Vette Prices? Pease help
Wtf is going on? I saw an 84 vette with 80k miles on it and the dealership wanted 13gs for it. Is this normal? I was planning on saving 13gs by next year for a vette. With 13 can I only hope to get an 84, or is the dealership being unrealistic? What can I hope for with 13k by next year?
thanks

First off a dealer would be the last place I would look to buy. I bought my '86 for $7200, only has 60k with a new short block, trans. rebuild, and new radiator that only has 2k on them. Look around I'm sure in today's market you can find something like this if not alot better.

Car salesman are a lot like the card dealers in Vegas. The odds are always for the house. Even if you think you got a great hand, you got screwed somewhere, you just don't know it yet. :nono:

With 13K, you should be able to get into an LT1 with decent mileage.
Or a convertible L98 or higher mileage LT1 vert.
13K for an 84 is a joke.

<edit> p.s. to original poster: LT1 means 1992 - 1996 model years.

Dealers are a bad place to buy.
