Market commentary

Reported sold at Kissimmee four months ago for $11,000, this is a niche auto. No one really knows, and even fewer care, about these German imports brought to the U.S. to satiate Buick dealers' desires for cheap cars. But, no matter how little one cares, they're pretty neat little cars although this result values it at the very pinnacle of Opel Kadett Rallyes. It was probably bought by a former Buick dealer; no one else cares.
