Trying to buy an '88 SS with t-tops, full power, etc. Car as 125,000 miles on it, and is in "good" condition. Not perfect. He wants $6,800 I say it's worth $6,000. What do you guys think a fair price is. All original.

 

That's about the going rate for one these days if it's in good condition. I would seriously question that $$$$ with it having 125K though... Have you seen it in person?

 

I have not seen it in person. However I would not buy it until I am able to. It's about a 4 hour drive from me, so I don't want to waste my time until we can get a fair price agreed upon. I'm waiting for him to get me some more pics of the car as well.

I'm looking for a straight car. Future plans include and engine swap, so that's not a huge concern for me.

But I see other '88 Montes going for around $5k or so on Ebay that are in pretty good condition. So I'm not sure what to offer him.

 

I would jump off at 5K and see what happens.. Most people when they sell a used car are asking for more than they think they will end up getting.

 

Got the pics. Car looks great, except it's a bench seat. I need the shifter on the console. I want to build a street rod. And so the search continues....

Yeah I was gonna start at $5k. This will be my 3rd Monte, so I'm pretty good at getting the right value, but it's just been a few years since I've looked. Wanted to make sure I wasn't too far off base. Thanks for your help.

 

well lets see i bought my 1st 88 and it had about the same miles on it. even if the thing was mint they only sell for 5000 no more than that. if hes selling it for 6000 walk away not worth it man i had 2 88s
