Those are very high mileage and high price. I bought my '81 a couple of months ago. It is near mint with 1300 miles and I paid $1050. 2 of my buddies have an 80 and the other an 81 and they paid 550 and 750 respectively. Theirs had around 7k miles. Not sure if the prices fluctuate much around the country but I live in central IL and the near mint, low mile c 70s go for usually no more than 1300 bucks. The "average" ones around 7-900, and running but need a little work around 500. There are 5 of us in town with these and we ride together and are always shopping to see what's out there. Hope that helps

> Newbie here...looked for info on whats considered high mileage but didn't find much. I am looking at two 1981 C70's that appear to be in very good condition, but I am concerned about mileage and price. One has 11K and the other has 17K. He is asking 900 for each. The price seems high but I was gonna try and haggle it down to buy both. Any advice on mileage and pricing would be great. If this has been covered and someone can send me the link I that would be great too.
