I paid $3550 for a 90 with 80k in May. Needed a few things, including tires, but I have under 5k in it and it runs and drives great! 10k seems steep to me!
I thought it was very high. I ask him if the price was firm and he said he might move a little. Its been for sale for a few months. May be closer to winter he will be more motivated.

you may feel different if you were now selling your car

If you paid 3550 for a 90 , you got a deal.
10k for a pristine car with 50k that needs nothing assuming is a healthy price to me, maybe 1500 high.
Depends on how it drives, looks, feels, if it's one owner history etc.
I have a 90 , have done a few minor things but overall happy, it was the one owner history and it being garage kept in Florida that helped .

5 weeks ago I bought a 90 vert with 93K on the clock for $1600. The car had not been driven in 4 years and I had to drain the gas, replace the sender and went to a higher volume pump and charge the battery that was installed in 2008. The car started fine and runs good. I am doing a full restoration as a project with my son so we are gutting the interior, replacing motor with a 383, upgrading to a performance tranny, rebuilding full suspension, updating to C5 brakes, new wheels and tires and full paint. My budget is 24k and we are on target so far. Will I get what I invest, NO but my son will have a rock solid vette when he turns 16 in 3 years not to mention the time we get to spend working on it and all the cool new tools I keep buying as part of the deal.
C-4s in this area priced above 8-9k are sitting, and for a long time. The one I bought had been advertised for about 6 months, originally advertised at 6500.
Each area is different, but at least for this area 10k would be high.
I'll bet if you offered him $8,000 cash he would take it! Hoe=ws the interior? Make sure you take it for a test drive before you buy and get her up to operating temp and make sure everything works, especially the a/c!

If you got a 1990 with average (actually lower) mileage of 80,000 in May for only $3550.00, I'll bet it needed more than a "few" things. Most Corvettes in that price range are high mileage beaters or project cars. Usually another $5000.00 worth of repairs or cosmetics is needed to make it presentable or safe and dependable. But if you got it that cheaply and it really didn't need much, you stole it.

Same in AZ/Ca. Its easy to get a hard on for a particular car, but there are so many for sale and sitting for months. Generally the only people buying now are resellers, and they are learning about them the hard way. There's no need to get anything less than what you want for a very good price. That is not a very good price. If that car is in the Midwest (cold country) it probably won't sell for anything over $6k till spring. In a couple of weeks people will start storing them till spring. BTW, am I the only guy who sees something wrong with the odometer?
It's because the 1 is offset to the right. It's digital (I think liquid crystal) and not a font like on your phone or PC. The locations are hard coded in the glass and have spacing like the old typewriters. There are 3 sections to the digit, left, center and right. You can see it a little clearer on the big 0 MPH in the display.
