[Paul Huryk]

I'm always in the market for 3rd gens and I do think that the values have moved up in the last 2 years. In fact, the GTA I bought in 9/12 would be about $1,500 more today than I paid easily.

I think some of that may be spillover from the monstrously overvalued musclecar market where everything has gone up into the stratosphere. When people are paying big $ for disco 2nd gens, you know the 3rd gens are getting some attention too.

Personally, I don't mind paying good money for a great condition car that has something going for it (L98, LB9 5speed, L69 5 speed...). But when L03 basket cases on the market for $4k, the fixer uppers are too high - why would you pay $4k for a car that needs $8k worth of work to sell for $7k? People must be on some serious medical ganja lately.
