I have owned three of these 1975 LeSabre convertibles. Weak points to watch out for are the plastic bumper fillers (which look okay on this car), proper operation of the sometimes troublesome "scissors" top frame, cracking of the large padded dashboard, damage and bending and pulling loose the aluminum front seat cushion end skirts from seatbelt buckles getting in the wrong place, rust in the lip of the trunk lid, and cracking of the plastic portions of the interior door panels and their clips which then pull away from the door. ALso, the door latches don't always work right due to loss or wear of the neoprene bushing in the door jamb.
Options which add value to the '75 are the 455 engine instead of the 350, chrome Buick wheels (neither of which this car has), and a working factory A/C system. The price of this one appears to be about right, assuming everything works properly.
