My New '89 Iroc
I just bought this '89 Iroc Z28. It's a 350 TPI car, all original with 13k miles and still has the factory ZR50's on it. I'm excited to have found this car in its present condition and with this particular powertrain. The paint color and interior were exactly what I was looking for as well. The carfax and documentation all checked out and they verify past ownership and current mileage. The last third gen I owned ('82 Z28) was in the late 80's, so this one was long overdue. The car will ship this week and I hope to have it on Wednesday.

So nice! What a bargain for that car. BTW, that's the car we've been talking about on FB, right?

Re: My New '89 Iroc
He also sent a a detailed diary of the car's use. He had an entry for each time he drove the car! Each entry lists the current mileage on that day, the date, the distance driven and his destination. Pretty cool!

Re: My New '89 Iroc
Gorgeous car, good for you! I think it was a bargain, it will make you $$ should you decide to sell it down the road. Great score.

Re: My New '89 Iroc
Great car! This is one of those finds that you usually see on Speed rolling across the stage at Barrett Jackson. You got a real steal for that price because you know it was well taken care of. (Original brochures and documented use)

Re: My New '89 Iroc
Yes it did. We negotiated a price but before I could get the seller a deposit he changed his mind and decided he wanted full asking price. Apparently someone else had offered him the full asking price for the car following our negotiations. I told him I understood (since no money had been exchanged) and that my offer stood and that he should call me back if HIS deal didn't work out. One week later my phone rang and he agreed to the original negotiated price. His other deal did not work out according to him. You have no idea how many times I wanted to pick up my phone during that long week and offer him the full asking price, lol. Anyway it worked out and I can't blame him for wanting to get as much as he could for this car, it's worth it. The seller turned out to be a really nice guy and we have exchanged many emails regarding the car this past week.
