Default Help on vette offer

I am looking at a 1981 vette with a 383 stroker approx 10,000 miles on it ten year old paint maintained well asking 12,500 also a 78 vette with a golen 383 also a ten year paint very well maintained he is asking 13900 and has been for sale over a year. This is my re entering into vette ownership since the early 80's. Any one give me an idea what these might be worth and what type of offer. I would appreciate any info out there Thank you

Those are some of the highest production years, and therefore there are a ton of them in the market. When you combine that with the fact that they are NOM's, I think they are both way overpriced.

Nobody will be able to tell you what the cars are worth without seeing the cars, from what you have described, I wouldn't even consider offering 10k for either unless it was a pristine fresh restoration.

Location, rust, photos ??

Not enough information to make a judgement- but nowhere near $10k.

That's why it's been for sale for a year . . .keep walkin' . . . .

Have you seen either car? Do you actually want either car? If so, make an offer of top dollar for what you are willing to pay. The seller either accepts or rejects.
