Nice example, but very expensive. I'm sure you could do better if you look around through private sales.

I'm doubting if it is a true ghia... the badge on the garnish is in the wrong place, and there are ghia badges stuck on the glove box lid...
ghia bits and pieces aren't too hard to come by... i reckon its a tarted up fairmont

Big Deal it has some wheels on it, haven't you already got a nice set of rims DaFish - why waste money doubling up.....
The rims may have been $2k when new but they are 2nd hand now so thats about $1k worth of wheels and $4k for the car. You can get an EF or EFII or EL V8 Ghia (leather) for around $6k with wheels.........

Wheels don't add squat when buying a second hand car of that age with 220,000ks. The dealer would have paid $1500 - $2000 MAX 4 that car. The dealer prob put those rims on through contacts that he has for practically nothing. It's a buyers market when it comes to v8s these days. It does look nice. I would pay 4 grand MAX for it. It may take you a walk out or 2, but I think 4 grand would eventually get the deal done. Remeber, dealers don't ordinarily look at mods that YOU'VE done when offering a trade amount to YOUR car. They look at redbook, come up with a price. A 92 EB with a 10 grand stereo would still get a similar trade in price to a 92 EB without that 10 grand stereo. if mods don't work on your end, why should they with the dealer?? You've got to be quick witted with dealers and play the same game they do.
