1996 Corvette Value?
There is a dealers add in our newspaper this morning for a 96 auto white/red int $5888. I called the dealer and he said it is straight but has 300K miles on the clock./ I am going to look at it. Is this a good price if it is fairly decent? Thanks for the info. The dealer just called me back and said the paper was wrong and the price should be $7777 is that still a fair price?

Don't think it is a good deal.
I would be very careful with that type of mileage. Many big ticket items could be ready to break. Ask for service and maintenance records. Even still, it's hard not to think some major issues are about to happen. A '96 at that price is almost telling you this negative information. C4's at very low prices like this probably are bad risks. And you could easily be faced with spending more than the selling price to correct major problems that most likely are going ot happen in the near future. Plus forget any resale value with these miles too.

If you always wanted a corvette and you can only come up with $5,000 or $6,000, then that may be ok.
Ready for repairs, yes.
Any corvette for only 5 or 6 grand is ready for repairs.
7 or 8 grand........tell him to honor the first price, or walk.
If you can manage 8 or 9 grand, you can get an early C4 corvette with a third the miles, in really great shape.
