How much for it

I have owned my first gen 7 for about 9 months now. The other day i blew an apex seal so i gotta get somethin to drive until i can rebuild. I was told of an 87 GXL N/A with a 5 spd manual. The guy that owns it has owned it for a few weeks, but wants to get a camaro. He said the body is in great condition other htan a few bublesa on the sun roof. He said the car was repaint, rattle can style. It also has 200k on the odometer, but he said he thinks the engine was rebuilt, or changed. Siad the itnerrior was also nice, but needed minor work. How much would u say the car is worht. No pics sorry. He doesnt have any to send so you kno exactly what i do.

Get a compression check done on it. If he cant prove that the motor was rebuilt then i'd offer him like 700 bucks mabey.

Sounds like a $200-500 special to me.

"Rattle can style painting"??? Just imagine what else he's rigged... if it runs, not more than $200!

Like Runningdeer said, somewhere around $200 and not much over that. He shouldn't expect a small fortune for a car he hasn't taken care of.
