Default pricing help 89 convert.

Former club member selling his 89 grey metalic convert.

Sweet car, 24,000 miles I looked up the info on it and I think it was one of 230 with that color and a convert. garaged and very well maintained. Any ideas on pricing ?

:cheers:

Certainly looks great! What wheels are those?

Hard to say what it is worth with that low mileage.

Make him an offer several thousand less than you are wiling to pay and see what happens...you can always come up, you can't go lower

14k is the MAX I would pay for an 89 Vert. W/out seeing the car, do not quote this as gospel as I have seen many "Raggedtops" for less and although I am sure it is a nice car, look it over in person before making a final decision.
Hope this helps. :cheers:

Those are ZR-1 wheels, right? In Aug '02 I paid $13,400 for my 89 Convertible with a hardtop and 43,000 miles. I probably paid a little too much but you know how impulse buying goes. :rolleyes:

Anyway, no more than $14,500 considering you can get 92-96's for that kind of money if you look hard enough. Nice color on that by the way, never saw one like that. :thumbs:

Looks like a good one. Have it checked out and offer 11K and be willing to go to 14K if it is cherry. Problem areas on my 38,000 vert are electronic AC/heater, cruise control, and worn bolster by the driver's door. Make sure everything works. Check the top over real well as they cost around 1K to have replaced. Color combo looks sweet! Good luck! :cool:

Guidelines are not right or wrong answers ...

Average = $10,000
Good = $14,000

Good luck and keep us posted
