Need Quick Advice
Just accidently found a 96 lt-4 six speed, polo green, tan interior, with 54,000 miles. It has been repainted, job cost 5600.00 and am told it looks perfect. It was not from an accident it was keyed in a parking lot. Interior is about a 8 out of 10. I know limited info but any idea's what it might be worth. It is a nice stock car. Know it does not mean that much but it has a clean carfax. Any help or idea's would be appreciated before I go look at it. It is a two owner car.
Thanks Jay
Also has both tops

Last year a '96 coupe, based on condition, "Corvette Enthusiast" listed it as going for:
$16.5k-good condition
$22k-excellent condition
The depreciation rate from the prior year was 7%.

$16K sounds real good if you can get it for that price. Be sure to drive it first or have someone who know's C-4's drive it for you.
Bets of Luck it is the right color combo.

I'd have a good body guy check the paint job out. I'd also put her up on a lift and have a good look for oil leaks and other possible problems with the frame. If this Vette checks out clean and runs good, I think a LT4 is a good deal with hard top and good soft top for 15K-16K. But everything has to work and no bad smells (as in flooded Vette)
