How do you know the right price to pay for a restoration car?

This is an area that gets a little tricky. Experience will definitely help and the Internet can be your friend. Smart investors and restorers research the value of classic cars in order to make an educated offer to purchase. The fastest way is to type the Year, Make, and Model in a search engine and see what the asking price is of the same type of vehicle across the country.

Another suggestion is to determine what your budget is going to be. How much do you have to spend? How much are parts going to cost ? Will you do the work yourself or hire a restoration shop? You may be able to go to a bookstore and find a restoration price guide. Depending on the year, run a search through Kelly Blue Book and get a general guideline.
