- Hi, everybody
- Last weekend, I found a 1985 Olds 98 with 110k on it. The owner asked
- $3500 for it. Cause I am not familar with the products of GM, so I want to ask
- some question from you.
- 1) The 85 OLds 98 is in its first model year. Is it good to buy a first model
- year GM car?
- 2) What kind problems people have in 85 Olds 98?
- 3) What is the average life span of the engine?
- 4) What is the reasonable price for it? How to deal car price with car owner?
- 5) How to check it like mechanical condiction?
- 6) The plate on that is expired in June. How can I legally take to highway to
- test drive it?
-
- Thanks in advance
