Current LT4 Values
A few days ago someone posted the current prices of the C4 ZR1s. As I haven't been subscribing to any of the Corvette Magazines lately does anyone know what they are showing for the 1996 LT4s? More particular for the LT4 convertibles. I've looked at some of the online used car sites, but was curious what the Corvette Magazines were estimating their values at.

Unless your car is a low mileage (under 10K miles) and 97 point or above car, you won't get $29K (or $26,750 which is what is stated for Collector's Editions with LT4s). With over 70K miles, your car is more likely in the "average" category - meaning about $15-16K.

If I could get 15-16K for mine today I would sell it and get a C6...That would be MAD profits over what I bought it for...

You can't compare your car with PLRX's car. Your car has more miles (81K) and your car is not a collector's edition. So based on the table, your car would be between fair and good and would likely be valued at about $11K to $12K. Again, that's based on the tabled values.

I think the prices in that magazine are what a dealer might "ask" for it. Not what it will actually sell for.
The economy is pretty crappy. I would say a very clean 96 LT4 'vert with 45K would go in the mid teens (14-17K). Dealer might ask $20k.
For the coupe version, I'd say low to mid teens (12-15K) is what it will actually sell for.
Actually selling for 29K? LMAO. The only C4 that could still fetch $29K would probably be a low mileage show condition Grand Sport or a 94 or 95 ZR-1.
Sorry, but the economy is in schambles right now unfortunately. I know a lot of us don't wanna hear the truth, but it is what it is.

Those values are so out of touch it's not even funny. I've seen sub 20K mile LT4 ragtops sell for under $20K. I bought my pristine yellow LT4 ragtop for less than there #2 classification.
