I love this car, 5spd TPI Iroc. This is basicly the car I'm looking for. Something I can daily drive.. not a showcar. I think the price is just WAY off though or id be seriously trying to look into it.

This is not your typical irocz which are very few anymore. It's about the second most desirable irocz after the 1LE.

Chazman replied in this thread. You need to check his out. Twin to yours, but black and 11k miles. He bought it new. They are pretty damn awesome cars! Someone would have a killer car if they bought yours and painted it!

How did you arrive at this number? GM kept track of how many MM5 cars were built, they could also tell you how many N10 cars were built... but time and time again in the the history and originality forum it has been found that GM did not keep track of combined options.

I see other small things that should be addressed if you want to get this kind of money out of it, but with bad paint, it does't have curb appeal to attract the big dollars.

I bet it's super close considering those options together weren't available until the later 1989 model year.

Mine is a 1990 with those same options and its 1 of 295. I asked Chazman one time if he had an idea how many 89's were built like his (his car is similar in options to this guys car) and he agreed it was probably around the same number....so his 1 of around 300 is probably not at all out of line. You sure don't see them, that's for sure!

300-ish is the number I've used. About 1500 1989 G92s were manufactured. I can't imagine more than 20% were sticks.

And, the N10 wasn't available until the later build 89's on top of that, correct?

I got this info from people on thirdgen.org and I do plan on waiting for the correct buyer as this car is now parked and only going up in value.

I am not trying to be offensive, but its all an estimation and conjecture. Not as factual as the ad would mislead less informed buyers. I am not disputing the number, because I can't since the data isn't available.

Gotta compare apples to apples, bud. Unless you also have an 89 G92, 5 speed IROC.

For example, we bought a running and driving 91 Trans Am convertible for $1,800......one of only 555 built, and in no way shape or form is it comparable to this car. It seems like the third gens that are bringing the money, say IROC-Z on the doors.....and probably the most desirable ones of those have 3 pedals.

Pretty disrespectful to come into someone’s for sale ad, and dispute what the seller feels he/she needs to sell it for. Really messes up the chance of a sell. I’m pretty new here, but on other forums where I’ve been for years, we don’t go there...

I have to agree. At least they are the most desirable for me.

Yup, I have even considered they may be the most valuable long term of all the regular production thirdgens, aside form the TTA

Welcome to thirdgen.

Ads here routinely get feedback.

A site dedicated to a particular car is not the place to get top dollar... seen it with GTO's, Vipers, Corvettes, and F-bodys... probably Mustangs too. I think you are being exposed to a bit of an extreme due to the the marketing and price of this particular car. I believe if the OP had left out the "Collectors Item" bit on an 80K car and put a more market based price you wouldn't see this type of thread going. Doing that at a "Model Specific" forum is bound to solicit this type of feedback.

The OP has stated he is willing to wait to get his price, which is fine. I would imagine it is not going to be from a member here. This shouldn't be the only place to list a car either, so it shouldn't screw up a sale from other outlets. The issue with this particular car/sale is the people who know what they are looking at (a 5-speed G92 car) also know the real market value. It will be one day worth his asking price.

The paint definitely hurts this car's value, but in my opinion, these are the 3rd gens to get. Right up there with 1LEs, IMHO. It'd be nice to have the PBR front brakes, but generally, beyond that, this packs the same hardware. Plus, I'm getting too old to not have AC and power windows and those driving lights sure come in handy on a dark road..

I couldn't have said it better myself, Charlie. I am right with ya.


It's a super desirable car. It's also a southern car that is super solid, it's all there and all original. The interior doesn't need much at all. It needs paint. The miles aren't bad, either......hell it's 30 years old. For someone that can paint this car themselves, it'd be a super easy machine to make perfect and you'd have an absolutely killer car.



I just painted this Trans Am, and had around $1,400 in paint.

I had a quote on a paint job to put the car back in its original state and the guy was going to pull the car apart and paint it right for $4,000 that's why I have all brand new original decals,badges & seals for the car.

Personally, if it were my car, I'd try to retain as much of the original paint as possible.

Re: 1989 Iroc-z 5 Speed G92/N10 80k miles, Hardtop, 1 of about 300

The car would need a full repaint to look right, but it would probably be worth it...

Only thing more desirable than a three pedal IROC is a convertible with three pedals for a weekend cruiser..

If the interior is pretty much all there it’s definitely worth fixing the paint. $4k is cheap to have the car fully disassembled and painted.. usually more like $7-10 for a show quality job up here if you can even find a reputable shop that will take a “non insurance” job..

The decals and stripes are expensive so take that into consideration too..

If the rims are in good shape, the underside too, and doesn’t need anything mechanically it’s in the right price range..

The interior is all there and needs minor attention
(Steering wheel redone & headliner)
Look at the upside you get to have it painted the way you want it. I've seen some pretty bad paint jobs and people knock the paint job (cutting corners) this way you don't have to worry about that.

The car is 100% RUST FREE

If I weren’t tied up in the middle of a mortgage re-fi and having my home painted, along with a new t56 magnumF purchase for the Chevelle, I’d pick this car up. It’s worth the price to me and I can paint. I’m just strapped for spending cash right now. Third gen values are climbing steeply right now and know I could do well with a car this rare, in the future.

"Damn" was my exact reaction as well. Good job Darin
