I enjoy Corvette Magazine, but they should start listing prices of what C4s actually sell for like they do with C1s and C2s.

Id say the "needs TLC' privces are a little high but the rest of the categories....WAY high. No way I could ever get 28k for my car, if I could it would be gone tomorrow.

The table and local (Houston) free-market values are two different things (table = MUCH higher).
However, in an interesting side note, the state of Texas has decided that most everybody cheats on their stated sales value when they transfer car titles after a sale (probably true). Further to that, the state now tells buyers how much the buyers paid (ain't government bureaucracy wonderful?).
The state of Texas told me (and I'm not allowed to argue) that my '95 LT1 coupe was worth some $3K more than I paid for it (I just transfered the title Friday). I think they use the tables in this post....

Dave - you should know better than to ask about C4 values here on this forum. No where on earth will you find so many people who think C4s so worthless as here on this forum. I always thought that was kind of strange, given that we're all supposed to be C4 enthusiasts here.
Fact is, I suspect those prices are a bit optimistic, but starting in about April or May those will be the prices dealers will be asking at the retail level. And, at least early in the season, I suspect they will sell some C4s up near those numbers.

Everyone likes to think their car is "good condition" but chances are. . .it is only "average" in this context. In this case, a good condition car would likely have zero paint chips, no paint color fade, an interior that is like new, it would be 100% original, and more. Very few of us have above average cars, no matter how much we think we do, and in this table "good" condition is "above average". With that in mind, your 12k selling price would be right on. I know. . .my 88 has only 52k miles and has been a garage queen most of it's life, still, it would only be average in this context.
