(Not really sure if this is the correct place to post this) I am located in Westchester County, NY and am in the market for a GTA. I absolutly loved them since I was a little kid!

I need some insight. I can not figure out what the going prices are for GTA's. I found one that I really like and am intrested in purchasing.

Here is a little info on the GTA:

87 GTA
125k miles
2nd owner
Clean carfax
Mint!
White with Grey Cloth
T-Tops
Digital Dash
(Authentic Y84 SPI Label)

What price do I offer this gentlemen???

Any help or info would be greatly appreciated!

What is the engine? 350 TPI? 305 TPI (were GTAs available with the 305?)

If a 305...is it stick or auto?

Literally mint? Great paint, clean interior, clean engine bay, runs well, drives well?

With that mileage, we are looking under $5k for sure. Neighborhood for me would be in the $4k range, if truly mint, maybe even less depending on the answers to some of the questions posed above.

To answer some of the questions....

350 TPI
Auto 700R Tranny
Spectacular Paint
Very Clean Interior & exterior! No corrosion on the rims. No rust. Not driven during the winter months.
Engine is very clean. No oil leaks.

I have not driven it yet, but will soon.

Would $4500 be fair?

$4500 doesn't sound out of line to me if the car is that clean and you find that it runs and drives well.

It's hard to pinpoint a price...thirdgens have not become sought after yet, so they can be had relatively cheaply. But, for a car that clean with the 350TPI, I'd say $4500 is in the right ballpark.
