Not a "bad " deal, but talk him down.

Nice Range

Can't make out the numbers/letters on the ID plate, but I'd judge this to be a 1966 model.

I like the GE P-7 Range that I used to see in the ad, when General Electric first introduced the Self-Cleaning Oven...  

 

My parents saved about 3/4 of a newspaper from Nov. 1963 when Pres. Kennedy was killed, and there's that almost full-page advertisement, complete with a "Mini-Oven" product demonstration at Hudson's...

 

Now that actual range, with the pushbuttons along each burner, the Sensi-Temp, Start & Stop Timer, Oven Thermometer, Light Switch on the Oven Door, and maybe even WITHOUT that 2nd Oven & Facade over the cooking surface--and in TURQUOISE!--...now THAT I want to see!!!!

The burners on this model should be the Tilt n Lock type, hard-wired, with removable trim rings and reflector pans.  IF the Sensi-Temp burner is working properly it should also match this description.  With the exception of the ST burner, replacements can be found online for burners that do not work and replacement is not difficult.  The top does not lift up, it is a one-piece upswept porcelain top and cleaning the subtop must be done through the open burner ports (unless you want to disassemble the top from the range.

 

I was thinking this one says it is still connected so operation(s) could be verified by the buyer before purchase.  Did I misread?

Also

The date code looks to be BZ, and that would indicated 1966.  And regarding the price - what's it worth to you?  If you are wanting a vintage range with the features that this one has and you are close enough to go get it, the asking isn't so unreasonable IMO.  But there's nothing wrong with offering the seller less - if he/she wants to sell it badly enough I'm sure the price is negotiable.

Before offering anything, look at the liner in the master oven. If it has surface rust on the porcelain or if the porcelain is very dull, it has been cleaned a lot. That would be an opener for offering the seller less than the asking price. Ditto for the oven racks. They are going to be dull, but should not be rusty.

If you like the range up close, and personal,  pull a $100.00 bill out of your pocket and offer it to the seller. All they can do is say no....
