Are you sure this car is a '95??? Why doesnt it have the hise rise spoiler? I thought all '95 TA's got the high-rise, I know that the 94's had the regular spoiler unless it was a GT model. Just curious.

Would your dad consider trades?? I have a sharp '91 TA in the sig if he's interested. Let me know.

 

Most people agree that the "rebuild Kits" are junk, and most agree that If you going to pull the front end of the motor apart to get to the Opti, then you might as well replace it.

Further more Many Optis have crapped out well before the kind of miles he has.
I agree 100% with LREFLYBYOU, if you're there, do it right the first time...

As far as a price goes, the LT1 cars aren't worth a whole lot, and they are losing value each day. I have a 95 Z28 that has 59,000 on the clock now, and runs Perfect, no leaks, no issues, bright paint, new tires, etc... I would be very surprised if I could get over 6 ~ 6.5 K from it.

So considering he has to atleast pull the top end, most likely have the heads machined, and then make sure the rest of the cooling system isn't messed up, Possibly have a total rebuild, I think that the original offer is fair...


Here is what I found from www.kbb.com, I selected Fair Value:
Private Party Value $5,610


Now subtract from that the time and money he is going to have to throw at it to get it to run right....

 

Thanks a lot to everybody for the replies, we are listening to offers so if anybody has one just let me know, thanks again.
