Duffy's web site says the asking price was $19,950.

I agree that Duffy's would be one of the most respected commercial dealers; I just thought that relatively very little information was provided by Duffy's, regarding the car and its history, including the not-small-matter of disclosing/acknowledging that the car has manual brakes and steering. The absolute value of the car resides in its mechanical and physical condition in relation and comparison to its selling price, and I don't think that we know what Duffy's (marked-up, obviously) selling Reserve on the car may have been. I would think that Duffy's Reserve would be around $12K- 15K (depending upon what they paid for the car, or their selling commission, if the car is being sold on consignment).

(We live in Iowa and have been there a few times for fun.) And though Neil makes a good point about a car's driving condition, I've also come to learn that cosmetics--especially things like interior/dash/chrome, etc.--are much more costly to restore than mechanical items. It does look like a sharp car!

Based on my experience, I would highly recommend them, and would gladly buy from them again. My car was exactly as they described it (maybe even better) and was priced very fairly. I purchased my car sight-unseen and when it arrived, I liked it even better than I had hoped for. It still looks and runs great and I'm still loving it to this day. Duffy's was honest and reliable to deal with, and is a "class act" (if things are still as they were in 1996). That Dodge looks nice and the price seems right.

I would prefer to buy a car from a long-time private owner; they tend to be honorable and have a personal interest in their car going to a good new-owner. At the least, they should be able to discuss and document the upkeep and maintenance of their car, because its primary consideration should be in its driving condition, rather than how pretty its paintwork might be.
