Corvette value low miles
I'm looking for a Corvette 1980-81-82 years with real low low miles (less than 20,000).
Which do you think is the value?
I'm a member of Corvette Club Italia and I know a Corvette value in Italy and here there aren't a low miles Vette!!!
Thanks all
Bye

I have an 80 L82 with 16,000 miles original throughout. I picked it up in march for $10,000US. It needed paint but nothing else. Make sure you get documentation to prove mileage. I received the build sheet, dealer order, window sticker, original tires along with previous titles showing mileage. Below 20,000 miles in very good condition is probably around 15-20,000.

Hopefully they keep appreciating. I've turned down better than $40K for my 450 mile '82 CE. I may live to regret it someday, but my gut tells me that super low mileage cars can survive a small market correction.
