THIS YEAR THIS CLASSIC 1985 OLDS CUTLASS SUPREME BROUGHAM BECOMES ELIGIBLE FOR "ANTIQUE CAR" STATUS. YOU MAY WANT TO FIX HER UP A BIT AND USE IT AS A SECONDARY VEHICLE. THAT IS WHAT WE DID THE LAST 6 YEARS THAT WE OWNED HER. WE AQUIRED HER AT AN ESTATE AUCTION. NOT AT A "CAR" AUCTION. THE FELLOW WHO PREVIOUSLY OWNED IT KEPT HER IN A GARAGE AND DROVE IT SELDOM THE LAST THREE YEARS OF HIS LIFE. HE PASSED AT 93 YEARS OF AGE. THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT BUMPER RUBBER HAS SEPARATED ON THE CORNER. THE LARGE TRUNK IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND THE SPARE DONUT WAS NEVER USED. THE ORIGINAL PAINT IS STILL PRETTY GOOD, ALL EXCEPT FOR A PATCH, ON THE UPPER DRIVERS SIDE OF THE TRUNK, WHICH HAS ALLIGATORED A BIT, AND A FEW MINOR NICKS AND SCRAPES THAT AREN'T BAD. THERE ARE SOME RUST SPOTS ON THE REAR BUMPER. THE ONLY REASON AT THIS POINT IN TIME THAT WE ARE PARTING WAYS WITH THIS CLASSIC IS BECAUSE SHE HAS LOST HER REVERSE, AND I AM NOT A MECHANIC. SHE HAS BEEN SLIPPING FOR SOME TIME, AND JUST LAST MONTH IT FINALLY WENT. SO IF YOU ARE A GOOD MECHANIC AND KNOW THE INS AND OUTS OF THIS TRANSMISSION, THEN THIS IS THE CAR FOR YOU. ON 4-28-2010 I HAD HER INSPECTED AND IT FAILED FOR THE REAR BRAKES. THEY SEEMED FINE TO ME, BUT I DON'T HAVE A COMPUTERIZED BRAKE TESTING MACHINE IN MY BACK YARD. THE ENGINE RUNS FINE, BUT MAY NEED A LITTLE TUNE-UP. THERE IS AN ORIGINAL AIR CONDITIONER HOOKED-UP AND WE PUT A LOT OF MONEY TO GET IT TO WORK RIGHT, BUT THE MECHANIC WE USED APPARENTLY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT RIGHT. IT ONLY BLOWS HEAT. TO OUR KNOWLEDGE SHE DOESN'T LEAK ANY OIL. IT IS A CLASSIC 8 CYLINDER, AND STILL HAS GOOD PICK UP WHEN IT NEEDS IT. SHE STILL ALSO HAS A FAIRLY SMOOTH RIDE. THE SEATS AND DOORS ARE STILL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. ELECTRIC WINDOWS WORK, RADIO WORKS, ELECTRIC ANTENNA GOES UP AND DOWN, BUT CASSETTE PLAYER DOES NOT WORK. WINDSHIELD WIPERS ONLY HAVE ONE SPEED. (SLOW). WINDSHIELD WASHER WORKS MANUALLY. CIGARETTE LIGHTER DOES NOT WORK. THE CEILING MATERIAL IS FULLY INTACT AND NOT TORN OR MARED AT ALL, BUT IS SAGGING. (WE HAVE SOME PLASTIC KEY CARDS HOLDING THE MATERIAL IN PLACE). THIS CAR COMES FROM A NON -SMOKING FAMILY. THE WINDSHIELD HAS ONE SMALL DING CAUSED BY A KICKED-UP STONE. PROBABLY THE BEST POINT TO MAKE IS THAT THESE CLASSIC WIRE WHEELS WOULD PROBABLY COST OVER $1,000 NEW TODAY FOR THE SET OF FOUR. WE HAVE THE KEY THAT LOCKS THE WIRE WHEELS IN PLACE. SO IF YOU PLAN ON PARTING THIS CAR OUT YOU COULD PROBABLY MAKE A FEW THOUSAND ON IT! THE CRUISE CONTROL STILL WORKS. THE SOFT GREEN COLOR ISN'T A COLOR THAT YOU SEE EVERY DAY. WE ENJOYED DRIVING THIS COMFORTABLE CAR FOR 6 YEARS AND I THINK SHE HAS MANY MORE YEARS TO OFFER AFTER YOU INVEST A LITTLE. YOU MUST PAY AND PICK HER UP AT OUR RESIDENCE WITHIN 7 DAYS AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. WE ARE LOCATED IN CENTRAL NEW JERSEY. WE ARE NOT A CAR DEALER. WE HAVE 2 SETS OF KEYS, THE ORIGINAL 1985 OLDSMOBILE OWNER'S MANUAL, THE OWNER'S MANUAL SUPPLEMENT, THE VEHICLE INSPECTION REPORT (4-28-2010), AND THE CERTIFICATE OF TITLE WHICH WILL BE HANDED OVER WHEN THE CAR IS PICKED UP. OUR PHONE NUMBERS ARE: 732-721-4494 (HOME) 732-693-7272 (CELL) UP TO 11PM. REMEBER; THE TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS THAT NEED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION IS NO REVERSE AND FAILED FOR BRAKES. THERE ARE NO RETURNS AND THIS CAR IS BEING SOLD AS IS. OUR PHOTOS SHOULD TELL JUST ABOUT ALL OF THE REST. NO RESERVE!
