If she really wants the car out of her garage is she willing to take alot less then her asking price? Around $4K?

She is not going to give it away. What can you find in your area that is not abused, dented, rusted or not falling apart due to the roads in your neck of the woods. What is the percentage of these cars that remain stock. I have been around for a while and seen many of thse cars abused, rusted, and modified! How many are owned by 50 year old woman these day? She is willing to make a deal but not accepting a low ball number.

Thanks for the advice but as per my last posting that the price is negotiable. I believe it is priced within the NADA Guideline: Average Retail $6,500 to High Retail $8,600. I do understand the current economic times but I believe that this 86 TA is fairly priced. This car was not abused, rusted or, beaten up its whole life as most are. Most of the TA's advertised are not in good shape and the prices also indicates that.

I have a copy of old cars price guide in front of me I bought at barnes and noble, it has overall market values, not dealer sale price values that take into account warranties being provided like NADA (the national automobile dealers association)

#2 condition, which is about where a really clean but driven original car like that might fall comes up $4960...

If she comes down into that ballpark send me a pm, I'm in the market for another 3rd gen...

Thanks for inquire on the 86 TA. If your willing to deal, as I am, please PM me you phone number. As I stated before that it would be tuff to find a 86 TA in the condition this one is in. This TA will not need any work as most for sale will need.

WOW I Can't believe no one wants a mint 86 TA.

gcgarner

I think you're about $2,000 high. Maybe just $1,500. That's why nobody wants it. Nice car.

71gs3504sp

gcgarner

Thanks for the compliment! It is a great car and only a few around left that can say it still all original. This car still has the original exhaust and sparkplugs wires! The price was set between average and high but I am willing to take best offer but not giving it away.

That car is mint, I have the exact same model, not near that condition. I think 7G is a steal, your not going to find much out there in original condition that nice, its impossible to match. Engines gorgeous !!!

Kebos86

People been telling me this all the time about how clean the car is and there is not many left in this condition. I had a guy check the car out the other day and noted he can't believe how smooth the engine runs. Thanks for the kind words but I can't believe that I haven't gotten anyone on this forum interested in this car. I also belong to two other forum LS1GTO and V8Buick and if I put my cars on those forums they would be gone in a day!

It's a good looking car. I think most people are afraid to spend much money right now with the economy the way it is.

I wouldn't come down on the price anymore, that car looks immaculate.

evilhotdogg

Man if i had the money i would come get it right now. But.. Im a broke cracka.. Love the ride

C-McN

I don't see the need to argue over the price with the guy, he can try to get however much he wants for it.

That being said, I would not factor in anything taken from the NADA guide. Any reasonable 3rd Gen owner knows full well that these cars are not subject to any kind of wide-ranging value or rating system. They sell for whatever somebody is willing to pay for them. There are no such things as steals or bargains when dealing with a 3rd Gen.

Being an owner myself, also living in PA and knowing full well how ridiculous this part of the country treats old cars, I hope he sells it for the asking price. Well bought and well sold.

put the car on ebay already. it's been listed here for almost 5 months with no takers.

71gs3504sp

Thanks for you opinion but I thought that a car like this would of sold on a site that is dedicated to these cars. FYI - I have recieved many offers on the car but most of those offers want to pay almost nothing for this car! This is the reason why there is no value to these cars. If it was GN or T-Type in the same condition and year the value would be the same as the original sticker price and then some!

Nice car! I don't think it's overpriced. You might have to try to market it to a wider audience to find the right buyer though. When I was looking, had I seen an IROC in that shape I would have jumped at it without a second thought.

battmann

iTrader: (9)

you can't even begin to compare a GTA to a Grand National. that's just crazy.
put the car on ebay with a $6500 reserve. people will bid what they think it's worth and hopefully you'll sell it. if it doesn't sell at least you'll see what your ballpark asking price needs be.

spend 45.00 and advertise on carsonline.com

I have sold several cars, including my 91 GTA for premium price. I think most (not all) members here are under 25 with min funds.

good luck with the sale....

tpivette89

GNs and Ttypes are experiencing the same depreciation that all cars are right now. Corvettes too. you should see how cheap both cars are going for on their own boards (www.corvetteforum.com / www.turbobuick.com)

also, while this is a site dedicated to these cars, 99% of members here already have one and dont really need another unless the price is too good to pass up. see where im going with that?

good luck with the sale

drewdiamond

Hey, I've been looking for an IROC but will consider a TA. Just to see where I need to be, have you had any offers over 5K? Also, are the rims in decent shape or are they starting to pit?

Thanks.

71gs3504sp

Drew

Had offers of $6000 but it she need a little more. The car is that clean! The rim are in great shape. It has been garaged most of its life and never been in the rain.

IMissMy86TA

Ummm.. I am 42 and have saved up the funds. I want a black 89 5.7 with t-tops. I will only go for under 50K in miles and I plan to spend under 10K for the right car. so no, we are not all under 25 with min funds. I had an 86 but I want the 5.7 ltr with T-tops and Black and 89 was the only year for that and hence will be a collectable when I have passed on or wearing "Depends"

I am just curious if anyone that was interested in the car actually called and spoke to the owner (Linda 215-631-9283)?

If so what does she say about the car and the price? She is stuck on the $6.5K? Has anyone offered her less? And has anyone seen the car in person?

Rob

tpivette89

sounds like shes stuck on 6500

Jason92Z

Is the spoiler on that car black? I wasnt aware that any of the spoilers came black. I thought all were painted to match the car. Can you explain that please?

ROBERTDMERRILL

iTrader: (1)

I think that 1986 is the only year that the rear spolier was black regardless of the color of the car. 1987 and up they were color coded.

The 1986 spoliers usally look "flat" black to me but this one looks like its "glossy". Maybe it was replaced and repainted? They usally do crack and need to be replaced because people are lazy and lift the trunk up by the spolier.

IMissMy86TA

This is correct. They were a textured black covering over foam. They did shine when you used armor all on them and kept them nice. Fortunately for me, my 86 was black so it matched and looked better It shows she took care of it.

71gs3504sp

Yes she is stuck with $6500 firm price. I collect muscle cars and this one is extremely clean and 100% original. You can't find one that hasn't been beat to crap or with all the original parts. This one is that nice! FYI I believe that she had owned it for 4-5 years and only used it for car shows. It's never been in the rain since she owned it, always garaged and cover. It even still has the orignal exhaust system and spark plug wires.

IMissMy86TA

cool if I only wanted it! It is a nice car for nice price. I just hate white cars!

In the market, but I would hate to turn that car into my daily driver. Hope it goes to a good home.

1991Formula350

True, cheap punks on here. I have a 92 Formula 350 with 40k miles now, with the Ronals and get stupid offers. But again, I am told these cars have no value. Funny how when I am out and especially when it is just cleaned and waxed, I get people in the street asking about her and how good it looks. I am only selling because I have 2 minor children and cant drive them in it with the car seats, too small for me and my needs.

Hold on to it, dont get rid of it for less, it truly is a beautiful looking car! Andrew
