Anyone have an extra owners kit . unfortunately my car didn't come with one . any condition even with missing parts . Thanks
yea I pretty much have an Idea of what the market value is . Unfortunately I don't have an owners kit to go with my car . Thanks ..
The owners kit became a collectible item just like the jackets and other trinkets. Its condition can vary its value. Given an owners kit can vary in value from 300-1000 it becomes a negociating point.
The buyer never wants to pay for it.. the seller never wants to give it up for free.
When I bought my first TTA, it was a 500 dollar bargaining chip.. 16K with or 15,500 without. That was in 2002.
Some buyers never know about the box when they buy the cars.. and dont ask for it.
What can you say...

Maybe so, but it's my understanding that jackets and trinkets did not specifically come with the car. The owner's kit did, it would be just as crappy to take out the floormats before selling the car and holding them for ransom,which is what this really is. I see the the owners kit as part of the car in as much as the plug wires, T-top shades,etc.
Why can't sellers just sell the car with a price that reflects the TTA specific pieces that will come with it?
What is special about the floormats?

He is just making a comparison :wink:
Yes,just a comparison, and the owner's kit by my understanding was part of the transaction. There was an "express warranty" or due obligation on the part of Pontiac and it's dealerships to send an owner's kit as part of the new car sale.
Jackets and other hoo-har that were TTA specific were not part of the original transaction but could be bought outside that transaction, by anyone.
The kit contained the all important Pace car decal set that was advertised with TTA's. And could have been installed by the buyer or buyer's dealer or whomever.Which visually makes the Pace car a Pace car.
I'm certainly in the minority of this mindset but whether a kit was not shipped or shipped and the TTA eventually wound up with one, it, by proxy should always be part of the car...in as much as the dedicated 20th anniversary plug wires.
Right??
None the less, the reallity is some cars don't have them. And I just think it's a shame that kits are being held back when these cars are being sold so as to further dillute the value of them.
