Advisefor 82 price
Hi All, There is a 82 on ebay near my location that caught my eye.
I did not see it yet but if the sellers info on the car is legit,I would be
very interested. What do you think it is worth? Thanks

I'm pretty sure you'd get an unkind response . . 
Looks like a very nice, clean original car-- tough to value those low mileage cars that are otherwise not really collectors or rare- I suppose it's worth whatever you think you can pay for it - - but be assured, if you start driving it, the value will do nothing but decline.
So-- buy it to enjoy it.
The only caveat I'd add is to look carefully at the dates on the tires- they appear to be original and I wouldn't want to go very far or very fast on 30 year old tires- regardless of the low miles.
Plan to put new tires on it- but hang on to the originals if you can - -or offer to sell them for someone looking to get an 82 certified as original.
Good luck

You can always offer low and negoiate up. You can't come down. I paid $14,500 for an 82 CE that already had $10k in mods done to it and some thought that was high. Its just what you want and your money. Just my $.02

looks like a verry nice 82,but he may not get that price .if you want the car and he wants to sell .you two should be able to find a compromise.the average 82 wlth a lot of miles and average condition would be closer to 5-8 thousand.if this is the year and color and options that you have to have, and you want a great car that might be the one.good luck .
