Was this car worth 5k?

Unfortunately, I don't have pictures, but let me know what you guys think this car is worth. A friend of mine just bought it for 5k, and I thought it was a good deal. It's an 89 IROC w/ a 350 TPI, 68k miles, red w/ mint black interior, gold iroc decals and rims, ttops, fully loaded, including bose sound system, nice security alarm, aftermarket panhard bar and LCAs, it's 100% rust free with nearly perfect original paint job and perfect undercarriage, the stock rear was 2.73 posi, and was replaced with 3.70 posi, and the car still has the PBR set up. The car also comes with a b&m shift kit and flowmaster exhaust that aren't installed, as well as 6 extra used tires. All the car really needs is a tune up. What do you all think?

In a word YES.

I FEEL this was an outstanding kill.
I paid about that for mine 1989 iroc loaded, ttop, but stock 4 years ago..... with 98,000 miles.
Nice kill, the big question is did you get 5000 dollars worth of $hit eatin' grins

Yeah I'd say this was a steal too. My iroc was cheaper, but its a 305 with more miles and the interior was rough, paint is badly faded... I would have gladly paid more for a mint car. to your friend

Good deal, nice find. Worth it? Yes as long as it doesn't blow up on you in the next 6 mo.
