I am looking for some feedback on a purchase I just made. I just bought the car in the links photos for $7,000. I am just curious if you guys think it is an ok price. I don't think it's a screaming deal, but I think it's fair. I wanted a clean, low mileage 86 (my first camaro was an 86) that I would not have to put any work into. I plan on keeping this thing forever and I didn't want to worry about paint/rust.

It has 55k on it and it is loaded with every option besides leather that was available in 1986. It has a custom stereo and speakers along with a custom box in the trunk. Even had the original leather t-top bag. Outside of the stereo and the distributor cap/coil everything is original. I also wanted it to be reasonably close to me. It wouldn't make sense to drive across the country to save a grand, for me anyway..... Let me know! Thanks.....

 

I personally would not have spent that much money on an 86 but if the car runs as good as it looks you'll probably get a lot of years out of it.

 

I wouldn't have paid that much, but I have to admit, it is THE NICEST 86 I have ever seen. Its nicer than my friend's 86 IROC was back in 1992! I remember!

If this is your "forever" car, then you didn't get scammed at all. You are super happy with it and you like it loads more than the 7 grand cash.

Seems like you got a good deal.

 

It looks great! If you feel good about the purchase, that's what matters.

 

Looks great! I love 3rd gen camaros so I bought one again. Had an 84 Z28 sold it then couldnt sleep right since lol. Now I can sleep at night!! Nice car no matter the price.

 

Nice car, leather seats were not available till 87. Just thought i would throw that out. Good luck with it.

 

trust me when i tell you , you did good at 7,000 for a nice original iroc ..theres not many left at that price for that condition and you dont have to fool around trying to find nice parts to rebuild it ... good buy !!

 

Very nice, Any of you that think 7k is too much for that car have not seen what is out there lately. What I see is that car basically needs nothing. And to get a car in that condition for that price and 25 years old to top it off is an amazing deal. It costs double that to restore one.

 

It needs nothing at all. Maybe a little tuning, it seems a bit sluggish but it will have to wait till the snow and slat is off the roads this spring. It is killing me seeing this sit in my garage knowing I can not drive it for at least another 3 months if I am lucky! By the way, thanks for the help, this seems to be a great site for gathering information on these cars!
