Pontiac : Firebird Two door 305 v 8 engine

$1,100

Bristol, Pennsylvania

I bought the Firebird in 1985 new from a Pontiac dealer. I should have sold it a long time ago but I kept repairing it for a total repair cost of 24.000. The trunk contains a new Tiger Paw full size spare tire. The car still runs good and should considering I have done many repairs recently on the car, which are the following:6/7/11 Replaced strut assembly, and windshield washer pump.6/6/12 Replaced entire exhaust system pipes, muffler, and front tire.12/17/12 Replaced starter assembly, and battery2/5/13 Engine tune up, replaced spark plugs, air cleaner, distributor cap, fuel filter, air filter adjusted ignition timing, and idle speed.6/18/13 Replaced shocks.12/11/13 Replaced rear brake wheel cylinders.3/5/14 Replaced water pump.At what point do you stop repairing a car and sell it or trade it in for a new one? Since I'm now retired and only receive a small monthly income from Social Security, I can't afford to maintain the car anymore. I have the option of replacing the two front tires at a cost of 170 dollars. Then I could keep driving the car until the inspection stickers expire on 12-31-15. I had the car inspected using a 30 point courtesy check on 6-15-15. I was told that the brakes were still good but the car had other problems that needed repair such as the center link and the rear sway bar links had play in them. The other problems mentioned were the idler arm and front-end alignment; the front tires had uneven wear, the right head light won't go up, and a broken driver's side outside door handle. I was told it would cost around 600 dollars to repair those items in order for the Firebird to pass the PA inspection. I noticed recently that the "check engine light" comes on after driving the car for two miles and stays on until you turn the engine off. The car still runs fine and I don't know what the light means. It probably has something to do with the emission control system equipment such as the oxygen sensor. I was told it would cost 125 dollars to check the computer code for the reason why the light is coming on. Based on Nada Guides Classic Car Prices for a 1985 Pontiac Firebird 2 Door Coupe with a 305 V8 engine the following prices are indicated:Low Retail Value Average Retail Value High Retail Value $2,129 $4,920 $7,920Low Retail Value This vehicle would be in mechanically functional condition, needing only minor reconditioning. The exterior paint, trim and interior would show normal wear, needing only minor reconditioning. May also be a deteriorated restoration or a very poor amateur restoration. Most usable ‘as-is’.Average Retail ValueThis vehicle would be in good condition overall. It could be an older restoration or a well-maintained original vehicle. Completely operable. The exterior paint, trim, and mechanics are presentable and serviceable inside and out. A ‘20-footer’.High Retail Value This vehicle would be in excellent condition overall. It could be a completely restored or an extremely well-maintained original vehicle showing very minimal wear. The exterior paint, trim, and mechanics are not in need of reconditioning. The interior would be in excellent condition. Note: This value does not represent a '100 Point' or '# 1' vehicle *. * '100 Point' or '# 1' vehicle is not driven. It would generally be in a museum or transported in an enclosed trailer to concours judging and car shows. This type of car would be stored in a climate-regulated facility. Note: Vehicles/Vessels in exceptional condition can be worth a significantly higher value than the Average Retail Price shown.Now the question is where does my Firebird rank based on the above prices? I would say it would be in the low retail value "as is" category but what would be a fair price for the Firebird? Since it needs repairs to fit into the low retail value it's a matter of how much it would cost to make the repairs. If I deduct 10 percent for the air conditioning that doesn't work that drops the price down to 1,952. If I deduct only what is needed to pass the PA safety inspection. I already have been told that price is around 600 dollars and I know it would cost 170 dollars to replace the two front tires. If I deduct that cost from 1,952, the price drops to 1,182. If deduct the cost to check the computer code for the "check engine light," that drops the price down to 1,057. I'll make the price an even 1,100 dollars but will consider an offer lower than that price. Remember, if you use the "buy it now" option you will have to immediately make a non-refundable deposit into my PayPal account. If you decide to walk away from the sale like a previous bidder did on the last auction sale for 1,125 dollars, I'll keep the deposit. You can pay the balance due, title transfer fee, and state sales tax at the auto tag place when we complete the sale. If you have any questions about the Firebird, send me a message.
