Re: Help Please!... Value for MINT...'91 TA CONV

Hey i would love to have that car, sounds really clean especially blk/blk. I seen one very similiar IROC in LA, guy was asking 9k. Dont think he got that, but it was gone pretty quick. I say offer him 6K. If he accepts, have the cash, sign the pink, and burn rubber outta there!!!

If it is truly show quality with absolutely nothing wrong... $10K easy (especially if it has a 5 speed)... 40K is lower miles..

There is a HUGE gap between really nice cars and your run-of-the-mill cars that were just cars... You are always far ahead to get a car done and you have to do nothing to it...

Re: Help Please!... Value for MINT...'91 TA CONV

Agreed with John. If the seller were to do any at all research, he would find that a 91-92 TA Vert in any kind of decent shape is automatically worth almost twice as much as a non vert car. You would be hard pressed to find a sub 50K 91-92 TA Vert in as nice a condition as you describe for less than 10K. And it's been this way for a while now, in a good market and in this market.

What you should offer is totally up to you, you know the guy and the money you have to spend. The car sounds really nice and we'd like some pics.

All we can do is tell you what is should be selling for. $10+K.

Good luck!

RPM is correct,
The rule of thumb is typically a Vert sells for about 1.5x to 2x of an equally equipped coupe...
