A few questions to determine based on what a consumer (me) would think. First, is the 68k ACTUAL mileage? If not, why, and what major service has been done? Do you have a Carfax available? Does the convertible top leak at all?

A picture of the right hand side to see the body work details would also help. A lot of variables could make up the price for the car.

I would probably say around $2500, I might be wrong, that is just based off of the going prices for similar models on Craigslist.

no body work on passanger side, just where the primer is on the rear drivers side, and i doubt the miles are actual, title is exempt no clue as to what service was done car was a trade in at hyundai of npr, and the top doesnt leak

and he is refering to my business partners jeep in the background.

I would get a carfax for it, make it readily available, and then depending upon what it says, start is at $2500.00 and take offers. If mileage isn't actual, it could be 168,000 miles, or who knows.

Your smoking crack. Dont listen to this dumbass. If you see that it for one has the AC removed, someone worked on the car, this is florida, convertible or not, my shit is gonna have AC. And anyone can change the instrument cluster, being its an 88, what mph does it have on the instrument cluster 85mph or 140mph? The power steering pump has been moved to where the AC is. Someone put a busted K&N filter on it. And do you really think a carfax is actualy reputable, there are so many ways around a carfax. I wouldnt pay more than 1000.00 for it based on the condition of the paint, shit Presidential Detail would charge over a thousand dollars just to clay the car to get something back into it, and your still probably talking about doing a wet sand and buff on it. I wouldnt pay shit for that car, If the body panel wasnt busted, it would be a strait vert. But you shouldnt have bought it my friend. Shouldve done some research. I wouldve turned away, but get what you can for it....
