If I were you I'd stay away from 80's vettes, unless it has really low miles and is in mint condition. Those cars only last about 100K before things starting going wrong, and everyone in town would charge twice to work on it than other cars. Also unless your 5 feet tall, the cars are hard to drive and get in and out of. I'm 6'1" and I can't comfortably drive the older vettes, because they are not designed for tall people.

I'm not a very tall person so that wouldn't be much of an obstacle. The only thing with that is I would need something to drive in the winter. Anyone have anything under 300?

Wonder if this guy would trade me? lol

Not to be a dick, but you might as well list it at those other places now because i would bet my right nut that this won't sell to anyone on this site unless it happens to go ridicoulously cheap for a beater or something. People on this site aren't into cars like that except for as a winter/dd and they would only buy it if it were super cheap, sorry.

Oh and mods can edit/delete this if they find it unnecessary, im just putting out some info that i think is true.

Blue Book Private Party Value
Private Party Value is what a buyer can expect to pay when buying a used car from a private party. The Private Party Value assumes the vehicle is sold "As Is" and carries no warranty (other than the continuing factory warranty). The final sale price may vary depending on the vehicle's actual condition and local market conditions. This value may also be used to derive Fair Market Value for insurance and vehicle donation purposes.
Vehicle Condition Ratings Check Vehicle Title History Excellent
$5,865

"Excellent" condition means that the vehicle looks new, is in excellent mechanical condition and needs no reconditioning. This vehicle has never had any paint or body work and is free of rust. The vehicle has a clean title history and will pass a smog and safety inspection. The engine compartment is clean, with no fluid leaks and is free of any wear or visible defects. The vehicle also has complete and verifiable service records. Less than 5% of all used vehicles fall into this category.
Good
$5,410

"Good" condition means that the vehicle is free of any major defects. This vehicle has a clean title history, the paint, body and interior have only minor (if any) blemishes, and there are no major mechanical problems. There should be little or no rust on this vehicle. The tires match and have substantial tread wear left. A "good" vehicle will need some reconditioning to be sold at retail. Most consumer owned vehicles fall into this category.
Fair
$4,835

"Fair" condition means that the vehicle has some mechanical or cosmetic defects and needs servicing but is still in reasonable running condition. This vehicle has a clean title history, the paint, body and/or interior need work performed by a professional. The tires may need to be replaced. There may be some repairable rust damage.
Poor
N/A

"Poor" condition means that the vehicle has severe mechanical and/or cosmetic defects and is in poor running condition. The vehicle may have problems that cannot be readily fixed such as a damaged frame or a rusted-through body. A vehicle with a branded title (salvage, flood, etc.) or unsubstantiated mileage is considered "poor." A vehicle in poor condition may require an independent appraisal to determine its value. Kelley Blue Book does not attempt to report a value on a "poor" vehicle because the value of cars in this category varies greatly.

There you go. Put in like the best of everything.
