Great car. Good engine. Good milage. Good price.

Bad color. Probably bad fade from the bra.

I wouldn't.

Now, if it was a '94 in red....

It's a hot car. Kinda sad other convertibles of the era seem to ahve so little collector value. I've seen really nice Sebrings from the era at give-away prices.

its one of those cars i like more cause of the rarity

[Camino LS6]

Well it's not a car that I really have any interest in, but I know that Oldsmoboi likes them and it is local to me - so I thought I'd post it.

Price seems very good to me.

if only it was RWD.... and I HATE "car bras" they're lame on EVERY level.

I'm a Women's Libber at heart when I see one of those monstrosities... "Burn your bra!"

Those things are sort of like the plastic seat covers of the 50s and 60s: basically silly.

It's not bad as a get around town car... but the 3.1 was a slug in the regular coupe, I can't imagine what'd it'd be like in the heavier convertible. The convertibles with the DOHC V6 would please all except the most diehard of RWD fans on this forum.

[Sixty8panther]

Bras are lame and ruin the pain by trapping moisture,

leaving fade-lines and worse still scratching up your

car worse than the scratches they were supposed

to prevent.

PLastic seat covers, chessy or not, PROTECT a

delicate or expensive interior without hiding it...

just don't weat shorts in the summer. OUCH.

My '64 Olds' metallic stiched, 99% mint interior

would have received clear plastic seat covers

had it not been for me selling it.

I think you know I am in this minority.

Although throw a 5-speed into the

mix and i just might bite if it was

cheap enough. With today's gas

prices a fruity four-cam V6 with a

manual might persuade me to get

it for a daily driver, then flip it as

soon as you'd find that one

nutcase who knows how rare it is.

Have you ever ridden in or driven one of thoe Sebrings? I used my parent's '96 LXI as a daily driver for almost a year, and I can tell you that no price is too low. Someone would have to pay me to take one of those worthless $h!boxes. Anyone who buys one with real money is a fool.

Never driven one, but seeing nice clean ones for $1500 with less than 100k made me think.

Ohhh, under 100k miles? That one might be on the original engine and transmission!

[A Horse With No Name]

Seriously, I love convertibles and the thought of a cheap one seems to keep me thinking.

Although I'd much rather pay 5k and buy a decent Fox body Mustang ragtop or a 3rd gen Camaro ragtop I think...

Sebring.... makes me think of the US "Office" when Dwight thinks he got MIchael demoted. LOL

Rented a 1998 in 1998. With 3,000 miles on the clock it stalled out in a Florida toll booth and wouldn't start again for a few minutes.

Sadly. Oldsmobile never made a DOHC/5-speed/Convertible combination. The 5-speeds were Coupe and Sedan only.

When he said he'd trade in the Company Lease on the "Famous Sebring" for something German...
