djrobnyc Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 I just looked at 1995 with 113k at a new car dealer (he took it in on trade). I gave it a pretty good once over - top seemed pretty new, no noticeable leaks (squirted water bottles on it) Body all original in good shape, all glass goes up and down pretty smoothly. A few things: Dealer was asking $5971, lowered to $4770. I told him based on my research, the RETAIL on an EXCELLENT condition car, with NO work necessary was about $4700-$5200. He mentioned it was going to be a collectable, blah blah blah, and despite a lot of attempts to keep me from walking out, I did... for now. I would definitely want a Chevy/former Olds dealer to give a look - if I want to move forward, but here are my questions for now. 1) Is $4770 still too high (let's assume nothing comes back from my inspection - but I'm sure some things will). What would be a fair price? Any answers to the above questions would be greatly appreciated. Overall, the car seemed tight - but don't want to proceed without a good idea of price and whether these issues would be big bucks to repair. Thanks! Quote
GP1138 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 You posted those same questions in the correct section originally, though I deleted the duplicate thread you made. You don't need to post them a third time, they're not convertible specific. Quote
Psych0matt Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 If it's mint, then that's not a bad price at all, however I've yet to see one in that great of shape. Having said that, I would have offered 4k and maybe met somewhere between. I bought mine for 3500, and that was over 4 years ago. They're supposed to be "collectible", but I don't see anyone rushing out to buy it at that price, so although it might be worth that much to the dealer, I think it's slightly high, but it could also easily sell to the right person at that price.

oldscsc Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 $5,000 seems a bit much for a car with 113,000 miles IMO. Is this a 3.1 or 3.4 DOHC car? Quote
Psych0matt Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 wow, I missed the 113k part, that pushes me lower. Mine had just over 90k when I got it too, and it's a 3.4. Quote
