Vehicle Detail
Beautiful silver 1991 Oldsmobile Silhouette. Six-passenger seating (rear 4 removable one at a time if desired). All the usual accessories for an Olds—A/C, tilt wheel, cruise, power steering, windows, mirrors, rear electronic air compressor, (load leveler), comes with a long hose and gauge to inflate tires, beach balls, air mattresses. OEM adjustable roof luggage rack. AM/FM cassette stereo will almost blast you out of the van. This van was previously owned by a mechanic who overhauled the top of the engine, including installing a new $225 alternator. Engine runs so quietly, it’s barely noticeable. Notice in the pic, it idles 700-800 rpm and oil pressure is 40 lbs at 60 mph when hot. We just drove this on a 900 mile trip, 70 mph (where possible) running the AC, got over 24 mpg, burned NO oil. I was surprised, but it’s true. You get the original Owner’s Manual with the car. This is truly a one-of-a-kind car. Why are we selling it? Bought it for my wife to haul her friends, but she decided she prefers her Fiero and let her friends drive. Our loss is your gain. The bad? Well, no 20 year-old car is perfect. As you can see from the pic, driver’s seat has wear, other seats and carpet need a good cleaning. Tho it cools, AC could use a charge, and there are various insignificant nicks in the paint. The ‘low fuel’ light stays on no matter how much gas but the needle is accurate. I’ve installed a new window motor on the drivers side. The passenger side won’t go down and have not ascertained the reason. I’ve installed the 2 new outer door handles. The VIN is correct in the listing. But if YOU love a “Space Age” looking car, THIS IS YOUR CAR!! I feel confident that this car may be driven anywhere (on highways) within the US, so you can save the e-mails. J I have tried to describe it completely and honestly. If I missed anything of consequence, I apologize but it was not intentional and therefore cannot be used as a reason NOT to accept the car after you win the auction. This is a 20 year-old car. It has “character marks” and a personality, like any 20 year-old car. But in my opinion, is in MUCH better condition than the average 20 year-old car. And only 190k miles. That’s fewer than 10k miles per year. Now for the nitty gritty. Please remember, this is an AUCTION to BUY the car, not to INSPECT it. When you win, IT IS YOURS. The only other aspect is—YOU PAY FOR IT. If you wish to inspect it (BEFORE THE AUCTION CLOSES), I will be happy to set an appointment to show it to you. If you live near San Antonio, I urge you to see it because I think you’ll be as sold on the car as I am. Payment will be as follows: $500 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit. Contact me for details. If you don’t have $500 to send overnight (as in IMMEDIATELY!) DO NOT BID! NO CASHIER’S CHECKS FROM NIGERIAN BANKS (or any other banks, for that matter). Balance to be paid within 7 days (not business days) either by CASH at pickup OR other mutually agreeable form of payment RECEIVED within the 7 days from end of auction. Car must be picked up within 15 days of end of auction UNLESS OTHER MUTUALLY AGREEABLE ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE. Transport is the obligation of the buyer. I’ll help by being available but that is about all I can promise. However, if you just need a dependable minivan, YOU’LL LOVE THIS CAR. Buy it AND drive it home!! Just don’t take off into space!!
