From the pictures it looks stock and clean. Any history on it? If it checks out the price seems very fair.

That seems to be a good deal. I got my 94 a couple of years ago, with 97,000 on it and I couldn't be happier.

Assuming the title is clean (not stolen or salvage) and it runs and drives well, I'd jump all over it for that price. Very nice looking car.

Car has a clean title and Carfax, no issues. I would be the third owner.

Big difference "fer sher"
We're a 2-vette family; my wife owns a 69 vert, and mine first C4 was a 95 coupe/M6. You'll find the C4 to be comparatively refined, and the handling to be a big leap forward! But, the C3 has it's own charm. I tell my wife that her car is "rude, crude, and socially unacceptable...and I LOVE IT!" I guess I'm trying to say that you will be thrilled with the C4/LT1.
Now, going to a whole new level of C4, there is the ZR-1... I test drove one and never looked back!

I went through the same last year when I bought my C4.
The 1st change I made was getting rid of the factory radio and boise speakers. Why would you want to reverse? A factory replacement radio will cost more than a much better aftermarket.

Looks like a nice C4, but then again I'm partial to black. Offer $6,000 and see if he agrees.

Good price (even if there are hidden needed repairs--excluding flood damage or salvage title, of course..)!

I'd say you got a pretty good deal - even for this economy.
Now we need more PICS!!!
