I am looking for some honest opinions

[BJ83Calais]

I posted a car for sale on May 31st and it didn't get much interest. I am looking for some honest input as to why this was the case. Here is the link to the post.

Where else did you advertise it. For the asking price I don't understand why it hasn't be picked up by now.

At $1200 the starting price isn't bad but the rust would be a big issue for me. Front fenders on G body Cutlass' don't usually rust there which raises huge concern....very unusual especially for a car that was never driven in the winter. If there is rust there what else is fubared? Perhaps you could show all rust area and more pics of floor the floor pan, seams, chassis and other problem areas. The other detractor for me is the green interior. The buckets, console and the rallye pac are nice but that green is not necessarily a popular color.

have you put it on your local facebook marketplace and Chicago Craigslist?

If I was closer I would buy it

If that was in Texas I'd bite.

One thing I always did when selling was take pictures outside instead of in the garage, running or not. I polished it, cleaned it up really good. Again, that was just my preference and to many it might not make a difference. Plus it depends if you are selling it as a project or fix to drive.

It is definetly a psycological thing because a dirty car might be in perfect condition, but it just does something to your brain when you see a shiny car vs. a dirty one. I always felt my car ran better after I waxed it? Sounds crazy?

When a stranger comes, and even if it has some rust, mechanical issues, that car out in the sun all polished, clean windows, shiny tires and rims, it just sets off something in the brain that gives the car a positive vibe.

Again this is just my 2 cents for what it is worth. I really like your car and hopefully you will get what you want when you try to sell it.

I am afraid I will buy it so I pretend it doesn't exist. Don't know why you have not sold it. It would make an awesome daily driver.
