By excellent/exceptional condition I mean the underside should look almost as good as the top, the engine compartment should be clean enough to eat off of, the carpet should be the same color everywhere, with no visible wear, etc. The photos don't show that it is, but more importantly they don't show that it isn't. This also assumes that the car is in excellent exceptional condition. Rest assured, it's a niche market car, and you're going to search a long time to find a serious buyer if you put a $15k price tag in the window. You're not a dealer, we're in a recession, and the reality is that even in ideal economic conditions, it's not as easy as rolling off a log to find a buyer for a car like this. Now the kicker is that NADA usually comes out high. NADA lists the collector value of a clean 92 Z convertible with the heritage package at a low retail value of $7,675, average retail $11,000, and high retail of $16,400. The mileage and condition alone could do the same thing, but combined it's pretty clear. This is important because it raises the car above simply being a used car. True 92 is the last year, and the heritage package is commemorative, but it's mostly stickers and a couple badges which also is what makes this car unique. Add onto it the somewhat unusual Marlboro package and I think you can treat it like a 92 Z convertible with the Heritage package. You've got a fairly desirable car because it's a two year only body style, easily the most expensive version of that car for that year (1991 Z28 convertible), it's the highest performance version of that specific car, and it's in good condition. After 2 weeks of driving the Yugo, he/she will get a job and PAY YOU just to rent the 3rd gen for date night! buy the 3rd gen, park it, and get the kid a Yugo. No matter how fast a turbo can go, it'll never 'out-cool' a big-a$$ blower! The coolness of a 3rd gen never dates out - teach that child some respect and manners!īetter idea. Rice-Burners and 'Fast/Furious' is a fad at the end of it's road. Beggars can't be choosy - if dad is willing to buy a car, son/daughter should appreciate whatever he/she gets. If he doesn't like it, he can walk like mine do, right? I've got a 22 year old, a 21 year old, a 17 year old, and a 15 year old and a 14 year old - and they'd all cut off a nut (all boys) for a chance to drive my 1992 RS! When I was 16, my dad gave me an old beat up rust bucket 1972 Toy Corolla - it was never cool, but it was wheels. Given your description (sounds like it's in good shape), probably worth a fair 3rd gen price - check kbb.com - then make an offer based slightly lower than trade-in value, and see if the seller bites - you never know.Īnd just make the 16 year old drive it.
