Market Value - HELP Please
I'm looking to buy an '81 or '82 vette, but am unfamiliar with retail (private seller) market value. I've seen a spread anywhere from $6500 - $30k. I'm NOT looking for a show car...just an everyday driver or weekend cruiser in good condition. Prefer no more than 75k orig miles. Is this example close to what I can expect is a fair value ? Thanks.
ex. 1981 CHEVROLET CORVETTE, THIS GREAT CONDITION CORVETTE HAD A SUPERB PAINT JOB DONE IN 1996 AND IN 2000 HAD THE ENGINE REBUILT AND PERFORMANCE INCREASED TO 305 HP. ALL ENGINE HANG ON PARTS WERE REPLACED WITH NEW AT THAT TIME. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 51600 ON THE CAR WITH LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON THE ENGINE. IN 2002 A NEW CD RADIO AND 4 SPEAKERS WERE INSTALLED. THE T-TOPS ARE MIRRORED. THE TIRES AND WHEELS ARE GREAT. $12,900.00
