I believe in the $30k+ range, depending on the trim level...low 30's for base/std and mid to high for LS models...I think...I am sure I will be corrected if wrong

my old 89 ls came with the original sticker and it was around 31k.

we paid 41,000 dollars for our 93 legend when it was new. we also traded a 89 legend for it as well.

I have the original window sticker for my 88 L coupe and it lists for $28,655. That really was a lot of money for a car back then as I remember buying a Grand Caravan for $15,000 in 1987.

My 87 L coupe went for right at $28k; that's with 5sp, leather, and auto climate control.......

It really is amazing the price you can pick them up for now compared to their brand new pricing. I think they were close to NZ $60,000 here brand new. And I paid NZ $1,200 for mine two years ago.

Depreciation is a beeyotch (or a good thing when you like to buy used cars

)

True, when you buy them used it's a different story. As long as I keep my car in good condition, I don't see myself getting much less than the price I paid for it (even if I sell it 10 years from now).
