I know GS are collectible C4's but this is

Well, what would you pay for it?

Keith@VetteFinders

Condition 1 1996 Grand Sport Roadsters are in the $80,000 range now and the year to year appreciation is 8%. It's got a lot of options that make it unique and there's only 190 of them.

There were 53 GS verts with red interior and of those, 42 had the F45 suspension (as this one is configured). 80K may be high but $65-70 might be reasonable. And the car only has <7K miles.

Demonic85

$30K tops

batwing

He's right 30K tops....and they can be had for 30k

Muffin

I agree that is a lofty price but Rogers only sells top notch stuff. Someone will walk in and write a check some day.

I bet you can't find another GS Vert, with Red Guts and less than 7K miles for 30K or less....

MARKRUBYRED

But last year they were bringing 40K tops.

Dandy97

You might get a wrecked one for 30K.

C4's can be difficult to understand when deciding value. Many C4's are cheap and abundant and make excellent entry level Corvettes but I don't know that a GS vert like this has ever sold as low as $30K. You'd do well to find a low miles GS coupe for 30. A Grand Sport vert sold 2 years ago out west for $125K I think it was while Roger brought one with 6K miles up to the Bloomington Gold show this past June where it sold at auction for $80,850. A GS coupe with 168 miles brought $68,775 in the auction also. Just for contrast an 84 sold at this same auction for around $1500 and it drove up on the block. Overheard bidders joking about it saying the way to own a car like that is when the first thing breaks leave the keys in the ignition somewhere and walk away.

Whether you pay you pay $30k or $80k, a C6 still won't wave at you.

I dont care how rare they are, 80k is a friggin joke, its a GD C4 for chrissakes. I wouldnt pay half that, low mile vert or not...Hell, you could buy a house in some states for that

i understand and fully agree with the intent and point of the OP.

sometime back, i posted my opinion on rip-off joints such as rogers corvettes.

some folks got their panties in a real snitch about it, and decided to attack me personally, which of course i laugh off as idiocy and incompetence.

jack-offs like rogers are there to sell the mint mobile at 3x the value, acting like your best friend while certain snobby buyers gladly take it in the shorts because its more important for them to "be seen" at a plase like that, or boast about buying there because the money flies higher than their scrawny little brains; like the saying goes, some people have more money than brains. it's make-believe, self-annointed "prestige".

and if anyone has a problem with that, for sure go for it, bring it on

Greg Gore

I don't think Roger is doing anything wrong. He specializes in mint low miles stuff and there certainly are buyers out there in that price class. It takes a buyer and a seller to establish price history and real sales will always be governed by the laws of supply and demand. A 435 horse 1967 roadster sold at that same auction for $460,000. Some Corvettes will do this and some won't. As they say in the used car business.. there's a seat for every azz.

Show me and I will give you 10% finders fee. Waiting on your PM

RollaMo-LT4

You pretty much hit the nail on the head there....

Places like Rogers, Barret Jackson, etc. cater to a different crowd of people. Just about everyone in here actually drives their cars.

If you want a driver, Rogers and other places like his are the last place you want to go. But it's obvious that some people do buy from them, or they wouldn't still be in business.

Weather or not the car is actually worth it does not matter. There will be someone come along with the money, and will add it to his collection. It's so sad that nobody will ever really enjoy driving such a great car.

Greg Gore

This is the typical "gold chain" buyer who uses the car to enhance their image, not because they're a Corvette enthusiast. Chevy is well aware of them. The usual Corvette heritage was cleaned up a little in the C6 to help make the car a little more appealing upmarket. Many C6 owners are noobs and might not know they are supposed to wave.

Red Tornado

you got that right, i'll add "dumb" in front of "azz". another way of saying some people have more money than brains. and rogers, on the whole, is right there to corner that market and cater to that very crowd.

as for clowns like craig jackson (of barret-jackson), i don't like the SOB, for what he is and what he represents, as a matter of fact the ***** should be in jail.

Demonic85

If I had $80K to spend on a vette it wouldnt be a GS.
