I know of a low mileage 85 Camaro Z/28 Iroc-Z close to me and
i am wondering what a good ball park idea of the value might be,
it has the 305 LB9 /Auto / T-Top's
Am/Fm Cassette w/equalizer
Power Drivers seat
Tilt / Air / Cruise
less than 25 k on the odometer
mint interior and original paint ~
needs the heater core replaced and a/c fixed....
any thoughts are appreciated..... Dw ~

 

A low mileage car like that would probably be worth at least $7500. Most cars I seen in the 25k to 35k mile range are selling for over $10,000.

 

Welcome!

It's hard to give you a $$$ value because low mileage can be interpreted two ways. With that low of mileage, what has the car been doing all this time? Depending how it's been treated and maintained, low mileage could be a good thing or bad.

If it's been well treated, stored indoors out of the sun, well maintained and still regularly serviced then it could be anywhere from $7K - $10K.

If it's been neglected, raced or abused, sat exposed outside, not serviced, fluids still not changed regularly, had an accident (repairs may hide some evidence), odometer not confirmed as to have not rolled over (if it's the American gauge package), etc, then it's value would be much less.

I'd be a little concerned regarding the heater core. It might not be a big deal or the case here, but heater core failure is promoted by neglecting to periodically change out the coolant fluid. Overtime, the protection additives in coolant deteriorate and this can accellerate corrosion damage.
Now, it might also be simply the heater core's time to die, but if I was the potential customer, it would make me look a little deeper. Things like, has the servicing been done? If not, why not? What else might have been ignored? How's the rad? Stuff like that.

I'd also put it on a lift and look underneath. If there's ever been an accident, there's usually tell tale signs. Better yet, if possible, bring it to a trusted mechanic of your choice for a closer look.
And see if the owner has any documentation, records, receipts, etc. This can also help with it's history, condition, and value.

Good luck.

 

I recently replaced my heater core and hoses on my 87 because my dad's 82 Pace Car with 28k miles decided to let loose. His car is very well maintained and is a multi show winner. His car looks so good and is so well maintained, that in 2002, Chevy asked him to park his car with the Camaro Pace Cars in front of the Legends Trailer at a show. They removed the actual 82 Pace Car so his could be on display there. I wouldn't say the heater core was neglected as it just decided to go.

 

Very nice ride. Yeah, good example that they sometimes do that. I agree as I mentioned . . . As our rides get older, time itself can be the greatest factor. And just to make sure that that's the case when buying a car, it's always a good idea to check on these things. They could be nothing or a sign of something greater.

 

the car was garaged. and wasnt driven for periods of time....

could have happened even if it had been driven.. ~
