Default 1988 35th

I recently bought a 42k mile 1988 35th Anniversary automatic with all paperwork and documentation because it was a good deal. The wife lost her **** because I already have 3 others Corvettes.

I paid $9k and shipping is $650 so I have $9,650 all in. I should be able to get my money back, right?

4 Vettes are a problem? I'd keep it! LOL! If the car is clean and original you own it right.....just a question as to finding a buyer to get out of it. Never easy finding buyers for a C4.....even a 35th. Good luck!

I'd guess you can get your money back, are the three other Vette's nicer then the one you just bought?

2 Vettes is all I have room for and would never store a third outside even with a cover. My 35th is one of the 2.

I don't think they do returns on mail order brides man. You might be stuck with her.

I have a 2013 427, a 1971 454 BB convertible, and a 1966 convertible.

I do love the 35th. I had one back in college and I still feel butterflies when I see them.

Well, you got a good deal on the car and you should be able to get your money back out of the car. But maybe after your wife sees the car and rides in it she will change her mind.

Depends on what the wife's worth, doesn't it? Is replacement an option?

Like you did, you have to figure out what it is worth around your area unless you want to ship and the buyer is willing to do that.

It sounds like a really nice car, and we'll bought, but also a hard car to move. There are quite a few nice ones for sale at dealers that don't seem to ever sell.

I think the vast majority of buyers will not pay a premium for the 35th models.
