autotrader.com - thats also how I bought mine, searched the site daily until one appeared that just arrived...decided to buy a car 100 miles away I hadn't seen in person.....best decision I ever made.

I just bought a 98 navy blue metallic Z28, 6spd, leather, T's, all stock unmolested, with 61500 mi on it. I paid $10900. Don't know if I got a hell of a deal or not. I talked them down from almost $12K at a used dealership, plus had them do a bumper to bumper detail. But they didn't fill my gas tank. what cheap a$$es.

its common sense if the car is no longer made and there is still a demand for them they can pretty much charge what they want. cause if you want it bad enough your going to pay it. the ones in high demand are 1993-2002 because of the body style. and most likey prices will be at a stand still or rising for are cars cause right now american sports cars are popular.

kbb is just a guide for price, like others are saying the trader and public set the demand and the actual price.

Heck, nice,clean looking 3rd Gen's are going for around 5,000 grand up here! I bought my old 89 IROC for 3,900. Some low mileage IROC's I've seen go for 7-9,000 dollars!

roughly 10% of production Z's were 6-speeds and probably 60-70% of that 10% are cars that have been wrecked or had the crap beat out of. Not many people get a 6 speed because they cant afford the auto... they a get a 6 speed to use it like a 6 speed. I paid 9k for my 95z... because I had been looking forever. The car was optioned perfectly, exactly what I wanted, and very well cared for (a big thing in MI) so I didnt hesitate to make my move. I have not regretted it one bit, although it would be nice not have to pay off the $1500 I still owe on it.

Hmmm, it seems that everybody else is trying to rip you off and you're just trying to pay a fair price. On the other hand, it probably wouldn't bother you nearly as much if you were selling and not looking to buy.
It's called supply and demand.
Personally, I think its nice to see that these cars are holding their value as well as they are.

who goes by those books anyways? If i want to know how much a car is worth i look on autotrader, you get a realistic idea, what cars are actually selling for, not what they "should be" selling for.
