I'm currently looking at one now. Listing of course made the car look flawless. Owner has been very honest in my correspondence with him about issues and more pictures. His price is appropriate if it were as good as the listing. I think it's probably in the same $4-5k range, though. May check it in person soon.
Great video! I have been looking at C4 listings on KSL recently and have been considering one as a 1st car. I saw this listing and looks like a great car. (Although I am no expert)
Dude, its a good time to buy a C4. Bought one with 18K on it, legit! I checked it over and even have the car fax to back it up 😎 Paid less then 5K for it. It needs Maintenance! LOL, who tunes up a car with less then 18K on it?
@@sargentthiccboi9333 You should check out Ebay motors , there are many of them listed. Half the price of a C3 and in good shape. I went for lo miles and needs serious maintenance Good Luck on the C3! 😎👍
Love my 86!!!! Barn find with 52K ORIGINAL MILES!!!! And, best part, its a Malcom Konner car (#13 of 50 made), has all options like the Z51 package, G44 rear axle package and the performance sport Recaro seat package. Only 10 of the 50 were optioned like this and along with the BBS Konner wheels. Got it for $6,850 from the guy who just couldn't get in/out of it anymore. I almost felt guilty.......almost:). Going to lightly mod the engine (just bolt ons and an exhaust). In the midst of that now. Good luck with your shopping and have fun man!
‘1LT’?😄 And what’s that piece of fabric doing near the gas cap? Having experience with machine shops, a ‘rebuild’ engine is a red flag for me. Nice wheels and seats though.
I wonder how much my insurance will be because i've been driving my 99 ford ranger for 6 months and my insurance is $108, but im sure it will be higher for a corvette.
With that many miles it was certainly no $6000 or $7500 car no matter what. Maybe around $3000-3500 because it looked decent and the interior wasn't all ripped and torn.
Shopping for a C4 myself. The hardest thing is trying to find a manual trans. Why anyone wants an enthusiast car with an auto is beyond me. For some reason 'vette buyers seemed to really favor the auto.
Shopping for cars is so much cheaper than buying them...... Now I'm shopping for a warehouse :( Have you seen Matt Farrah's new garage ? The guy from Smoking Tire?
If you buy that corvette you better have a big pockette.I know this because i have a 93 corvette with only 5000 original miles in mint condition.But when i go to fix anything on it.It is not cheap. Corvettes are very expensive to fix.
Wheels are original but polished.. it is the base version of the 86'..seats are not sport seats, it doesn't have the z51 package that has bilstein shocks.. pretty basic model and overall good condition
He is looking to add a C4 to his stable...cause he doesnt have enough aggrivation in his life😂🤔😳😳😂😂😂 Orange! I think you mean Copper!,😁😁 Yes on the woodgrain.👍👍😎 Wow! maintained and restored! Amazing.👍
I don't understand the most important things where good. So....why not negotiate if you have a solid base to work with. These cars are 30 plus years old now what are you expecting. If you want perfect then you'll be paying for it and much higher.
We were too far apart on price. The guy was asking $6k and we didn’t want to pay more than $4k (and our first offer would have been in the 3s). Given his situation, he was flexible on the price but not $2k flexible. We didn’t want to low ball him.
First red flag was "no license plates". The second red flag was the seller stating that he has only had the car for 2 weeks. For me just the fact that the young seller wanted to "meet" and not show the car at his house was a sure sign it was a "flip" pass the pink slip deal. The 1986 vette had the vat security system. 👎
???!!!! what? that dude was paying $350 dollars A MONTH on an old used 'vette??? LOL impossible, not even on a NEW VETT would it cost that much.. I mean what insurance company was he using? one in some dudes back yard? please...did he have 1400 unpaid speeding tickets? $4200 a year --- dude couldn't possibly be that stupid
Not really into those "clam breather" aftermarket exhaust tips or the fake wood in the interior but I like the rest of the car. Looks like that car owner spent most of his cash in the Autozone accessory aisle instead of the engine bay. Hope he changed the oil because that engine bay looks filthy and almost untouched. Three thousand dollar car at best. No way is it worth anywhere close to $6k.
LOVE the NEW LOGO TOO, Forget to mention that !
Enjoying your "shopping for cars" much cheaper than if I went. Nice cars to look at. Thanks
Early Production 86 it has iron cyl. Heads , The perimeter valve cover bolts are the tip off.

I have a 86 C4 aluminum heads stick shift! Put a zz4 cam on it and it’ll go
👍
I am sold on buying one now

Doc Tyler I was originally looking for a c3. And there’s one close that I want but if it sells before I can get the money I’ll happily take a c4

The third breaking light not working. It would bother me if I was buying it.
👍
A lot of interior pieces are not kosher. The paint is an alarm. The young owner is another alarm. Did they offer polished wheels in 86'?
great video
I would buy it
For $6k?
@@ReynoldsRides Maybe not for 6k
$350 a month?! Now I’m worried about getting a C4 :(
I just picked up a '93 C4 and I pay $80 a month. $350 is insane. Makes me wonder if the owner had some tickets on file lol
I wonder how much my insurance will be because i've been driving my 99 ford ranger for 6 months and my insurance is $108, but im sure it will be higher for a corvette.

Agreed.
Does your buddy like his STS-V? I was going to get my wife one and ended up getting her an Impala SS. I really love those STS-V cars.
Yes, he really likes it. It’s a really cool car.
I’m shocked that whoever painted it didn’t paint the belt molding being that they painted the door handles.
4:20 for the corvette👍
Only bad thing about that car is that it is an automatic. Honestly on camera it looked really good. I have an 87 and its probably not as nice.
👍
Good video Jeff
Thank you sir.
Buy the later models.
Iron or aluminum heads? Early 86s had iron and later had aluminum.
Good question, I’m not sure if it’s an early one or later one.
@@ReynoldsRides This is an early 86 with iron heads. The way you can tell is the location of the valve cover bolts. Compare them to your 89.
👍
its iron head.

Because it's easier to find a auto than manual
6k? in Europe you pay twice as much. it's definitely worth more than 6000 here
even more now! The prices went absolutely crazy this summer

Rather see the car in its original condition before I buy any car..
What do you expect the cars 35 years old
I never said we didn’t expect any issues, just that the car wasn’t worth what the guy was asking because of the issues.
Wow my c4 insurance is less than 100/month. Then again im 25 and clean record. Jeez that is alot for a kid
I wonder how much my insurance will be because im only 16 but i have been driving for 6 months with a clean record.
I have an 1986 in NJ for sale 8,000 good condition 40,000 original miles
Let me know I can send pics
👍

Also interior lights not working? Might be just a bad fuse
That’s actually my friends corvette haha
Ha ha! Nice. Is your friend the kid selling it in the video or the one that bought it?
@@ReynoldsRides selling
What do you look at when buying a C4
Buy a 85
He is looking to add a C4 to his stable...cause he doesnt have enough aggrivation in his life😂🤔😳😳😂😂😂 Orange! I think you mean Copper!,😁😁 Yes on the woodgrain.👍👍😎 Wow! maintained and restored! Amazing.👍
Sunburst orange is what the owner said.
Reynolds Rides Roger that👍👍 I googled. Both GM and Chrysler used that color. Sunburst Orange. I like it!!👍👍

Add a convertible to the collection!
My work friend has the stick version of that Cadillac.
Nice! That would be really fun.
1:12 that's like a normal daily car we don't really care about that one
Good to know you speak for everyone on TH-cam.😉
it’s only six thousand dollar & a 86 corvette what you expect awesome fast car that you can’t effort.
ONLY $6k? That’s a lot of money in general and it’s especially a lot of money for a car that’s probably worth $4k at the very most.

So for $5900 yall was looking for a new car?
Yep. Brand new. No issues. Perfect.😕
