Assuming the Corvette is a coupe with the black interior and no electronic suspension, I'd think between $9 and $10 K would be a good price. I'd go toward the top if it had "interesting options" like a red interior and/or the spare tire delete and toward the lower end if it had the electronic suspension (that is costly to service/maintain). That said, four years ago I bought a GM owned '96 CE 'vert with the hardtop and less than 10K miles for twice the above. How much do you want the car??

I wouldn't pay that much because it's got 100,000 miles on it. It would have to be a breezer, FX3, Sport Seats, Bose Gold, Performance axle and a nice color with newer tires and all records.

It has black interior hardtop, not sure about spare tire delete or electronic suspension. Does anyone know the RPO code off hand for either?? I can do with or without the car. I just always liked them. Maybe I will just lowball. If I get it cool if not no biggie.

The agreed upon price between buyer and seller. That's what it is worth.

Not to sound rude, but the market for these cars are soft. Having said that, an intelligent buyer and seller, given an arms length transaction, will agree to a price or one will walk away.

When you buy or sell anything, the agreed upon price is based on supply and demand.

Since you are asking, you may want to bring someone out with you to look it over who is familiar with the C4 market and cars in general to look it over.

yup agreed, although I used to be a mechanic I'm not super familiar with the C4 vette, however I'm very familiar with LT1 based drivetrain.

The 96 LT4 and ZF manual is a great platform. The CE's are all silver; rather desirable C4.

I run the ZF manual retro fitted in my 85 and love it. Most will tell you it is probably the best manual put in any Vette; ever.

I am surprised someone supercharged a CE car, but it may be a well maintained and well worked over modified car (like mine).

The C4 gets an unfair and silly bad rap. These cars handle and drive great; a real blast to drive; especially with a manual with an LT4. I have driven high priced C1-C2 cars that don't go, stop, or steer like you would hope and quite frankly are not fun to drive.

What are they asking? How long has the supercharger been on it?

He's asking $9500. Supercharger has been on it since 2014 but just over 1,000 miles since on. I had a lt1 Camaro with a pro charger on it for thousands of miles beat the ***** out of it and never missed a beat. Only pushing 5lbs of boost on the vette as well as my old Camaro. I can probably get a decent deal on the car. Sub 9k I would imagine

CE's do bring a premium. Because of the mods, and if its in nice shape, 9k is definitely fair in my opinion.

You are correct, all CEs were Silver with silver 5 spoke wheels and Black, grey or red leather interiors. All the convertibles had black soft tops also.

Mileage is to high! Parts are hard to find at a fair price. If you have the time and mechanical skills it might be an okay purchase. Do not go by the auction prices because you can do better your self one on one. There are low mileage cars fairly priced out there. Good Luck
