Welcome and congrats on your toy. Lots of help here on the forum. If your interior is 'trashed', you'll be spending more than a few bucks to make it presentable. Photos and more specifics would help in getting some answers for you. Also, use the message title box to help members know what you're posting about.
Enjoy the ride, and remember to wave!

The interior for the 84-89 is substantially the same. Digital dash, same layout. In 90 the interior and dash were changed.
Bottom line, when you decide which part you want, do some research on compatiblity. I know, nothing is ever easy.
BTW, I own an 87, and interior bits and pieces are very expensive.
Good luck.

Parts won't be too bad on price if you pace yourself. A little bit here and there instead of all at once. It's actually better in my opinion to do it this way as many of the interior parts you may want to replace won't look so bad when just the major ones are done.

It's cheaper to fix in the long run.

If you aren't picky and it doesn't have to be perfect, peruse the parts for sale section and post what you need. Good used stuff will go a long way. Check the Bay of e frequently as well, and check out Corvettesalvage.com
Congrats on the car.

You have to shop around
I bought my 84 and the interior was dirty, sort of beat, but no major items totally trashed. Basically,missing screws, cracked/loose plastic trim, tore up seats, dirty carpet, ripped up rear speaker covers etc.
I started by cleaning everything, repairing plastic trim pieces (Places like Eastwood have kits). Installed new synthetic leather (vinyl) seat covers off of EBAY for $230.00 delivered, installed replacement speaker material covering etc. ... just kept chipping away, spent no more than $400.00 and the interior went from "beat" to "sweet" at a reasonable cost, not counting a ton of my free labor... which is the "fun" part of have old cars right!

That's the best way to do it unless you're trying to build a show car.

Well if its the carpeting is trashed (it usually is with C4s) then you want a full new set:

They also sell partial sets as well
If it is the dashboard or something else you can look around here:

Hope this helps and congratulations on the new Vette.
