$32k for a 5.0 iroc? Maybe $20k to $22k n today's world. With the 5.7 possibly $32k

Re: 2,300 MILE 1989 IROC-Z

Somebody was crazy to pay 17.6k for that new. A base iroc with just a interior upgrade over base. Base wheels, rear drums, no power options except hatch release. You could of got a loaded out T/A for around that. I dont think it's even a 20k car, 15k max but thats just me.

Why they even did the wheels in 15” at all is beyond me.

The 5.7 engine is not worth an extra $10,000. A super low mile, cherry condition TPI 305 car will bring just as much as a 5.7 car if they are optioned the same otherwise. The non TPI cars take a HUGE hit.

What kills this car is just the option package itself.....or lack thereof, I should say.

Another of those dealers that seem to "collect" cars, not sell them. I see so many cars for sale FOREVER without a price reduction. Makes me wonder if some are cooking meth in the back room to keep the lights lit.

That's a cool car. But I think 20-25K is more like it. Me personally, if I were looking to buy, I'd be at $12 -$15K. Luckily for the market, there are bigger spenders than me out there.

I'm right with ya, Charlie. It's definitely not the car I would ever search for, but I'd probably be a player in that same $12-15 range...
