Mark VIII values

[Hot*Mk8]

I think we all were, at some point.

But my "high school car to destroy" was an '82 Buick Skylark. I don't feel too badly about that one.

Hahaha!!! My high school graduation present was an 83 Buick Skylark and I did eventually wreck it. :laugh:

Ha! Amazing!!

Robin's egg blue? Blue Velour interior? Unkillable, but gutless, 4 cylinder?

I somehow managed to get dual 15" subs into the trunk of that thing, too..

My buddy just grabbed a 97 mark ivory met all the bells and whistles. Just over a 100k, busted air-ride. The guy wanted 1500 he got it for 1200.
You couldn't find a Mark VIII like that 5 years ago for that price. So i gotta think overall the marks are going down in value.

I agree!
The older they get, the more they tend to fail, and a lot of people cant work on them, dont know how, or cant find anyone who can/will. Plus the parts are scarce SOOOO......they drop in value like a share of ENRON stock.

That makes them GREAT cars for guys/gals like us...who know them, want them, and can renew them.

I paid $10k for a 70k mile 97 LSC in 2004. it was in SHOW condition, and I wanted it for my wife. I bought my 94 the year before from the same dealer for $7500 with 52k on it.

I just sold my well-appointed 98 LSC with 130k for less than $3k. It wasn't cherry, but had more goodies than "baddies".
