I know it's an RS, but it's a creampuff.

#triggered Seatbelt guides are on backwards.

Wonder how clear the Lexan t-tops are?

I mean.. It looks damn good.. the red rims are cool.. interior is really nice..

I bet it’ll go pretty cheap.. RS Camaros don’s seem to get lots of bidding..

It's not a good year for the RS either. If it were a 91-92 it'd have grid tails, the better gfx, and probably the F41 suspension with the V8. The 90 up dash is fancier too... Makes the earlier RS seem more like the churched up base model it is.

Ive saw several like that around here over the years and I like the color combo. That is a great looking car RS or not id love to have it.

Looks stupid ridiculous nice, but that's still very strong money for an '89 RS with 90K. Good to see!

It started at $1,000 with no reserve. Someone must think it's worth $6k.

IMO, if it's a nice as it look in the pics and underside is clean, I think it will go much higher then $6K....

That interior is so nice. First dove gray interior that I can say actually looks really nice. My '89 has that color and until now I wanted a full color change to black. I can finally see why that color was so popular. It gives me hope to keep it original color.

A lot of funny things happen on eBay. But I've also found it to be a good way to sell a car, due to the huge audience.

And although I've bought a couple of cars off of CL, I've never sold one. Just tire kickers and scammers.

Re: I know it's an RS, but it's a creampuff.

CL is for the under $5k crowd. I've done well there, selling a few... However, eBay is good for exposure on the bigger scale, and I've sold 4 cars from the site, but after the auction/listings ended. Only one sold through the site, and the guy was local. Go figure.

Re: I know it's an RS, but it's a creampuff.

I really like the body-colored wheels and white letter tires... the 91-92 RS bodied cars have always been my favorite styling wise.
