Looking at a 97 Z28 that has 53k miles on it. A4, T-top, and leather. The buyer is asking $6K. The car was involved in an accident where the front nose was replaced. Dont have any of the receipts from the repair work. The car seems to be in really good shape. Exterior looks really good. The two screws by the headlights that bolt the nose on really stand out though as they are stainless steel screws on a black car. Not sure why it was repaired that way. I think the screw locations are standard though right? Interior looks brand new. Any thoughts on the price? Any feedback welcomed.

 

id be careful, make sure theres no frame damage, and 6k is title salvaged? id go a little lower try to get it for 5k. try to get something in receipts if the car was in his possession while it got into an accident.

 

I've seen them hovering around 3-4k locally in Cali..you can probably fetch 5-6k since its low mileage and if its super clean....but since it was involved in an accident expect people to put you in the 2-4k range

 

kind of exactly what i was thinking. He is the 2nd owner and the accident happened before he bought it in 2000. He has had the car for about 3 years. No salvaged title. Just says on the carfax that it was involved in a front end accident. I am trying to get contact info for the original owner.

 

I also feel that a price in the $4,000 - $5,000 range would be better without knowing more about it. Love the low miles if Carfax can verify.

 

Called and talked to the original owner of the car. Accident involved replacing the front nose and the hood. Actually seemed like a really genuine person. Older gentleman. Said there was absolutely no frame damage and verified the mileage when he sold it and even told me how much it was sold for. Said he replaced the opti and the water pump right before he sold it. The interior of the car looks brand new. I am going to think heavily on this one. Might try to talk it down to 5500.

Thoughts?

 

Talk it down to $5,000 if the seller is asking $6,000. Let's see if he lets you walk away with 5 large in hand. If you really want it, do it in person, not via e/mail or phone. Good luck, and nice going doing your homework with the original owner

 

If the car in in great shape with only 53k thats a good price... people who say that they have seen them sale for 3-4k are cars that are junked and have a ton of miles. I would offer $5500 if its as good as your saying... KBB TRADE IN VALUE in excellent 5750 , good 5400 and fair 4900.... If I was the seller there is no way that i would go lower then that.. Just my opinion.. good luck

 

$5,000 is the lowest if the paint needs touch ups. $5,500-$6000 if it is mint paint and the color you want.
