I think the colour compliments my other two. It's way more money than I usually pay for a Cadillac though. no

Maybe a lower offer would fly Ray...or the fella can trade up to a newer model w/ a minimal cash difference!?nod.gif

So that'd have to be the Oldsie Diesel...right?.

It must be a good engine that was properly maintained as most of them blew up years ago. Mostly due to neglect. I had 2 of the Olds diesels way back in the day. kinda like the way they ran and they were cheap to run. Diesel was a lot less than gas back in the early 80's

Power output for the 1980 was a whopping 125 HP.

Found on the web:

"The Oldsmobile diesel engines gained a reputation for unreliability and anemic performance that badly damaged the North American passenger diesel market for the next 20 years.[1][2]"

I drove a diesel Parisienne on a 1600 mile trip years ago and it averaged about 33 mpg. Amazing at the time. Now a Roadmaster throttle body or Caprice throttle body does close to that. Still a cool Caddy though. Love the unusual colour.
