Is this car worth the money?

I'm not sure where to actually make this post so i'm just gonna stick it here. Its an 88 Trans AM GTA w/ 34k miles. The ad is in the link:

I'm probably gonna go look at it this weekend cause its really nice and i'm looking for a new car. I'm worried that the price may be alittle high, so if you guys could give me your advice,i'd appreciate it. Thanx

i like it, does seem a tad steep though, if you can get them down some it would be better, 6 or even 7000 would be acceptable IMO

i think that its worth a little under 8K, although if its what you want don't let it pass you bye, it has a small amount of miles

I bought my 92 Z28 with 49,xxx for $7500

if its MINT, take it, try to get them down, but dont expect less than $8500, you dont find very many MINT GTA's or Z28's with 350's in them anymore, specially with really low miles...

If it helps, I just bought same car in Black, with 21,000 miles for $8,000. Dealers like cash and want to sell a car as bad as you want to buy it. Just play it cool, if the salesman sees you drooling on yourself when you see car, he's gonna know he stick to a higher price. Don't be afraid to low ball them and kick tires. Check every little detail of car. Find some room for negotiation whether the car needs a simple tune or tires try to work that to your advantage. Good luck. I am on my 2nd GTA and I love them!

Great looking ride. Got one just like it but with 120 on it, however very clean. I agree dealers like cash, I would be willing to bet you could probably pick that up for about 7500.00 cash.
did they take the black WS6 center caps off, or are they just missing? Either way, that is a sweet ride ride. Also at 8900 and assuming it was a trade in, they probably only have max about 4000 in it. Go for it! You wont be sorry you did.
