Good deal or not...

Sorry mods..I dont know where to post this so please move to proper board.

I have found a 95 TA for sale that I am debating on buying. It's dark green (OK color IMO), 6 spd, ram air hood (not WS6), chrome rims, t-tops, leather, spintech exhaust, 53K, bumper-to-bumper 3 year/40,000 mile warranty left on it, I would be third owner.

First was a doctor who babied it up to 32K, then 2nd owner is a buddy that has put 21K on it. He wants $8900 for it...is that a good deal?

KBB says $8700, but thats w/o warranty and exhaust.

NADA says $14000 high retail w/o exhaust or warranty.

Pretty good deal, especially for 53k on the odo. Thats about the going rate for an LT1 car. Take a look if the pinion seal is leaking, and reach back behind the intake manifold to see if its leaking. I'd be more worried about the pinion seal.

If it drives fine, and you like it. I say go for it.

that not a bad price at all. 95 T/A are one of the best years to mod too so thats a plus.

very minor scratch about a foot long on front fender that he will have fixed before selling. I have known this guy for a long time so I trust his knowledge. I was there the day he brought it home with 32K on it.

Well I got it! Very nice. First thing to do is fix the headlight motors by reversing the gears. Also have a Hurst shifter and handle on the way! More pics and info here:
