well, I did it. I sold my beautiful 88 convertible today. 16k original miles. Ncrs top flite a few years back. Real nice looking car. Good luck to the new owner. But I'll be back. As soon as the C7 comes out, C6 prices should fall a little. So I may get the fever again. I can't wait.

That must be a low fever. 16,000 miles is nothing for a 25 year old car.

after nine years of wonderful ownership, I decided to let her go. I'm going to be doing a home renovation soon and, I could use my garage space for storage and whatever else. Besides, I've been wanting to get into something newer. So, we'll see what happens after the home update. Looking to get into a C6 GS after the new one comes.

I hope you didn't give it away! On this forum it happens everyday. A 1988 former top flite winner convertible with that VERY low mileage definitely put it into the desirable category making it worthy of bringing a higher sales price. I would estimate it at $12,000.00 plus everyday of the week.
