1988 Iroc 5.7

iTrader: (3)

They need to fix that VIN, it's comes back on a 2016 F150 according to the auto check listed in that lame ad.

iTrader: (4)

Sketchy ad, crazy price, wrong VIN......I mean what could go wrong?

When I'm spending that kind of money on a car I only like to have 3, maybe 4 pictures.

Any more & I'm not buying.

...bbbbBut it's a trophy winner

LT1/TA

I have seen more pictures on a $1000 listing.I guess people are thinking these cars are gold mines and only a couple of pics and a vague description all that is needed.
I does look nice though from the four pictures.

LT1/TA

She should get a Trophy if it sells for that price.

Drew

Can I award a trophy for best snarky comment?

At least the seller has an extensive selling history and feedback on eBay.

ray jr

iTrader: (2)

all these sellers are looking at the prices that vanguard motors are asking and they are thinking thats what these cars are going for .. they fail to realize vanguards irocs have been on there for a year and are not selling ..

88IROCvertZ

iTrader: (1)

Most of Vanguard’s IROCs are under 10k miles too.. and still overpriced

NoEmissions84TA

iTrader: (1)

My guess is she is looking at retirement, and when she didn't win big at the church BINGO, she figured she would "cash in" by selling her trophy-winning IROC.

ray jr

iTrader: (2)

everyone hurry over to ebay .. price is down to 29,500 .. could be yours today

Greg '85 T/A

Hey all -

We had to pay over 13% on our car loans back then. We have to recoup that somehow!

butchc

Maybe she comes with it??? LOL, I always wonder WHY people put themselves in the pictures of items they are trying to sell, but so do I wonder why the realestate agents do the same thing???? Maybe its just me?? Why am I commenting here?? I'm gone,,,

ray jr

iTrader: (2)

down to 24,900 !! steal of the day

88IROCvertZ

iTrader: (1)

I will say.. It seems like a nice, low mile IROC goes for more than a C4 these days..

Never thought that would happen back in the 90s..

ray jr

iTrader: (2)

c4 vettes are horrible and are worth nothing .. right now these people want 24,900 for there 100k iroc .. the problem is for that price you can buy a 4k mile 92 5.7 z28 or a 89 iroc with a 5.7 with 17k miles for 18,000 .. there way off

88IROCvertZ

iTrader: (1)

Yeah these people are ridiculous.. they must be looking at Vanguard Motors pricing who are also ridiculous.

I was just pointing out I never thought C4s would go for less money than IROCs.. it’s funny because there’s a lot of C4 creampuffs out there that were bought and babied in the 90s so there’s a high inventory of nice C4s and no one wants them. Meanwhile nice IROCs are harder to find and worth more money..

Joke is on those Vette guys from the 90s that looked down on thirdgens.. ha ha

dmccain

iTrader: (2)

C4s are a good buy right now at the prices they are going for. C3s looked great but are horrendous to drive and slower than Christmas. I used to outrun them in a LG4 Formula. Atleast the C4s are decent performers and while they have lil issues that plague them you can find em in nice low mileage examples and they are enjoyable to drive.

Drew

iTrader: (58)

Have you ever laid eyes on a trailer park fresh 84 Vette? LOL And you thought thirdgens could be trashed and tacky.

flippermtc

iTrader: (1)

Late model C4's are a terrific value & with the LT-1 motor provide excellent performance. Stylish, affordable & if taken care of very reliable.

dmccain

iTrader: (2)

Lol. Well 84s were trashed because of the Cease Fire Injection engine in them that was replaced by the much better TPI debut in 85. Maybe that's why the 84s were trashed and not liked.

turd_gen

The Doug Nash 4+3 manual is also a joke for a sports car. Once they switched to the ZF 6-speed, they became pretty desirable cars.

1MeanZ

iTrader: (9)

Have you driven one? The 4+3 trans is not that bad if maintained properly. I actually don't mind them at all. The 4+3 is 20582349823 times better than ANY 700R4/4L60e... Automatics suck...

88IROCvertZ

iTrader: (1)

I have actually thought about scooping up a C4.. especially if a nice LT4 pops up.. every once in a while you’ll find a 1996 Collectors Edition or even some plain looking C4s that were ordered with the Grand Sport motor.. can find them for under $15k with low miles too..

dmccain

iTrader: (2)

If I find a good example with a manual tranny I'm going to get one. Almost bought an 85 but it didn't have a/c and needed too much work I knew I didn't have time to fool with. My uncle picked up a nice Grand Sport for like 8500. Lucky dog.

Drew

iTrader: (58)

This is blasphemy. I already get "Nice Corvette" too often when I drive the Formula. Maybe when my hair turns silver and I lack the strength to push the accelerator pedal past 2K RPM I'll understand the draw of the Vette.

chazman

iTrader: (4)

Two more days until the next price drop!

ray jr

iTrader: (2)

how low will they have to go before it sells

chazman

iTrader: (4)

$9K?

ray jr

iTrader: (2)

honest question , would you pay 9k a 100k mile iroc ?

chazman

iTrader: (4)

Boy, it would have to be something super special.

Would I buy this one for 9K? No.

1MeanZ

iTrader: (9)

I'm kinda surprised by that, because I feel like the market is getting to a point where it might bear a price like that for a car in good condition. 2 summers ago I sold an 88 IROC BADLY in need of paint. Interior was OK, clean but needed seat covers. Car was perfectly rust free, had a 400hp 355 with a super ram and T5 with a PBR disc rear with a tight posi and 3.73 gears. The first guy that saw it paid $7k for it on the spot and was happy as a clam. I've kept in touch with him and 2yrs later he's STILL happy about his purchase. You could argue that I didn't have it priced high enough.

I think a clean, well maintained car that needs nothing mechanical might bring these higher amounts, especially 350 or LB9/T5 cars. If the low mile virgins are bringing high teens to low 20s, then why can't a clean higher mileage example bring half that?

chazman

iTrader: (4)

It's a nice car and all, Jeremy. At least by the few pics she posted. I am a bit distracted by the upside down stripes and aftermarket turn signal lamps though. Makes you wonder what a closer look would reveal.

The problem is that so many low mile cars are out there. Someone will pay 9K. But I'd rather pay $9K for an untouched car with 50K-75K miles.

ray jr

iTrader: (2)

i agree , there are a lot of good deals that i come across all the time for original third gens .. there out there .. its not like the grand national sellers where there all high and you cant find a good deal on them ..

ray jr

iTrader: (2)

sounds like somebody wanted your car because of the motor .. i few years ago i bought a mint low mileage 87 5.7 iroc for 5800.00 and its still sitting in my shop .. you say the low mileage virgins are bringing high teens to low 20's but i can find them for low teens all year long ..

chazman

iTrader: (4)

True. I've been actually looking for Grand Nationals and T-Type Regals.

Anything under 15K is high miles, (like 125-150K miles), or needing lots of work with mystery motor rebuilds.

A friend recently bought an unmolested '87 GN with about 100K miles for under $10K. But that was a friend of a friend deal.

Abubaca

iTrader: (3)

Keep in mind that if you found a 2010 SS Camaro with 100k, you'd say that was about right. This is an 89. 3 times older than the 2010 and it has the same miles. Not gettin' nit picky, but it was probably well cared for. There are a few things that catch my attention, but in general, I'd pay about 10k for a 30 year old car like this., -generally speaking. There are several cars I've seen in the past few months that I've considered, and they're all about $7500 to $10k, and mileage all about 75k to 100k.

...I've also considered a LT 1/4 c4, as well as a T-type. ....but then....I also want to LS swap an early 80s 2 door Malibu, so take all that with a grain of sale, lol!

Drew

iTrader: (58)

I don't think the mileage is as much of an issue as the way the car in question just doesn't blow my skirt up... I have trouble getting excited about a White Iroc. Same with the ubiquitous Red Iroc. Now make that a Metallic Red, Met. Blue, Met. Gray, and we can talk.

Besides, we're getting hung up on if's and butt's. Hypothetically this car will get down to $9k around the time the Yellowstone Caldera blows us all to hell.

chazman

iTrader: (4)

It's coming down fast! Next listing in about a day will be $19,500, I'd expect.

PurelyPMD

iTrader: (3)

I've always wanted a GN too!

chazman

iTrader: (4)

I was wrong! I figured they'd drop the price 5 grand when they relisted. Still at $24,900.

chazman

iTrader: (4)

I'd even consider a T-Type or Limited, but a GN would be ideal.
