I bought a vette off ebay...read before you bash

[speadfreak]

I bought this car off ebay, because it wasn't far away and I got it for the starting bid. I didn't think I would win, but nobody else bid. Take a look at the add, then look at the pics of after the $60 detail job.

actually only kept it for 2 day and my brother bought it off me for what I have in it. He is the one who originally talked me into buying it. He'll probably just sell it for more money, but I'm not out anything. I thought the car felt very underpowered, but I was amazed at the way that it handled. This 1987 chevrolet, by far, would out handle even the best handling mustang that I've ever ridden in. Cool car.....just not my thing.....I'm sure most here would agree. I just couldn't believe how good it cleaned up.

i was offered a 88 auto straight up trade for mine... i didnt take it because it was a auto and had 138,000 miles on it... was gonna sell it to get me another 5.0 thats a 5 speed but i wanted mine!


very nice tho... at least you got back what you put in!

I think you could have gotten more! What do I know about Vettes though? Nuttin'.

Just when people were beginning to the Fox Mustang has an outdated interior, that thing makes my eyes hurt. The digital tach would drive me nuts!!!

you got a good deal, my father has a 90 auto with about the same miles, car is mint and i know he wouldnt let it go for a dime under 16,500.

Hopefully you drove the snot out of it first? Always good to study the enemy.

really.....i saw it on ebay and it only had a few minutes left. I thought for sure that somebody would swoop in the last few seconds and outbid me. I didn't really beat on it, because, honestly I felt very uncomfortable in the car. It's like your sitting in this little capsule. I figured if I didn't like it........there are like a million older guys out there that you always here say....."I'm gonna buy me a vette before I die", so I was quit sure I would get my money back out of it. I would have a real hard time dropping 6k in parts for the stang, but this was a complete car....and a clean one at that.

side note...........most women dont know the difference between a C4,C5,C6, or C93756Xj2. They just see a red Corvette....I've had a couple pretty nice mustangs and never turned heads like driving this 10 yr old Chivy.

could have gotten a lot more power out of that thing with a few upgrades. Good catch though. Glad to hear you got your money back out of it.

So what does a Vette like that actually book for? I mean... what's a fair market price for one?

Everyone keeps saying that they're glad you got your money back out of it but it seemed like it was in great shape and that you might have gotten more with an outright sale. Is that the case? I really don't konw because I've never priced one.

I think it bluebooks for right around what I paid for it, but my 90 notch bluebooks for about 6k less than what I would sell it for....... . I guess my brother is gonna sell it and try to make some $$, he called and asked if I cared..........I don't care, I'm not out anything...more power to him.
