1989 Trans Am
So I was driving down S. Broad Street in Hamilton and I saw this gorgous trans am in the gas station parking lot next to the Acme. I pulled in to check out the For Sale sign. 1989 Trans Am, 39,000 miles $8,000 firm......Nice looking car and all....hard top, needs minor if no body work. KBB'd the car and they were like $3,000 retail value in excellent condition. I'm in the market for another f-body, but isn't that an absolutely ridiculous price?

People DO seem to think their cars are worth me than they really are because of iroc/trans am status, or minor bolt ons, low miles, etc. Just talk him down if you have cash. Just tell him take it or leave it.

It's high, but with only 39k miles I would expect the seller to ask more than whatever dinky price KBB is gonna spit out for a 20 year old car. $8k is prolly a little too high though.

its a little bit high but if its in the right condition the right buyer will buy it.
how often do you have a chance to buy an almost brand new condition thirdgen. if it was like 4500 it would garner a lot of attention. 8k gives the seller a nice block to bargain from

what offer did you put in? u told him you have cash in hand? it appeals to people to say that, also if you say you have cash in hand make sure you tell him it could be gone by the end of the week, a few days, etc. just in case hes desperate for money..
is the motor all original?

With a price like $8k firm, it doesn't sound like that seller's desperate for money. Usually when they are, you'll see "OBO" like what I'll be doing with the 15" rims at the swap meet.
