What is roadster worth
I have a chance to buy this 1928 roadster that has been sitting in a barn for many years. It appears in good shape little rust and good top. Any suggestions on what I should offer?

Re: What is roadster worth
Has the owner given any indication of what they would like to get out of it?
Lots more information on condition needed to help establish a baseline value. Contact the local Model A club and have someone(s) go with you to look at it.

Re: What is roadster worth
Get it running and take it for a drive if you like it and it preforms well it maybe worth $7-10 K.

Re: What is roadster worth
look at Old Cars price guide. It is worth more than 10K unless it is a lot rougher than it appears. I'd say somewhere $14K to $18K.

A real nice '30 STD roadster just went for $9500 near me. I didn't hear about till it too late. Typical.

Re: What is roadster worth
non running car that looks pretty decent- 9-10k
if it ran well 12k 30-31 roadsters always bring more money. |

Re: What is roadster worth
I have a friend that bought a HUD repo. It had been dropped from the last sale price of over $200,000 to $74,000 I told him to offer less but he wouldn't listen. He could have bought the property for much less but was afraid to make the offer. I have listings on eBay all with make offer but rarely get an offer, everybody seems to be too shy. Get it running and make an offer he can always counter.

Re: What is roadster worth
houses and cars are horses of a different color. I have bought houses all of my life at drastically reduced prices.
cars just arent discounted the same. |

Re: What is roadster worth
I don’t believe we know enough about the car to make a fair price assessment.
I would need a better description of mechanical condition and more pictures. Right now, with the limited information available, the price range would be so great that it would not mean very much. |

Re: What is roadster worth
Also depends if you are a true enthusiast and desire the car, or you are just another 'flipper' looking for a quick buck and trying to emulate the TV dummies we are bombarded with today.
Call Frank and Mike. Oh wait, they are pretty bad at buying cars they don't know squat. |

Re: What is roadster worth
Couple years ago or so Frank and Mike bought an ECO tire inflator for next to nothing after I had seen similar sell at auctions for $800-$1200. What bothered me was a car buddies wife had been wanting me to find him one for a Christmas gift.She saw the episode and called me saying that is what they are going for and you always told me they pay too much.I cannot believe on that one item they went completely the other way.

Re: What is roadster worth
Hey Burgamot, does that '28 Roadster have a left front fender spare tire mount? If it does, you might want to try getting in the car. These Roadsters leave very little room for getting in and out. If you have any beer gut at all, forget it!
