FEELER for 88TC Reply #2 – October 16, 2006, 12:39:07 AM I'll play, does the AC work? Any leaks or smoke? Is the bottom of your bumper cover OK and the air dam in place (it looks like it's busted from the pic)?And then there's the general inerior and paint and body questions...Not really enough info, plus it's really hard to value these cars anyway. Your mods look good and the car looks nice. Value really comes down to how much some one is willing to pay (or can afford) and how bad they want it. I've seen some really nice ones with cheap asking prices take forever to sell if at all. For instance 5.8fastcat put up a very nice 87 TC for $2900 back in Feb. I didn't see any really serious interest until Aug. On the other hand sometimes they go really quick.Personally if the body and paint are near perfect minus the front bumper damage plus the work you put into it and based on the linited info I'd say $2000 with ac and $1800 with out. Then again I'm not in the market for one so my estimate might be alot lower than someone who wants one realy bad. Quote Selected
FEELER for 88TC Reply #3 – October 16, 2006, 01:42:21 AM the A/C is not currently working but I think with a compressor it would be alright, both doors have rust under the moulding right in the middle of the door, and there is a spot on both sides right behind the rear tires. other than that the paint is pretty good.

FEELER for 88TC Reply #4 – October 16, 2006, 08:55:36 AM Uh oh, you used the "R" word. For people that live outside the rust belt that would change the "percieved" value dramatically. For someone inside the rust belt "a little" corrosion might be acceptable where as for someone like me outside the rust belt even minor surface corrosion would completely remove a car from concideration. Cars just dont corrode down here so it's easy to find older rust free cars.That being said, you could probably still get around $1500 because of your mods... Just hope you dont get a buyer like me because I'd be crawlin underneath and poking around with a screw driver. Quote Selected

FEELER for 88TC Reply #9 – October 16, 2006, 07:47:25 PM Honestly? No more than $1500. Even less since it's not running right. It's sad because TC's are worth more in parts than they are whole. Quote Selected
