Sad day, the Delta is going up for sale. My first car and I've had it over 1 and a half years. It's just going to cost me too much to keep driving it. I'd love to keep it in the garage and store it, but we don't have much driveway space for another vehicle. So, next week it's going on the lawn for sale for around $750. :cry:

No, don't think I'm gonna get another Olds, but this is what replaces the Delta.

Yes, and it is no different than American plastic.

Well, it looks like a nice car for sure, kinda sad about the delta. Oh well, the "foreign plastic" will get you some damn good gas mileage, I'll bet.

Don't see what the big deal about foreign cars. Got the right deal, right mileage, etc. Just because I drive an import now, doesn't mean I'll hate on Domestics. I love domestics, but at this time in life the Toyota is more economical for me. NEVER, will I EVER bash on an Oldsmobile, Buick, etc... even though I had many problems with mine.

45mpg on the highway. We checked on the moving trip here. It's a 2.4 liter I4, but it does the job wayy better then my old 3.8 did.

Sadness that you had to sell your Olds.

But congrats on the new shiney, it looks nice. :D We have 3 cars, and one of them is an almost 17 year old Corolla, which has a special place in my heart because its been in my family since it rolled off the dealer's lot. I actually grew up in it, and it was the first car I drove. They last a damn long time and they get great gas millage. But I still love our Olds and our Chevy, so theres nothing wrong with liking both import and domestic. Great cars come from both, so why not I say. 8-)

Yes, point being? New owners are well aware of it.

A simple question. No more, no less.

Having trouble reading what is actually there?

WTG. Nothing better than getting a decent price for something you are selling... Sucks that you had to sell, but things happen. Going to stick around at all?

Thought you meant it was too high for a rebuilt title car. :wink:

It was better then the 750 I was asking. I knew I wasn't going to get what I put into it, but I'm fairly satisfied. Tryed and old real-estate trick of raising the price to sell it since I was having trouble selling it at 750, so was asking 1200. A person said if I would take 1100, said sure. Came back around nighttime only scraped up 960, so I just took that and gave him 10 for gas. Hope he takes care of her, he loved the car. Tell ya, the pant job is what sold it. :lol:

I'll probably view threads here and there, not guaranteeing anything, been busy as heck with the house, wiring is owning me now. Having no ground in the system is proving difficult! :)

Sorry to hear about the Olds. But those Corollas are very nice cars--surprisingly powerful too. A friend of mine bought one just like yours and he loves the gas mileage he gets with it. Best of luck with your new wheels; and as a former resident of Mississippi I'll say this--beware the ppick-up trucks on those back roads with your shiny new ride!!!
