Questioning the worth of a car.

I was with a friend who was trying to fix his 76 Oldsmobile/Cutlas, when I saw this Camaro. Immediately I was interested. Then my friend saw a "For Sale" sign. He was asking $4,800. I will give you the specks on the car:

86 Camaro in excellent condition
He had just replaced the engine, had a total of 16,000 miles on
it. The engine was an Eldelbrock 305.
This Car also has Catbacks and Headers/all Edelbrock equip.
Stickshift
The Car had a total of 116,000 miles
Only three owners
New Seats

I hope to bring him down to $3,800.

Please, all of you out there, tell me what you would pay for a car with the same specks. Thanks!

I paid $1200 for my 84 with 160-ish k miles on it. My car is a tad rusty, but was otherwise well-maintained.

What shape is the body in?

I guy I went to high school with bought a mint 86 sc last spring (2001), had 125k miles, fully loaded, I think he paid $3500, but I don't quite remember.

All in all, it depends on how much YOU want to pay for the car.

EDIT-- In hindsight, after noticing that the original poster is not from our region, I'm going to lock this now
