Looks to be well maintained. Wheels need to be swapped around.

Pretty good shape for its age
Slight sunburn on the seats and console no big deal

Little high on price but for a well kept one & if its close may be worth it
SO many of these are roaches, cobbled up stuff its a pain the azz sorting through

Make sure the electronics work well, doesnt get too hot and ac blows real cold and stays that way.

Wonder if it has the 3.07 or 2.59 gear someone will post an RPO code for it that is under the console lid. makes a huge difference

Looks nice and well kept. Mostly original too. I'm not too crazy about the job on the reupholstered seats and the ad says it's leather? Looks like they're done in vinyl from what I can see. I would suspect that the leather grip on the steering wheel is not in great shape under that cover either. Relatively small items, but those are just the things that popped out at me.

I think it's fine with the price its listed at. Actually, if it were mine I'd list it higher. Buying Corvettes at bargain basement prices means its usually a car that should be left in the basement.

If youre ok with it look at it asap. If its a keeper it will go quick even if its more than what youd see on a forum. Still plenty of nice ones reasonable but how many are close and call your name?

Looks like a nice car...well kept. I think the seats are fine too. If you like it go look at it and take it for a ride. Price is fair and you can always make an offer. Most people list at a price knowing they will come down a bit...

Better than average looking for an early C4. Steering wheel should be replaced/restored. Seats look original but need a good leather reconditioning.

Sport Seats, look good, I'd be calling if in my area. Nothing wrong with the L98. The 87 has roller tappets.

Carfax is cool and all but know it doesnt report everything my own DD is proof of that. Just cause its had a fender bender doesnt mean its no good. According to AAA most cars have had one every 4 yrs so dont let it hold you back. AAA can also tell you a little history if youre a member

most important thing is to see and drive it that will tell you everything even if youve never driven a C4 one can tell fast if its a rattling beat up bucket most dont look as good in person as in pics. If it does its a blessing so if buying long distance figure its worse

It it were me get some cheap wanna be red sheepskins and drive the sucker til its dead. $30 at the local flea market or ebay

Why would someone want to go to a flea market and buy some "wanna be red seat covers" for a car this nice, and drive it "till it's dead"? This car has obviously been well looked after. I think it's extremely sharp. I bet someone buys it and keeps it as a weekend cruiser or hobby car. Not just something to drive until it falls apart.

thanx for all the replys and looks like I was kidding myself in thinking I could settle for red interior not bad mouthing the ones that like it , its just not me. Had my mind made up for black interior, so that's what it needs to be!! exterior color really doesn't matter, and BTW Ive been seeing many that have red interior and few with black, so the search goes on .
