Default Worthy Purchase?

Im thinking of buying a '95 C4 and I wanted to know what you guys think. It has a LT1 with 6sp., 49K miles, Boe CD/Cass., Glass Top, Black leather interior - $19,895. Is this worth buying at its price? :confused:

Little on the high side. I paid $22k for my '95 almost three years ago with 57K.

The C4 market just isn't that great right now. I'd offer $16,500 and go from there.

Yeah, that might be a little on the high side... a couple grand on the high side. I'd look for maybe $15,500-$17,000. from a dealer. But if it is a very mint car that has all the right options I'd be will to pay a couple of grand extra for it.
I found my vette on the net (autotrader.com) I looked for about a year and a half before I found it. Bought it from a private party and saved (I think) 3-4 k It's a 1989 White Convertible with the corvette Blue interior, 6 sp. all options except the luggage rack. Even has a engine block heater! Anyway... good luck

I'm no expert but I think that is a little high, even if it's in great shape. I don't think I would pay more than 18,500, but start lower and see what happens. Good Luck. :seeya

I've seen two LT4 cars go for less than that around here. One was a CE and the other a Polo Convertable. :eek:

White with a BLUE interior?!?!?! :U

As for the car, I paid about that much for mine, but mine has 31K on the odometer, two tops, and is an auto. Drive it, if you like it try to bargain. If the seller is firm, then buy it if it's affordable to you.

I think that you can get a LT4 car for that. I personally would rather have an LT4 with a few more miles. Dont ya hate when people try to talk you out of a car you like. Good luck shoppin. :D
