It is the economy. Good luck and it has been hit, what would it be worth if it was not ?

The kind of person that is interested in spending big $$$ for a GS, are looking for virgins. If the car has a salvage title or history that pretty much kills that. Does it make it a bad car, no. It just makes it a C4 with a manual transmission, and low miles.

I understand, but no salvage title no fire or flood damage, just hit in the front, I'm not asking for top price for a car that hasnt been touched, Its for someone who wants a GS with low miles. hey if it doesnt sell i'll sit on till theres no more left..

So what, it's been hit? If it was repairable and repaired correctly, what's the big deal?

And by the way, it'll never be just another C4 6 speed.

So what are you saying $10,000. What planet are you thinking of,it is still a GS with a manual transmission and low miles not what you said. Try to help with his sale not hinder it.

No, I didn't say. If I had of I would have said twice that. The Op needs to make very clear that it isn't salvage, which is the first thing some people think of when they hear front end damage. It's commendable that he is being up front about it as opposed to the guy who sold it to him. The main reason people think a GS is worth the 100% premium, is percieved collector value (they have a good track record). If I was interested in GS's, I would look real hard at it over a $40,000 one, and put the $15,000 to better use.

Asking and getting are 2 different things. The low mile coupe that's on EBAY has been for sale for more than a year...down to $32K for a sub 5K mile car.
