As you are aware, it is a buyer's market. I thought I would never see the day when ANY S351 would sell for under $20K. In the past few months, I have seen two of them do that...
Check out www.nadaguides.com or the kelly black book for current book value. You can also call Mark pas to get his opinion about the car as it is on his website for sale as well........
It also depends on what you feel the value is and what you are willing to buy it for. A N/A coupe with that mileage and condition (in todays market) is selling between $20k-$22.5K. So a N/A convertible/speedster you could add another $3k-$5k and you are pretty close to that range. I do know that he as been trying to sell that car for some time so he may be willing to let it go for less if you approach him with cash
Hold out for a R- Code if you can. If you keep the car any length of time you will be happy you did. That black car is definitely a collectable but also with that mileage a serious driver. You can always have the seats re upholstered. Hey at least this guy enjoys his car. There really isn't anthing wrong with that mileage in the long run. IF it was a factory blown car and you wanted a black vert I'd tell you to jump on it because you could get it for a steal.
To answer your question though I would say that car is worth 25 tops a few months ago. Maybe only 23 today.

I agree with Marcus. If you really want an R-code, hold off. Deals are out there. You just have to wait and be patient. One will pop up every once in a while. I got a 17,000 mile '95 R-code coupe a few months ago for $27,000 (and it's got the '97 and T56 6-speed upgrade). However, if you are interested, here's 46,000 mile N/A '95 S351 coupe:

Yes, that same S351 (#58) was listed on the PAS site about two years ago (perhaps a bit earlier). I had made a trade offer for my '89 & cash, but since it was a consignment vehicle Mark couldn't accept a trade on behalf of the owner.
It did have an Alpine stereo system with the amplifier mounted directly to the trunk floor which was pretty lame, but the rest of the car appeared to be quite well maintained.
I seem to recall it had about 30K miles on it @ the time so the new owner(s) have been driving it quite extensively.
$19K (negotiable) seems like a pretty good price.
Put a 408 ci stroker in it & whup all those R-code owners.
