Default Whats it worth?

I'm trying to gauge a price for what a 94 Corvette is worth. Its all stock with auto, targa top, leather, dual power seats and cd. It has 67k on it.

Tires are like new, there are no known issues with the car. There is some wear on the drivers seat bolster, otherwise the car shows very well inside and out. All fluids look new.

KBB says about $9500, but I suspect it should be more in the $10-12k range. What do you guys think?

Why do you think it should be more than KBB, even if excellent?

Is this a private deal or a dealer? Is there a warranty included if it's a dealer? Where is the car be sold?

With this economy you may be lucky to find a buyer for KBB price. Its worth what someone is willing to put in your hand cash. Good Luck.

I paid about half of what (KBB, well actually NADA) was listing at the time... The market is horrible for sellers...

You should look at what cars you can buy in the $10-12k range. Lots of nice LT4's or 'verts for that price. C5's are creeping towards that price range as well.

KBB and NADA are generally pretty liberal in their pricing. In mosts cases you can always buy a car for less than what they say.

I was guessing above KBB because everything i've seen listed on the local market has been above it. I've searched cars with similar miles and they all around 12k, thats why I was asking about if KBB is accurate on pricing or not. Thanks for the feedback!

You have to remember KBB and NADA are written to benefit the Automobile Dealers. They are just a guide and not a bible. In some cases a car may be worth more but very seldom.

So you are saying you are not old ? It is never to late to take a typing course.
