April 12, 201213 yr Cheers or Jeers: 12,000 Mile 1982 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight Diesel Wagon Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/...=item1c25d890b7 Listing is for a 1982 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight Wagon Has been sitting in a barn untouched for the last 10 years! Car is in pretty good shape, Starter is bad 5.7 Liter Diesel Motor Odometer lists mileage at 12,604 This listing has NO RESERVE!! Bidding starts at $750.00 Car is sold on a Bill of Sale only, and Sold AS IS/NO WARRANTY I have the right to cancel this listing at any time.
April 12, 201213 yr That would be 112k miles. Its funny, I was thinking I should buy a diesel wagon during my drive to work this morning.
April 12, 201213 yr That would be 112k miles. The condition of the car is odd, so to me, that's debatable. To me, it appears the car was not properly stored, resulting on rust on some items, but other items seem nicer than would be expected on a 112K car. Particularly, the front seat. Both of my '80 B-bod wagons had the same fuzz and both were threadbare in spots by 100K. Also, the headliner, assuming its present, is not drooping... something that comes from high temperatures and open windows at speed. That said, 12K sounds low for a car only in a barn for 10 years... but perhaps it was seldom run due to mechanical problems or personal preference. After having a diesel in the '81 Cutlass, I can't imagine how awful a diesel in a wagon would be. It also has no title... bill of sale only... IIRC, Illinois requires titles for all cars... so either the seller is hiding something or lost the title. In either case, getting a title could be a PITA (though Illinois seems to have bonded titles) for out of state buyers not living in Alabama.
April 15, 201213 yr Diesel is awesome! It has probably only done 12,000 miles though because the engine blew after that.
