Hello y’all. I’m considering about a car I’d be interested in purchasing. It’s a 1984 Chevrolet Caprice Classic coupe. My grandparents used to have one and I’d like to have it since I like to get nostalgic. My question is…I found one online and I just want to see how people can figure out to price i…

Not every old car is a classic. Some are just old cars.

Here’s a benchmark; of sorts. Too many doors and wrong color for my taste. [image] This 1984 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Only Has 8K Miles And it's being listed for under $13K.

[image] Mustangman: Not every old car is a classic. Some are just old cars. I agree, but sometimes there’s more to it than that. I’d like to have a 1964 Series 62 Cadillac hardtop. It’s not a classic Caddy, but we had one when I was in my mid-teens, and started driving in it. The parking test…

Actual classics have ample sources of pricing data. Hagertys, all the auction houses and sites like Bring a Trailer. Cars like your Caddy have all the elements for you as any classic car but because your desire isn’t shared by many, the database of sales isn’t large enough to give you direction on …

There’s a Caprice Classic sedan in my neighborhood. Looks to be about the same vintage as those in the Hemmings ad. And it is clearly in excellent shape. I haven’t bothered to ask . . . and it’s not for sale . . . but I’ll bet lunch the guy wouldn’t entertain letting it go for less than 4 - 5 K

My 62 has that same suspension, and I love the ride, altho if you take a turn or curve too fast, it feels like the body is going to slide off the frame. The car isn’t worth a lot, but I didn’t pay a lot for it, and I smile whenever I drive it. You can’t put a price on that.

Absent some extreme emotional attachment it’s worth a couple of thousand max. If the owner was an idiot and had it restored to some degree then add another thousand or two, again max.

I was actually looking at that coupe caprice in Hemmings. So 12k for a caprice coupe is a big no-no? I’d love to come across a caprice again but no I’m not going to pay $12k for one. Thanks for all the advice. Much appreciated. I’ll just wait for another to come along albeit much much cheaper.

[image] Rusty: So 12k for a caprice coupe is a big no-no? Only by actually seeing any classic or even an old vehicle they can have prices all over the place. New brakes , exhaust or other work can be expensive . It might be worth it to one person but not to another . Just saying a certain ve…
