Is this corvette worth $7500

[Dizz28]

This was the first info he gave me. How much would a performance chip bring up the horse power? I talked him down to $6800 and I was thinking I could resell it quickly for 7500

87 convertible. Red/white top. New Corvette Z06 rims w/ new tires. Red
leather interior. Alpine stereo. Performance chip. Dynomax flow-thru
exhaust. 5 speed automatic. $9500 obo.

Chip would give it 30hp max...same with the exhaust

If your buying it to flip it i wouldn't.

A chip maybe adds 10-15hp. Like gxxr said everything is stock. It doesn't even have basic bolt on mods. Its lucky if its 250hp

The e-prom chip dont do shit for hp unless there is other work done. It you can do with a chip is change the timing and pules with of the injectors by 10%. Oh and the fan temp also.

So what do you think? Is it work $7500

I'd have it checked out by a mechanic and have a compression test done, if it checks out good then I would say yes. Being that it is normally aspirated it's highly unlikely it has 480hp, he could easily have a dyno sheet from a different car or just an edited dyno sheet, but still if it checks out good from a mechanic I'd go for it.

[Big]

there is a supercharger on the manifold isnt there?

nope, stock intake

agreed, the guy is most likely full of it. Tell him you will pay to have it dyno'd and if it pulls 480hp you will take it and see what he says.

well i guess ill chime in on this now... ive been using this thread to take about my bike for alittle so... lets get to this vette.... i do this for a living people... there is no way that motor has anywhere near 500hp not even at the crank, let alone at the rear wheels... there is no major power adder there, no supercharger, no turbo, and no nitrious solynoids.... the valve covers are stock, meaning the there is no major head swaps or valve work... and i can't be too positive cause im a mustang man but i almost positive the intake manafold is completely stock as well... no cold air intake.... dude this guy is takin you for a ride.... take it from somebody who knows cars very very well... and with 99K your vette has alot of wear and tear and things are gonna start going.... especially if you wana buy this thing to beat the crap out of... if i were you i wouldn't buy it ur getting swindled... just telling you what i know... which is two things pre-med, and cars.... this thing is a rip off..

[ftony]

I wouldnt bother to mod that engine with 100k on it.maybe you should look around.That is a clean looking vette though....

[ftony]

dont let 100k scare you..if the car is a tight driving car,its ok.Just be prepared to do the engine if you want to make the horsepower that you desire..100k isnt shit to the car itself...

^ ftony... are you speaking in riddles?

Check it out. There is no way it is in excellent condition after seeing the pic of the engine. I'd offer him $6500 Max! 18k probably was invested, when he bought it!

[importeater91]

im a fox body style mustang man.... got an 89 5.0 hatch... paxton supercharger.... stompin the happy peddle on that thing almost rips the frame in half...

i got a 91 with a bunch of engine and suspension work...i love those cars...oh and they dont have a frame there a unibody

[dwaynewade]

i was really starting to like it... until i saw the interior... how can you drive an AUTO vette!!!!! something of an oximoron...

[PEWN]

throw some d's on dat bitch..

Understood... but in that case buy a sleek sedan, i personally wouldn't find the auto vette very gratifying

[IronReload04]

honestly, i dont know a whole about cars......but what i think i do know is, that is a ****en awesome car for that price

[bcaasdirty]

LOL 500hp out of an L98

The quote gave 3 prices ,its in range of where the car should be listed.Its a pic dude nobody in this forum other than the guy who seen the car knows if its clean,He said he got him down to 6800.The car itself is fine with 100k.however Bolting on power such as a superchager wouldnt be a good idea on a high mile engine,but ripping down the engine and rebuilding it would be the way to go to make reliable horsepower...Jack in jill went up the...ya you finish the riddlel..lol

[qualityclrk1]

throw some d's on dat bitch..

hahahaha

[TAPPER]

IMO, it’s not worth a dime over low book value. That motor looks stock and I highly doubt it could muster up 300HP at the crank on a good day. The suspension and tranny are probably loose and at 100K it’s not going to be long before something goes if you lean on it a bit.

For the hell of it lets say he did invest 18K and it is 480HP. Where are the receipts and pics? I don’t know one person who has had a motor built and didn’t take a shit-load of pics from the time the parts arrived right up through the build and then the finished product. Match up some receipts to actual parts on the car. He didn’t drop 18K on all internals so there must be some aftermarket components somewhere.

[notus]

Thanks alot guys... I won't be getting the car too many negative things have been brought up.
