34K mile, '89 IROC.
Seems like a nice car for a nice price. The painted floorpan kind of bugs me, though.

Nice car! Good price too..
Man, it’s white underneath.. at least it looks clean and rust free

I know I am always that guy that is critical of low mileage cars that have been messed with in anyway, especially if its a dealer.
The only way you get the absolute truth about vehicle condition & history from a dealer, is if your buying it brand new..... Then the only fib is about how much money they are not making on it......
Still a very nice looking car though.

That is the nicest red interior I have seen in a while. Usually those bright red interiors are hideous, just my opinion. Maybe it is the cloth as opposed to leather.

For sure! Stunning when in new condition, but the worst color when faded & worn . Chaz has a friend that had a vert I saw in person with this color scheme. it was simply amazing.

Re: 34K mile, '89 IROC.
..I usually won’t even look a a car if the hood gap looks bad. I can deal with the door/fender being a little off because that’s very common. No one knew the proper jack points on these which was one issue! Even brand some new Chevy’s have body panel alignment issues with doors. 07-14 Tahoe’s and Silverados for example all vary. I have to say German and Japanese cars I work on have perfect panel alignment and indestructible, impressive interiors..
The hood gap really changes the look of the car though.. I’ve seen some where I wondered if the hood was popped in the photos.

His was a '90 and the '90-'92 red upholstery is stunning if unfaded. BTW, my friend sold that car and it is now in California, I believe.

Re: 34K mile, '89 IROC.
This particular car looks like the nose piece is sagging, as the edges of the hood seem to align nicely with the headlight buckets.
I know this can be fixed; Detroit Speed's blue pro-touring build started with a car that had an abysmal fitting nose, and their end result has perfect panel alignment.

Re: 34K mile, '89 IROC.
One of my biggest pet peeves on these cars is a misaligned hood/bumper. The 92 Z28 heritage edition car in GM's own museum has a disastrously aligned hood.

Re: 34K mile, '89 IROC.
The iroc decal on the drivers side is aftermarket, the one on the passenger side is a factory type. Look at the letter "C"... its rounded on the drivers side and not the passenger side. Eeeesh.
Looks like the car sold for $14,500. That's strong $$ for a car with a terrible hood gap, hosed floors, etc. Good to see prices up.
