news

 

Interesting link. I ran my car through the used car value calculator and it came back at $5650.00.
Interesting. I had a recent appraisel done and it valued my car at just over $21,000.00! Of coarse you hardly ever get apprasied value when selling it, but even half the appraised (which is around what I paid) is $10,500.00.
That's still double what the site came up with.

I sometimes wonder if people really just don't know what the 3rd gen market is truly worth. Especially in excellent condition. I think this market is definitly untapped. What do you guys think?

 

I agree, put my car into the autotrader car finder and saw a V6'bird with 10k mi for $12,000!!!Mine has 88kmi, near mint paid $2,600...

 

Sorry pis weren't good here's more...

 

Eh.... if I want to know what a car is worth I see what they sold for on ebay. Many people ask 2 or 3x the amount the car is worth on autotrader... not like they'll ever get it!

 

I know that as well, I was being a wiseguy!

 

Want to know what your car is worth?

Sell it.

Whatever somebody agrees to pay, and you agree to accept, that's what it's worth.

Alternatively, buy it.

Whatever you agree to pay, and they agree to accept, that's what it's worth.

The rest of that is all just PURE SPANK-OFF. It is meaningless, useless, drivel.

 

Johnblaze, you dad owns a gs vert??? I sold my 71 GS not too long ago. Got any pix of it? As for car worth, sofakingdom ur absolutely right. The cars you see on e-bay or auto-trader are the ones that DIDNT sell, if you go to sites that leave their SOLD cars on, thats a bit more realistic, but still not accurate, cuz everything can be bartered.

Cheers

 

My car is priceless to me so I dont worry about it, don't ever plan on selling it it took way to long to find

 

Ah, Sofa, you're raising practical wisdom to an artform .

cars-on-line.com is a site that leaves the sold sign up. Not sure what the car really sold for, but just saving this info will work when someone asks why you want so much for your car. You could say that's what they are selling for elsewhere!

Not sure if you guys bothered to try that original link. But it doesnt give you an option for an 8cyl camaro anywhere for third gen, it only goes back so far for model year, and it priced a berlinetta and an iroc-z for the same year at the same price...... Very useless site indeed.

 

yeah i just thought it was intresting since kbb doesnt give cars that old a "value" but i guess you guys are rite its what ever it really sells for..... and no i actully dont have any pics of my dads off hand it is in really bad condition cancer all over need a total overhaul but i wont let him sell it that is my project once a get a full time job

 

Do you know if its a real GS?? cuz you wanna make sure it is, a skylark isnt really worth putting any money into, u'll never get out of it what you put in. But the GS's keep climbing.

 

Under the Additional Options section, there is the following option:
Remove the check box for that option.

The feature was something Xoxide did months ago.

 

yeah its a real gs he ran the vin the vin on the engine block and the tranny its all legit he also found out that there where only like 700 or so made so this is truely a rare car i think he bought it in like 1980 or 79 sumttin like that

 

This is not a Buick board guys! Let's keep it on track.

 

Thanks for the link to nadaguides. I'd been wondering if I paid a sane price for my 84... and the site validated roughly what I paid this year for the car, as well as the numbers I saw floating in autotrader.com units as well as ebay 'completed auction' prices. Seems pretty accurate to me.

Someone was commenting above about not having an option to choose 'V8' on an IROC... I think the system 'knows' all IROC's had a V8 (just my theory).

 

Red90, yea i thought maybe it assumed if it wasnt those options it was just a v8, but then why does it give you 4cyl, and V6 option for an iroc??? Anywyas, doesnt make sense, and it gave me the same value for my 1985 berlinetta as it did for the 1985 fully optioned iroc.... ????

 

worth to whom? People would probably only give me 2-3k for mine. But I wouldn't give it up for 20k. It's been with me since it was born.

 

That is a little strange. But judging from what I've seen - it is actually possible that is true. Berlinettas are getting rare today just like IROC's are.

 

yeah i just checked out myself if you select the 4cyl or v6 options (at least for the base model) it will acctully deduct money from the price of your car

 

And low miles will increase the price...it gave me $500 for having 88,000 miles on my 1990
