The lack of interest may be several reasons. 1) its a '97, and most people try to stay away from the first year of a new model because they tend to have the most bugs. 2) the damage to the rockers is fairly extensive and will require some pretty expensive repairs. And 3) the entire front will need to be repainted and getting a perfect match is difficult to do and expensive. I wish you luck in selling.

I considered this C5. The only thing that held me back was the mileage. Otherwise very sharp. All the mods are tasteful.
Might just have to get creative with your ads, more exposure .. and once there is solid interest just incent the buyer. That or take a trade or trade into something you can sell easily.

Thanks for the comments guys. To address some of the issues you brought up for others who may be looking:
Rocker Damage - I think I am making it look worse than it is in the pictures but wanted to fully disclose all of the car's shortcomings. The damage is virtually unnoticeable unless the car is up in the air. For this reason, I had never gotten it repaired and don't think it needs to be addressed unless you are looking for a 10 out of 10 car.
High Mileage - I bought the car at 120k from the original owner and was a little concerned with the mileage as well. However, once I learned how the miles were put on (highway) and that the car had full service records along with lots of recent work done by a certified Corvette mechanic I was sold. Personally, I would prefer a well cared for car with 140k miles over a car with 60k miles that's had a rough life.
Anyone else has any questions please feel free to ask... still for sale!
