Thanks for taking time to respond Bill. Sorry, it's a 4sp car with t-tops. Silver exterior black interior, factory air, power windows. I believe it's a 350 but not sure which one, I think there were maybe two different engines? Thanks again Bill......

It's perfect, showroom floor condition, interior, exterior, engine compartment, undercarriage. He's asking $16,500 which I think is very very high side. Do you know, is there like an L82 engine that was optional that might add value? I didn't get that info from the seller, I'm just trying to determine reasonable value for the car....

I always like to look at completed listings on ebay to get a general idea. Based on what i see here the price for the condition may not be absurdly high... although as you can see most of these cars didnt sell. However.. the mileage on the one you mention is quite a bit higher than a lot of these. So asking and getting are of course two different things. Take a look:

Check ebay, both active and completed listings, and someplace like autotraderclassics.com
Low mileage cars like that do not sell even close to $16,500; no way one with 130K is worth that much. I think even Bill's estimated range is a little high, but maybe that is the local market down there.

Yes, i agree. As i said... according to ebay a lot of people seem to be asking in that range but nobody seems to be getting it.
ebay does not set the bar for cars? you can use it as a base line average or judge of model value but thats it!

Thank you Craig, much appreciated. It looks like the L82 is more desirable than the L48 (if I have those right???) but I'm not sure what the differences were. This isn't a pace car but does have the 25th anniversary package. Appreciate the opinions guys..........
