I almost missed it but had a good chuckle when I opened it. I think Lee Iacocca said something to that effect back in the day when asked about the Chrysler's brand demographic.

I agree with this. You should see some of the contestants on The Golden Bachelor. Wow they make 70 look like the new 45!
I'm like you in that I've always liked cars that some wouldn't deem "age-appropriate." As a child and all throughout my teen years, my favorite cars were S-Classes, 7-Series, Audi A8s, etc. I've never cared about them "being for old people." My partner and I probably look a little silly to others when we're in our Mercedes EQS as most people probably expect to see someone 55+ driving it, but I don't care at all, I like what I like

The reasons I have not bought a Cadillac or Lincoln is also product, not brand image.

I remember you liked the CT6 when it first came out....you, me (and Jill) had quite a few discussions (and differing opinions) on whether it was a better product than the also-new Lincoln Continental. You pointed out the fact that it was RWD/AWD based and was, in your opinion, a superior platform to the FWD/AWD Taurus-based Continental. We pointed out that the Continental had a more plush interior, more solid hardware, more features inside (like the 30-way power driver's seat and electronic door-releases), a more solid body-structure, and the ultra-lux Black Label versions.

The Continental was on my short list, because my friend has one and it's pretty nice.
Ultimately, however, i couldn't get over the fact it's a FWD architecture, still using a 6 speed, and I could get a 540i in the same price range. The BMW is just in another league.

Not a Buick but same sort of car, no one is gonna go out and drop 10K on this......it's a 3k car max. Buick is viewed the exact same way

I disagree. It will sell, and probably sell for the asking price......especially if it is in excellent or mint condition. I'd consider buying it myself, except that those cars had less-than-stellar reliability, and I need something smaller and more versatile than that today.

Now if this was an older RWD big block caddy from the 60s/70s then yeah, that's cool. This isn't, modern failwheel drive Buicks aren't.

He has reposted it 3 times already lol! About to expire again actually, no one wants these and it's the same way with Buick. People buy them because they are cheap, the new china SUV they make is again cheap so it will be considered and since they don't sell much/aren't desirable as a brand deals will be had

I never said he would sell it overnight.
But, if he has a little patience, I'm confident someone who can appreciate a car like that will make him a good offer...especially in this day and age, when you can advertise something on the Internet and the whole world will see it. 
I remembered way back then when my dad's friend just bought an 82 or 83 Century. He showed it to us and I was blown away by the powered windows, door locks, ac, velour ? seats, fancy dash...only bc we had a '79 chevette at the time
A year after that, my dad bought a poop brown Skylark....them suspensions are so comfy
My sister eventually got it as a hand me down.
