Default Early C4 value question........

Ballpark value for a very nice 1 owner '85, black with 40k miles on it.
No Z51, no sport seats but this car is a 9 on a 1-->10 scale.

Just wondering.....

$7000-$10000, it's a big ballpark. Trouble is, there are a lot of newer cars in that ballpark too.

I've got an immaculate 1985 4+3 with 37,000 miles on it. Entire car is truely showroom condition. I wouldn't consider anything under $10,000 FIRM for it. That's what it's worth to me and I only laugh at people who try to hit me with the $4k to $5k figure some members of this forum come up with because that's all others ask or get for theirs. I know I'll probably never get $10k for it, but I'll probably never want to sell it eigther. It's just too nice of a C4.

If the next newer gens values are still up there its easier to get what yours is really worth, when they come down to the same range it gets tough. Youll just have to be patient and find the right guy.
Like the black 85s myself.

Its 2011 with a bad economy going on, no way he'll get 7-10,000 for a 85
