1990 Vette base- $5k
Vert plus $2k
6 spd plus $1k
135k mile minus $1k

I'd go $7k
$ you'll put into it $5k

With 135k miles, I would not believe the "not driven in the rain" part.
Not that it really makes any difference at that mileage.

You don't get 135k miles on a car by being a garage queen.

averages to 6700 miles a year, so if not a daily driver, sure you can; Weekend cruiser averaging 125 miles a weekend is easy to do without taking in the rain, although like you said, who cares. Last I checked, Chevys don't melt

There's always at least one that comes in and posts a low number. I can beat that... $2k tops... (heavy sarcasm).

$1999.99..........[/sarcasm]

There is nothing stating anymore about the condition of the car.

If you find an enthusiast that has rebuilt all the major systems and the thing is standing tall, $5k may be a bit low.

If the car has been neglected and they just repaired things when they "broke"....then Maybe $2k is too high.

At this point, my Garage queen has proven to need almost one of everything even though it had 62k on it when I got it. 30k mile later.....I've been "through" this car.....and not all my repairs are "correct"....meaning...even though I replaced the plastic gears in the headlight...it was sticking last evening and had to be "helped" to get it to close.

So, I'd ask things like...when was the Clutch replaced...have the half shafts been rebuilt...etc....

Couldn't agree more, best answer so far.

Oh, and documentation of those repairs... that's huge.

I would also go with the 7k price range, maybe up to 8k depending on a number of factors like wheel, tire and top condition, do all the accessories work. Could be worth less if some of things need to be fixed or replaced.

I would say the 5-6 is what you could sell it for. Some people think the C4 prices have come back up, which they have a little, but not enough to put you much above 7. If some bidders have spring fever you could get close to 7 on a no reserve auction.
