Default $3k for a '95?

Sorry about that guys. I DID mean '85 not what I posted. Since I have a '95 Pontiac that year is the first thing that came to mind.

Found this cruising my local CL site >> http://detroit.craigslist.org/car/703184225.html

Guess you meant an 85 with bad trans and paint? Still might be a fair price for a DIY person if everything else is good.

Sounds like a good deal to me as long as the rest of the car is good.

That looks like a real listing but be careful - if something looks too good to be true it may just be a trick to add emails to a spam or scam group. Craigslist is dealing with those kind of issues these days. I always look for details in the description that prove the location of the product is correct. You may see listings that say all the nice things about the car but no details on who to call, first name or side of town they are in - I proceed carefully on those and or use an email address set up for spam. Cheers Eddy

I would say that the price is about right for it. It's not a smoking deal but you can be into it for relatively short money and have some fun.

It is definately not a "too good to be true" find IMHO

Not to far from me...Looks like a fair deal, I don't know if that would rub out? If it needs paint it would not be worth it unless you paint cars. IMHO

IMHO 2K might be more like it. With all the issues the seller has disclosed there's bound to me twice as many they didn't disclose. And all those issues cost time and lots of coin...Reminds me of the saying "rode hard and put away wet" There's plenty of c4's out there in better shape for around same money.

Looks like it would be a good parts car. It would cost to much to get that one up to snuff. About $ 7.000 car IF it needed nothing, Here in N.Y.

I figure in the future, just the hood alone on C4 corvettes will bring quite a bit. A person might grab some good parts cars now.....for a rainy day.
