I was doing an autotrader search for 3rd gen Camaros in the 89-92 year range and was surprised with the prices I was seeing. I only did a 200 mile search and got about a full page of Camaros in the 7k-10k price range. And a few of them were near 15k. Granted, they were the super low mileage garage queens. But come on, you can get a really nice low mileage LS1 car for that kind of coin. Most of the cars in the 7-10k range had between 25k and 50k miles on them. This is what struck me as odd. I bought my 94 Z28 6-speed hardtop last summer with only 28k in absolutely mint (and I mean M-I-N-T) condition for 7k. And as far as LT1 4th gens go, that seems to be the top of the pricerange.
Is this a sign of things to come? Is my car going to increase in value once the 5th gens come out? This doesn't make any sence to me.

Yeah there are cheap ones all over the place. But what I was searching for were newer 3rd gens (89-92) with under 100k miles and in good shape. Good shape being no rust, good paint, minimal interior wear, and mechanically sound. I'm not even talking about L98 cars, just plain old 305 tbi daily driver stuff. I was expecting to find many of those examples in the $3,000-$5,000 range, but they seem to be worth much more. Mabey I'm just cheap.

After I made this thread, I went back and did a search for 93-97 Camaros. Apparently, they're worth alot more than I thought too. I guess I got a better deal on mine than I thought.

We don't know if they are getting those numbers or not, but they are asking that. I have a feeling that they are getting good money for many of them. If you had an '89 Turbo TA in great shape, you'd be sitting on a mint (it seems).
