It should be noted that this Metro still wears the original Martin Chevrolet Geo dealer license plate frame from Torrance, California, and is also equipped with a dealer brand key chain. Collectors will be pleased with the large number of documents including dealer manuals, service manuals and original sales documents. Factory window stickers are also included, showing a suggested retail price of US$11,140 (US$17,745 in today’s US dollars). Monroney said that the subway has many options, including air conditioning, box-type AM/FM stereo, electric rear window defogger, and preferred equipment group 2 (easy-entry passenger seats, color-matched cushions and side moldings ).
Although Chevrolet has not developed a factory overhaul plan for Metro, the car is undergoing a mechanical update at the local dealership, including a new air pump and fuel tank cleaning. The value is more than $1,000.
With this recent service, this subway is a modern classic that the new owner can drive every day, although it will increase the mileage and may reduce the value of the car as history. This will be a difficult dilemma for the new owner, but it is certainly enviable.
