For a Ruby with less than 20k miles, with a few extras and in excellent condition.
I know that C4 prices are in the toilet, but this car should go for no less than $20k. No way would I let that go for $13k. JMO

I hear what you are saying Rik, I didn't like really lowballing like that but then again I am realistic. Ask yourself...would I buy a 93 Ruby for
$20k? at that price I would be looking into LT4's or even for a little more a ZR-1

hmmmm


No offense to the people posting, why post pic's of OTHER cars and prices that only takes away from HIS beautiful car!!!!!!

He has a relatively rare car, in Great shape, with THOUSANDS of upgrades(tasteful I might add) and is looking to sell it. Putting people to a GS or ZR1 sure doesn't help!!!!!


Good Luck my friend on a BEAUTIFUL CAR!

Cordially,

I agree. For a nice Ruby like that, I'll head down to the bank now and be in Ohio tommorow with 12.5 or 13k.
That car should get upper teens in the spring.

Be Patient,

Sorry if I started something. Thank all of you (even the ones who were rough on me).

Tha fact is, a car is only worth what someone is willing to give you. Also, if you HAVE to sell, your price will drop, in my case, I will advertise on Autotrader in the spring, and stick to my guns. If it doesn't sell, I will still baby it.

If someone is looking specifically for a Ruby, they will love this one.

You are right. The last thing I was trying to do was mess with someones sale.
I was just trying to justify a good price for his car. Not trying to rain on someones parade.
Sorry about that "zr2tim".

So how much do you want for the car?

I like Ruby Red Corvettes in great shape and may consider buying one if it's a good deal.
