I dident know where to post this so sorry if I'm at the total wrong place, but I was wondering what the price of the z31 was when it was new. I got a burned z31 2+2 turbo and the insurance is going to giwe me back what the car is worth so I can get a almost like car or fix my z.

So I was wondering what the new price for the z31 1989 2+2 turbo was?

Anywhere from 1500-7000, depends on condition, which transmission, what colour, and whether it has t-tops or a solid roof…

Maybe scour craigslist and show the insurance company the asking prices?

^Agree with Alex.

However, how relevant is that today? For example, I think the 84T GLL package was north of 21K in the 80s…once you add in inflation and what not, does that mean it's worth 21K + inflation today? Probably not.

It would only be relevant if he had a collector's car insurance policy that was underwritten for replacing MSRP's original value. I am not even sure this variable truly exists.

I have Grundy on my 89. We have a set $40k agreed total loss policy totally based on how much money I have recently put into my car, the overall condition of the car, and how often I drive it.

So if anything happens to my Z to where it gets totaled, I will get a check for $40k.

If he has a standard auto insurance policy, the original MSRP wouldn't be relevant at all! Then it falls into what G-E is saying for current value.

Well there's no way an insurance company was going to give him the msrp for repair costs… so I just ignored the confusing part [archived image: wink.png]

My insurance have to find a car that is in the same style as the z31(power, must have turbo, must have a stick, no auto transmission shit) or fix my car or give me my car back and money to fix it or buy a new car.

I bought my 85T GL new in 85 and it cost approx. $22K for it. That would be $48K today. These numbers are totally irrelevant today for insurance issues since these are not new cars 30 years later.
