Hello all, hope you can help me. I have an opportunity to buy a very nice 85 GSL-SE, I'll post what it has, please tell me what you think its worth. Also please indicate US or CDN with your estimate. Thanks in advance.

Never winter driven and garage stored.

Is that never winter driven or garage stored, or never winter driven but garage stored instead? ;)

I'd say for a GSL-SE, if there is truly no rust...

$3-5K (or above) or at least, that's what the owner hopes to get out of it. Of course, some of the cheaper folks here are going to say that's an $1800 car... Personally, I think they're wrong :D

The low miles add to what the owner wants and cars like that have gone for over $7K (again, USD) on ebay.

The car was garaged stored and not driven during the winters. This past summer here in Canada it was kept outside, prior to that I do not know. It originally came from the Denver area where it was assumed it was garage stored as it was owned by a collector of exotics.

I guess after 17yrs he realized that this would never be a collector.

And YES there truly is no rust.

And now in a massive conflict of interest, we have the seller with over 500 posts on this forum in this thread showing off the car :D

i told him where I posted the pictures I was wondering about the new ip hitting my site...LOL

Well, they're beautiful pics, and it's definitely a beautiful car that has been well taken care of and well-loved.

I'd say my $5-7K range USD is spot on.

So in Canadian dollars, that's between

6853.50 - 9594.90

with 6K USD being 8224.20

:D

I wouldn't pay more than $6000 CAN for ANY GSL-SE, unless is was fresh off the showroom floor.

Fresh off the showroom floor, they went for $18K... :D

IMO, I would value the car about 3k-4k. I would never pay more than 4k or so for a 1dt gen unless it had some serious engine stuff done like a monster turbo engine or something. Your car looks really nice but i think realistically to make it actually sell you would have to ask about 3500 or so. I mean you can sell stuff for really expensive but it just takes for ever.

Guys - sorry for the double thread on the same car - I didn't know this potential buyer would be using the forum for feedback. As an update, he is no longer interested due to my asking price and I'm not movin -
Evolv was gracious enough to allow me the use of his website for viewing (Thanks K).
Anyway, chances are I won't get what I'm asking (at least not this time of the year - maybe never) - problem is, once Spring hits again, I won't want to sell anyway.
BTW, interesting feedback on the price;)

Refer to my original post.

Most FB owners are cheapskates :D

(I'm not exempt from that - I like my bargains too - I just have a realism streak in me)

Good 1st gens are a bit rarer, up here in the Great White North.
Especially out west.

But for that car, I personally wouldn't pay more than $5000, asuming it's as mint as you say, and that's pushing it...

Does Manntis have another -SE yet? I remember after his got totaled he was looking for one.
