Apparently the new owner bought the car several days ago for $8k and it now flipping it for $11k.

Apparently the new price was to good to pass up for someone as the seller has deleted the Craigslist post.

$8k looked like a very good deal.

The $12K looked like a good deal.

Looks like this car is for sale again by the new owner, on eBay.

Don't see it Jim. Can you post a link to it or post the eBay number.

Dan

This might be a different car.

Is this the same car you guys are talking about? Just saw it on Ebay this morning. starting bid $9700.00 The way the seller describes it he is selling for his Dad who can no longer enjoy the car

It looks to be the same car and is in the same location. Must be in a hurry to sell.  CL is deleted already and onto eBay.
Rear quarters look like they have been reworked and not well either.

Yeah,some close up pics of the lower would have been nice. I know that some of us just want to buy it and re-route the heater hoses(not saying PICKY)just want to detail it better.....lol.

Honestly can't remember what the $12K car looked like so don't know if this is the same car or not. It is a GS as the seller sent me a picture of the trim tag. That drivers quarter panel is poor to be sure. Seems like a decent driver quality car.

Warning.... apparently the seller's story of it being his dad's car is pure fantasy, car is being flipped! Chris had contacted both the present and previous owners of the car and the stories of the car's history aren't even close!
For those of you that don't know Chris, he's a well respected member of the Buick community that is constantly tracking down leads on cars for sale. He's been a great resource to those searching for the right Buick.

Thanks for the post Walt. Chris P is definitely the guy to ferret that sort of stuff out.
