They have been steadily dropping the price. I think the mileage will scare a lot of prospective buyers away.

I don't think it is a Limited because it has hubcaps. I need to find out if it has the 2.93 or 2.56.

For some reason it is easier to find Roadmasters that have been transplanted from somewhere else.

This is an original owner car. My parents bought this car in Sterling Colorado. My Dad has passed on and now we moved my elderly Mother to Topsham to live with us. We drove this car from Colorado to Maine without any issues. The car has always been garaged and had regular maintenance. Tires are almost new. The average yearly mileage is around 6,300 miles.
Known Issues:
Air conditioner line has a hole in it somewhere so it does'nt keep a charge.
Right rear passenger door window does'nt lower properly. It goes down at an angle. Possibly a track issue???
If where it lived in Colorado was not snowy then this could be pretty clean.
2.56 car but a 95 so I can reprogram easily for my 3.42 axle. Assuming my old yellow Dell laptop still works.
Looks like northeastern corner of the state, between Kansas and Nebraska. Not in the mountains. So...no snow?
Not too excited about the color combo but white on red is still better than white on blue.
The real trouble here is they are asking way too much for the car.
No landau, which is a pro.

It looks pretty complete overall. At $2500 it is probably a decent buy, and I don't have to travel 700 miles one way to get it.

They do get snow. Not a ton but they have a winter for sure.

You should ask if they can send a pic of the SPID.

Regular maintenance but it needs rear window rollers and an A/C line. These are very typical and not a big deal but maybe some people think regular maintenance is oil changes.

Clean 93 for 7 grand. Sounds to be in immaculate shape aesthetically and mechanically.
