I’m a big fan of super low mileage cars. There’s usually a nice story behind how a car remained undriven for so many years usually along the lines of man buys car, dies a few years later, wife can’t drive, car sits until being discovered decades later. This 1985 Chevrolet Caprice Wagon found on Ebay has no explanation of how its only clocked 6,015 miles over a 26 year period. We do see a few clues in the vehicle history report. The report show the car was titled in 1991, possibly for the first time. The registration was occasionally renewed over the next 20 years- evidence that the car sat undriven during this period. On 7/24/2008 the Caprice was sold at auction with 5,915 miles on the odometer.
With a buy it now price of $10,500 the car can be purchased for about the price of what it cost back in 1985. It’s hard to imagine these will ever become big time collectable cars, so if you buy it do you use it as reliable daily driver or store it and keep it as new? For me it would be the perfect flashback wagon for daily use.
Beautiful car… I own one and it was in good shape. Somebody ran into it and totaled it out… Paid $3000 for it about 5 years ago and now it gone… Sad!
i would drive it to see if it still runs like new
I am from England and I too love the older American Station Wagons. My girlfriend is always surprised to see my excitement when I see one on the TV as she grew up in the USA and says they were very common back then. I went to the USA for the first time in 2014 and was astounded not to see these type of cars but so many HYUNDAI AND KIA… whats that all about??!!! We are moving to the states early next year and I have seen the Chevrolet Caprice in Sioux Falls which you did a feature on with low mileage and am thinking of putting an offer in and keeping it at a relatives place until we arrive. All the best. Sim
