[QUOTEThe tires, albeit old, are also like new Dunlop Sport tires that still have the nubs on them. Car was stored in a heated storage garage and the tires show absolutely no signs of weather checking or cracking.... and therefore I am going to continue to drive on them until they give me reason not to. They felt fine on the drive home.][/QUOTE]
I would consider replacements. The ones on my 95 looked great also but were old. I replaced them myself and it was interesting to see all the little cracks come out on the sidewalls when I broke the beads on the tire machine.
Good luck with the vert

I was told I was second in line out of a dozen guys that contacted him in less than 2 hours. First guy was going to drive up from Olympia yesterday but came up with a so story about not being able to come up with the money in time and could he hold it for the weekend..... Seller passed on that and called me. I left work, grabbed the cash and the wife, and parked it in MY shop. It does seem like C4's go for quite a bit around here.... hence why I am sticking to my guns about it being a "good deal".
Whereabouts are you located? I'm in Stanwood.

Tires are certainly on the list, just not a critical item at the moment. I will run them while I am fixing it up and get to them eventually.

Judging from your wheels you have the Z52 package with some suspension and cooling goodies if your RPO sheet has GM1=2.59
GU2=2.73

The DOT date code is on the inside of the tires, (the 2 that I looked at), but I am going to say 10 years old minimum since that's how long it had been since it ran last. The Jiffy lube oil sticker is still ledgible in the windshield and it was due for an oil change in 2006, but is still about 1000 miles away from the posted 3000 mile change.

I think you got a good deal
My 89 convertible I paid $2,500.00 117,000 back then but it's manual 6 speed and needed a new convertible top and other things
yes I have cut the lawn since then

Cool car - not much else to say there. One thing I will point out. The aftermarket stereo is a McIntosh! I have never seen one like that, but McIntosh is one of the best car audio brands there is. Do some research on that piece because it might be very valuable.

Not overly valuable though, the most recent ones on eBay sold for around $150.
