Default does a 1990 have the opti?
Hello all,
Dont bash me yet.......................looking at a 1990 convertible with 42,000 miles tomorrow. Other than way overpriced it looks really nice, yep its at a stealers lot. they ran it twice on ebay and it brough only 1/2 way bids to their asking price of $13,900. Does it have the opti spark in it?
Thanks for the input.

No opti but you should go check out their "weed" lot, they are growing some good stuff.

No opti for the 90. Can you post pics of the Vette? 1990 is my favorite year C4.

Frustrating

But, you're doing the right thing by passing on something that isn't right for you ... keep up the search

That Vette looks nice. Any issues can be fixed. If you can work on the price and have a trade you can have a good deal. I'd still look into this vert.
