If you're in the market for a low-mile Oldsmobile, here's something you didn't expect to find today. This Ninety-Eight is a fantastic low-mile survivor whose odometer indicates only 25K miles, and the owner says the number is original.
The first thing you must know is that the car has never been restored. It's just a well-maintained Oldsmobile, flexing a green-on-green configuration that has never been altered.

eBay seller markie1991 doesn't share many specifics, letting the photos speak for themselves. They claim everything is in working shape, and the engine starts, runs, and drives properly.

The Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight is fitted with a 307 V8 engine, which was introduced in 1981 to replace the 350 unit. The 307 rapidly became a popular choice among Oldsmobile buyers, especially as the parent company previously dropped the 403 in 1980 when the Ninety-Eight received a major restyling.

The VIN on this Ninety-Eight (1G3AX37Y8CM115360) decodes to a 1982 two-door coupe. It's a Regency produced at GM's Lansing, Michigan plant.

As anyone can figure out, the V8 is ready for the road, albeit you shouldn't keep this Oldsmobile on the road for long. The next owner should preserve its mileage, so make sure you take the car home on a trailer if you're committed to a purchase.

The photos confirm that you won't find anything to complain about on this Oldsmobile. The owner does not reveal the floors, but you shouldn't expect bad news on this front. They are likely clean, as the body is flawless, so it's hard to believe the rust has invaded the undersides. You should still inspect the car in person or order a third-party inspection if you want to buy the vehicle, and putting it on a lift is an easy way to see what's hiding underneath.

The interior looks like new, and it's no surprise. With only 25,015 miles (40,257 km) on the clock, the previous owners didn't spend too many hours behind the wheels of this Ninety-Eight, so you won't find anything that needs urgent fixes.

Now, let's talk money.

This Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Regency doesn't sell for pocket money, albeit it's not as expensive as you'd expect it to be. The seller posted it on eBay with a $17,500 price tag, and considering the Make Offer button is not active, they're probably not willing to negotiate.

The interest in this Oldsmobile appears to be rather strong, as eBay's statistics indicate that 40 people monitor the Ninety-Eight. It's impossible to tell if they're already involved in negotiations, but if you want to buy the car, you'd better hurry up.

The vehicle is parked in Colonia, New Jersey, and considering its beautiful condition, you should prepare a trailer to take it home and keep the mileage unchanged.
