89 gt value?
I ran across an 89gt for sale. I have been doing some research and it sounds like the 89 gt was a rather unique car. Are they similar in value to the 90 and 91 gt's? I have seen a few people claim only 50 were brought to the US but other people have said that figure is much higher.
It also sounds like quite a few people try to make an S4 look like the gt and you have to be very careful it is a real GT.
From what I have seen it looks like most GT's are going for around $20k or at least that is what people are asking for them. Is that a pretty accurate value for one that is well maintained and in average to good condition?
Oh, I decided to become a member today, i have gotten much more than $17 worth so far.

It all depends on:
mileage
condition
service history
accidents?
dealer vs. private sale
modifications
In general, the range is about $15k on the very low side to $30k+ on the high side. I nice example should be had for somewhere around $25k IMO.
Also, there is a WIDE range of meaning when people say average condition or mint condition, or showroiom condition. You need to see it and evaluate it yourself.

The 89 GT was fitted with better wheels....forged but S-4 and GT look much the same GT had twin tailpipes and the different rims. Values are much the same for 89-91 GT. My preference is the 89 due to no airbags and conventional limited slip. They are now old enough that miles and condition are the most important determinates of value.

Wow James, I just noticed your impressive list of growing accomplishments,
that has got to be worth something, possibly you should write a book.
For the OP out in CO we had a very very nice condition 89GT sell for under 18K not enough IMHO,
anyway the car had some kind of title issue but the car was in award condition

There were a fair few 89 S4 5-speeds made up until the GT entered production sometime around Feb '89. There's probably a list of '89 5-speed tallies somewhere too.
I wouldn't buy an '89 GT without verifying the engine number and gearbox type for this reason.

I have always had great respect for you but after reading your sig, it is even greater. I am glad you are doing fine brother.
