Default 96 lt4

Might have my 84 sold a guy called me tonight and wants to buy it, don't have it listed for sale. I am looking to replace it with a 96 LT4 with 113K miles. A local dealer has a price tag of $12,993. I was thinking this might be a little high. The pictures show no interior damage, the weatherstripping looks like new or replaced. It is Torch Red. What do you guys think of the price about right or too high?

I am also considering a 99 FRC.

For 13k you should be able to find a well maintained lt4 with under 40k or 50k on it.

At over 110k I'd say somewhere around 8k or 9k would be closer.

Yeah 13K is too much. Even with the LT4 I wouldn't want to go over $10k unless I knew it had a lot of new things on it like a rebuilt or replaced transmission or etc. Something to justify the price.

I picked up a 96 LT1 for under $10k with 20k less miles. Can't figure the LT4 makes it worth that much more.

I kelly blue booked mine as in good condition and 8K was the result. 9 to 10k for great condition. I wouldn't do 13k unless it was under 40k miles.

That is too high. For 13k, you could buy a '99 FRC with over 100,000 miles.

I guess he didn't want it as bad as he thought he did. I gave him my price and he countered, I countered back, that was a week ago. He hasn't called me back. I reckon I will keep it, it's paid for and not costing me anything...
