Default Am I getting snookered?

Hello all,

Is $3,500 a good/fair deal for a 1984 C4 Series Corvette? Color: Blue with black at bottom. No body damage. Clear coat coming off in several areas. New bushings (52 or so evidently). Display panel working. California top. Showing 147,145 mileage. Let me know if more info is needed. --Thank you

Thank you. I hope that I will get insight from people here who know a lot more than I do.

I also posted on the C4 Series sell car/parts (?) part of this forum that has more detail. I didn't realize on my first posting that there was a part of this forum dedicated to the C4 Series.

Have a great day!

Okay fellow Corvette enthusiasts, from what I have gathered from the kind people who have replied on this forum, the CarFax repoprt, and a day spent on YouTube regarding this 1984 C4 Series Corvette, I am not going to buy this car.

Again, thank you all for your replies and sharing your knowledge.

Welcome and this car has a newer rear bumper than factory. Good to know that you decided to pass after you gathered information. Don't let this deter you from getting a Corvette. Just look at it as not the right one!
