My girls and I took a summer night cruise to the little town of Pontiac IL for the Monthly cruise night. WOW. What an awesome night it was too. Beautiful downtown, with the Pontiac-Oakland Museum, RT 66 Museum, all the Murals on the buildings, nice people, great food, and a perfect sunset to finish the night.If you ever get a chance to visit Pontiac, I highly recommend it. You will love it. Here are a just a couple of my favorite pics. You can see them all in a slideshow on my photobucket page, just click the next link.

Moment of Madness ended...new sale price...

$15,000K

Here is a pic from last night's Cruise in Lockport, IL.

 
Less than 2 hours left on Ebay... up to $15k now... still a great deal for this car and everything it has on it and it is in MINT condition.......
 
Sale failed again.......the winning bidder emailed me on Tuesday that he was going to pick up the car yesterday with a cashiers check.... Since then he did not make his deposit or respond to my last two emails or phone calls.... I don't know what happened to him but I know I gave him till yesterday and also turned away 5 inquiries about the car as it was for sale locally too...not anymore.....I couldn't' even offer as a second chance bid because that guy messaged me within less than 24 hours till auction close to cancel his bid because he bought another car....I thought he sabotaged the auction and that I got lucky with a last second bid to outbid him..... both guys had great Ebay ratings too....That is the worst thing about Ebay..they take huge fees but no way to hold anyone really accountable for their bids.... that would never happen at a Mecum or Barrett Jackson auction....the only think you can do is give them a bad Ebay Rating....

So it is back on the market, I may take some time but worth every penny and I won't take less than $15K for it... I think it will most likely sell locally via this forum or the Turbo Buick forum to someone who actually knows these cars and their value....

The good thing is I get to enjoy it more now... :)
 
Ok, so you went from 17.5k down to 15k then down to 13.5k and now you won't take less than 15k? No wonder why it didn't sell
 
Thanks for the positive feedback....

YOU sir are what make these forums so valuable....

Me personally it would be a turn off if you are flip-flopping with the price.

You need to be a bit patient as the sellers market kind of sucks right now.

You had my ears perked at $13.5k but I had two issues, my wife would kill me and then you raised the price to $15k.

If you can hold till next spring sit on it and be firm at 17.5k as it is well worth it.

I would rather you get as much as possible for it as it helps all of us as setting market value.

Thank you.

I do appreciate that feedback.....

It was priced at $13,5 for a quick sale.... then I realized how crazy that was.... I have been taking it to tons of cruise nights and think there are on turbo buick or the turbo trans am site, the right buyer will come along...if I am patient.... it is still such a buyers market... with everything on this car and the condition it is in...it is really worth about $20K, so anything less is a steal... That is why it was priced at $17,5 to begin with...
