Hello everyone. My friend is interested in this Corvette and wants me to go with him to look it over tonight.

I don't know much about C4s so any input would be greatly appreciated as to what to look for. Owner says that the battery drains after the car sits for a few days (not sure if there is a draw on the battery when car is off?).

Not a bad price. Shouldn't drain after only a few days! Make sure you take it for a test drive and run through all the gears and see how it shifts and get it up to operating temp. Also ask to see the maintenance records.

I've never seen a C4 with C5 seats in it before!

Me either, are they true seats? or C5 covers over C4 foams? interesting.

Turn the wheel as soon as you start the car to see if there is a sticky spot in the rack, this is a common problem. It only shows up after the car has been sitting for hours.
Hit him at $7500 and go from there.

nobody pays KBB in this economy or close to it.
Got a short or draw in the system for sure you good with electrical or know someone who is?

Don't let a parasitic drain kill the deal their easy to find. I would offer 6k for a 100k mile car.

i would start in the 6500 area and wouldnt go above 7000-7500 for the car with that many miles and nothing special about it, and it has at least one known problem.
i would guess they would be happy to get 7500 for it. every c4 for sale i have seen has always had the asking price dropped pretty significantly after it has sat without offers for a while

The way I read the ad:

1993 - 20 years old.
6 speed manual transmission - hope the clutch isn't original. If it is $$$.
Adult owned - so? That could be a 21 year old.
Late model black leather seats - not a factor
Upgraded alloy wheels - are they quality upgrades? Only a small factor with me.
New rear tires - nice! But what about the fronts? Why did it need new rears? What the 'adult owner' lighting them up in the street?
100,500 miles - it has crested the 100k mark. WP, Opti, timing cover seals?
Garage kept - how many owners? Did all keep it garaged??
Comes with high end car cover - so? I'm buying a car, not a cover.
Eligible for Maryland Historic Tags!

This well-kept Corvette can be yours for less than Kelly Blue Book - $8,750, bring offers. Enjoy the beautiful summer weather with the glass top off and the wind in your hair. I am confident that you will be pleased with this vehicle. I am selling it because I need the garage space. - if he needs garage space there's a possibility that it hasn't been "garage kept" as of late.

IMO offer $6,500 and don't go higher than $7k.
