Default 95 Coupe?

I have a friend that has a 1995 Coupe, 33,000 miles, white exterior, gray leather interior, has had the engine gone through, new tires, paint needs buffing, interior would need going through, says it's all original. I have ridden in the car, and it runs very strong for a an LT-1. I know nothing of C4's (currently own a C2), but he would like to get $14,000 - $15,000 for it. I haven't asked him to take any pics or provide any numbers yet, I want to first find out if this is a reasonable price. Any help would be appreciated!

Sorry about the C3 thing rocco16

It's in the high end of the range. It really depends on just how much "buffing" the paint needs and how much "going through" the interior requires.
Corvette Magazine recently put the 1995 coupe at $15,900 in average condition. That's generally accepted to be dealer price.

Also, the average Corvette doesn't need its paint buffed out or the interior brought up to snuff. Sounds like this one didn't receive much TLC....?

FYI: it's a C4.

With regard to your inquiry about price.

We just bought 95yellowvet for 10K from the site here. It was a killer deal. Maybe I was just on the **** site at the right time.

We brought the car over from Port Angeles today (shipped from Pennsylvania). It is a beauty. Very nice wheels, new tires, spotless interior, excellent paint.

So, maybe this will give you some ideas.

that's what I was wondering... why would you need to do anything to the motor (other than mods) with that low of miles on it?

I agree, this would be at the high end of the price range from the description. I have a 95 comp yellow vert with 50,xxx miles and would think I could get about 14,xxx for it. More desirable color and a vert. I would think, from the description, about $12-$14, depending on overall condition. JMO.
