I paid $5900 for my 89 Last spring, It is not a convertible but it is a 6 speed with I was having a terrible time finding. It had about 100k on it but it was as nice as a 100k car could be. I think that 16K is a bit much but if it is perfect and what you are looking for then that is up to you. As for purchasing a C5 for 16K I am not sure where people are finding these cars. Any C5 I have seen for 16K has 150K on it or is salvage. I think you need to spend a little over 20 for a nice low mileage C5

I know of one dealer here in SLC that has one 98 and 2 99s (one is a manual vert), two of them manuals, all listed at $16,900 each. I spoke to the dealer last weekend and any could be had for just north of $15K, I'm looking hard at the 99 vert with 50K miles. I've seen them for less in the paper here. Just have to look a little harder........

Wonder where the OP went. Brand new member with only one post. Sounds to me like it's his car and he's looking for support on his pricing

thank you all for the input on this 89 vette i have been doing my homework here in fla and yes this is well over priced. i stoped a a vette parts shop in Dade city (corvette generation ) and had a long talk with the owner and he also told me that it was to much for that year even with the modifacations. so i gusee i will stay on a quest to find the right car... thanks again

Probably in a hurry. Many of us would be in trouble if we were graded on this forum.
