May be selling my 84...

Postby RichG » Wed Dec 31, 2008 1:06 pm

Well, I may have to part company with my convertible...Not sure yet...somethings come up that might make it necessary.
I need some input, so here's the complete lowdown....

1984 LeBaron Convertible 2.2....80,000 original miles, third owner.
Original spoked wheelcovers, complete with pentastar insets.
Clean engine, no leaks. Pristine trunk, carpet and spare with jack cover.
New Top, top frame sprayed, rebuilt hydraulics. Glass rear window. (spring '07)
New driver and passenger side window motors.
No evident cancer or rust issues (can't find, and Ive looked hard.)
New Battery, Coil, wires, pickup, thermostat, front calipers, rotors, whitewall tires, exhaust. (spring '06)
Dashboard pristine, no cracks or sun damage. Speakers replaced,(dash and rear). JVC am/fm/cd with Chrysler dash and harness conversion kit, have original PLL tuner with cassette.
24-26 mpg non oxygenated gas......oil changed every 3-4000 mi
Daily summer driver (Apr-Oct).

Needs.....

Interior: Carpet bucket (sun faded), brittle plastic on interior door well trim. A\c seals (compressor ok last time used, won't hold a charge). Cruise control inoperative. Drivers seat needs vinyl repair at left bicep level (my upholstery guy said it's basically just urethaning a vinyl panel over, then spray dyeing the interior to match). Horizontal surface paint delamination on trunk (just beginning no hood). Drivers and passenger window slipping, tracks need alignment.

I estimate it needs about less than $3000 to finish If the cosmetics were done (interior and exterior),; mechanics probably another 700.

I'm thinking about asking $3200. Too cheap or too much? What does anyone think....Thanks...Rich

Why are you selling? Thats too bad. If you sell, could you please try to persuade the buyer to join our club? Good luck.

I would certainly advise anyone buying my car to join (if not already a member) the club.(Like Yoda I speak!). Why I'm selling, well i really can't say. What I'm really looking for is quality opinions on the dollar value...from people who know ane care........

i think $1,500, perhaps $2,000 to the right buyer. i see 20-25 year old k convertibles occasionally (many in much worse shape than yours) and they want 3 grand or more for them just because they are flashy convertibles. k cars are awesome, but i'll keep shopping rather than blow my budget just buying the car.....need to save some for upgrades and maintenace!

good luck with the sale....best to sell to a k car enthusiast or atleast someone who genuinely wants to take pride in ownership!
