I paid 5000.oo for an 84 and 4999 for the last one off the production line in 87+1/2 .I got ripped off then. The 84 was ok about 6 years 100k but went quickly. The 87 was trouble right off the lot.I like my 94 and 98 metros better. Chevy still cant make a good car. He should of got an ACCENT new for under 11.
