Is there anyplace that you can go to get the value of an 84? KBB only goes back to 87 and NADA 88---so where would you go to get a value on an 84?? I would like to get a general idea of what to rpice my husbands car at if we decide to list it and I would like something a little more tangable than the opinions of fellow vette owners. Opinions are great but I would like to have something more.

Thanks
Lori

I think NADA will give you an estimate if you choose the collector car section. Try this link

Yep! and after seeing the NADA (National Automobile Dealers Asso.) estimate, you'll know why NADA's people are out of their minds!

Forgot to mention- Edmunds.com will also give you a value but they're always way on the low end.

Let's just say they thought my 1973 GT6 was worth $4,300 low retail and it was in good mechanical shape, but needed paint and some interior parts. I sold it for $2k and was happy to get rid of it.

Ok---I can see your point. I just wonder what they base their numbers on. I guess it's just weird cause if you are sellin a C5 or 6 then people are all over KBB and NADA (mostly looking for KBB private party value) but once you get into the 70's and low 80's then all of a sudden your car is not worth that..Kinda hypocritical don't ya think??


BTW---KBB doesn't even have a section for classic car pricing.

Selling any older car depends a lot on finding the right buyer. Unless you're in a hurry to get rid of the car you might try following a few auctions on Ebay to see what those cars go for, then adjust your asking price for options, condition and miles. It ain't rocket science but it might give you a better idea than some of the published numbers out there.

Dealers have a monetary interest in keeping the price of automobiles up as high as possible. You can trust the numbers about as much as you would trust your friendly local used car dealer! Need I say more?
