Is 2900 a good price for an 85 iroc that needs some minor work, how can you tell if the car is realy an iroc or not. Thanks for all the help I used to be a mopar man so I dont know to much camaro stuff.

 

check rpo codes umm not positive but off the top of my head i think the rpo for an iroc is b4z but don't hold me to it

 

2900 seems a bit pricey to me for an '85. how many miles and what kind of "minor work".

 

Going to see the car tomorrow, Acording to the seller the body is good but the paint is faded, milage uncertain because when he bought it, it had the wrong engine in it so he replaced it with the correct stlye.

 

it already doesn't sound like it's worth 2900$

 

Get every thing checked out find as many things wrong with it as you can, point them out to him then start talking them down.

 

there was a red 86 Z 305TPI auto i went and looked at, it was super clean and the guy wanted 1600 so you should definitely be able to talk him down. good luck and glad you got away from Mopar. CHEVY RULES

 

Bought my 86 IROC 350 for $500! Needed new paint and exhaust. Bought it in 97. So yeah price can go down.

 

One thing that you're going to learn quickly when you hang out here (or any other car site) is that every single person has a different idea of what constitutes "nice" and what translates into a good price. I've seen it a thousand times. People jump up and down on somebody else for paying X amount of dollars and brag about how their car was only 1/2 the cost. Then you actually see the car in person and realize that what they have is only 1/10 as nice.

Geographic location also makes a big difference. Solid thirdgens are a dime a dozen in the south. Up here in the Rust Belt, they are becoming VERY hard to find at a reasonable price. I see that you don't have a location listed, but if you're up north where good solid rust-free bodies are getting hard to find, you're going to have to expect to pay more.

That being said, $2900 for an 85 that needs paint doesn't really sound like a bargain. Considering that it needs paint, you don't know the milage, and it's not even the original motor, there's no telling what the hell you're getting. I would say that you're probably better off waiting unless you find that this car is in really good shape other than the paint.

Must have not been the Org Engine in it.

As for the other guy the Iroc package was B4Zthere were over 21k made that year.

 

I have to agree with you there. in 2001 when I bought my 87 Iroc for $4500 everyone thought I was ripped off. but now I see them selling for well over 10k again.

 

That price seems really steep. I got an 89 Firebird with 100K miles and loaded (10 CD changer) for $750 becuase it needed repair on the left fender and front and rear bumper. Cost me $700 for all the body repair, now it runs and looks like new.

 

Like Krazzycowgirl said it really does depend on location. I'll find you a steal on an IROC in Jersey in 3-4 minutes. Near my house in PA, 3rd gens are usually steep, with the biggest joke latley being a 90' camaro RS with 160,000 miles on it in terible shape dented up and mangled interior for 3,000, i laughed in the guys face, About 20 miles from hear you can get a deal on a 3rd gen that is bearly used if you can find one. Recently they had a 92 Z-28 convertable with 23,000 miles on it one of 1250.
