That Woodrose would look good next to my Medium Woodrose Metallic (The Scab). Same top and interior color.

It is nice indeed.

I wonder what kind of car the original owner traded it in on? And why get a new car when you only drive 500 miles a year, probably less since that owner is probably ancient now.

And finally, I wonder what the dealer gave for trade in? One of those 110% of Blue Book value deals? So they gave them $1500? Crooks.

Vic - I like your color better!

Thanks, I'd say the same but there's an obvious bias there.
Here's a '90 CV in two tone of both colors for sale in Metro Detroit. I think both colors look great combined like that.

That one has been for sale forever, I think they were asking $3K when i first saw the ad.

Wow, that 90's frame is almost as clean as my 88's! And I've got 10 times the mileage haha.

Vic, that 90 is gorgeous, I'd give that guy $1,900 no problemo for it. Especially if the Mark VII could go for $800-1,200 bucks.

Annnd I know why: Despite what the ad claims, "Rust Free", it is actually a rusty POS. Ashley and I went junkin' on Sunday and that car was the last stop. Interior was decent but the body was no bueno. The wheel lips, lower fenders & dog leg were crusty. Frame was worse, the oil pan was so rusty it's a wonder it wasn't already leaking. Paint was shot too, passenger side was all scraped up and the driver's side had a nice rust spot by the taillight. $700 car tops.

Dang, I figured there had to be a reason that thing had been on CL off and on for the past few YEARS.

[DerekTheGreat]

LoL yup. Ashley and I were saying that to ourselves even before we looked at the car. Then of course, seeing is believing. Tires were dry rotted too.

Thought you liked driving stuff with rotten tires Derek

[DerekTheGreat]

Hahaha, yeah dry rotten tires are about as reassuring as "Don't worry, I'm on the pill!"
