You really had to go there? Really??
What a tool.
Let's see, $1.99 ethanol free premium, cheaper C4's vs. $4.25/gal regular with corn, massive unemployment, and endless MidEast war. Oh yes please take me back to the Rebloodlican wet dream.
Because the poor are too rich, and the rich are too poor.
I can call you a stupid tool too .... See how that works ???
Regardless of your political affiliation, some of those prices reek of desperation. Especially the 8k 94 car and the 13k c5 with the 52k miles on it.

That makes me a digital micrometer vs. you - a hammer!You and I will not change our positions. Which is why I don't bring up such b.s. to begin with.
Here's another good looking deal nearby, a '94 for $5,500. Owner desperate to sell before the Donald becomes prez.
And if you don't mind a salvage title, you can get a nice 2007 C6 here for $13,995.

Yes, it works a treat! Can you say "smart enough to know where off-topic is located?" That makes me a digital micrometer vs. you - a hammer!

Hello everyone,
I am hoping I can get some good opinions and gain some knowledge before I make a purchase.
Having never owned a Corvette I am wondering if the price if 13.5K is fair. I looked at the value on KBB but it shows nothing more than 10K. Is there another place I can get a more accurate value?
Thank you everyone.

Whenever your looking to buy a used car there are several important things you should do unless you don't mind getting peeled.
1- Be patient and look at a lot of cars.
2- Have your cash or financing lined up before you even start looking.
3- Be willing to travel in the event you find the right car. Its almost always worth it.
4- Know exactly what you want; when you do then you wont hesitate to pull the trigger when you find it.
5- Don't commit one single cent to the purchase of any deal (no matter what) until you actually see the car. There is an extremely high probability there is no car and your being scammed. Just assume everything is a scam until your standing in front of the actual car.
6- Unless the seller is a large dealership (over 100 cars in inventory) then demand to see the title. A seller that cannot produce a title very well may not have one.
7- Any title that has liens on it should be discussed in detail exactly how the liens are being paid off. Anything but a clear and concise answer as to how lienholders are being paid is not good. Personally I tend to want to deliver a certified check directly to a lienholder and the difference to the seller.
8- Be ready to walk away. There will be another car. Guaranteed.

And, then there's the mechanical evaluation.
My suggestion too is to find someone who is a C4 Corvette owner and knowledgeable about these cars to have with you to take a good look-see. That kind of money is pretty steep for a base C4 of that age. So, it better be friggin' perfect, including new tires, brakes, fresh carpet...the works. And, it is still high in most markets.

I am interested in a '93 Corvette I saw listed on Facebook.

For reference, I paid just under $12K for my C4 (Admiral Blue 6 speed) with at-the-time 40K miles back in Sept. '13 and I thought that was fair. Does the seller have one top or two tops? Has anything major been replaced?
If it's a clean car, offer $11,500 and see what happens.

I bought a 1995 Base Coupe, from the original owner, in July this year. Near perfect Bright Aqua Metallic auto, 33,000 miles, for $10k. Bought my last 95 with 84,000 for 5k a couple years back, spent almost $4k sorting it out. Don't go crazy, unless it is ready to go, and it is the car you really want.
