Have you yet been able to dispose of the Buick Car? We still have the - Hupmobile. Dodge. 6-cylinder Buick (old). I believe we could get £350 for the Dodge Car locally. I understand the retail price of the new Car in England now is £450 with right-hand steering - the one we have is with left-hand steering which depreciates its value for English use. What would you say is a reasonable price for these cars? They are depreciating the whole time we are keeping them, so I would recommend that we get rid of them as quickly as possible.
