Ok, I got another Caprice last week. If anyone can help me out, I love to pose some pictures for everyone. I just need an e-mail address from someone since I can't post them myself.

This is the feature list:

1990 Caprice 9c1
L05
Oil Cooler (part of 9c1)
Transmission cooler
Spotlight - still works
Heavy duty bucket front seats (cloth front, vinyl rear just like my old one)
Heavy duty back seat (completely vinyl which is not like my last one)
Rubber matting
Interior is a dark blue, also called dark safire
Aftermarket center console
Aftermarket CD player
Reminder package

On the negative side:

Headliner needs to be redone (not a big deal, got my last one done)
Dash pad is cracked
Seats feel a little old
Body looks good overall; however, it needs some work and probably will need to be repainted entirely

It has just over 102,000 miles on it; paid $4,200 for it.

Tell me what you think. Did I pay too much? ($4200)

P.S. I learned after my trip that there was one for only $3750 where my dad got the old white one. Talk about after the fact.

Another side note:

Only thing that puzzles me is that the trunk does not have an SPID label. My guess is either it was a replacement trunk, the label was painted over, or removed. If it was painted over, I probably would be able to see the outline (I can't) and I think that label is difficult to remove, so I believe that it must be a replacement trunk lid.
