$2500-$5000 depending on condition. They vary greatly, and it always seems that someones idea of "mint" is always different then someone else

green at purchasing a older sports car but I'm not stupid.

Seems overpriced. If you can't find em up where you are, just try and find one around here. $5000 can usually get you a pretty nice one.

Judging by the "fading" above the gold rocker panel, this could very well be the original paint. As for it being original - are you worried that it isn't a real Trans Am? There were over 40,000 Trans Ams made in 85.

120,000 miles or did you convert it to km's??? If that 120,000 is infact miles, then it is way over priced!! That is 192,000 km's. Even if the car is absolutely spotless and all original, with that kind of milage it is only worth around $4 - 5000 tops! If that even...
