I think that I would go with 16k. That good for considering low mileage and yellow.

Millenium Yellow? When/why was the car repainted, or is it the original Competition Yellow? I don't want to be nit-picky but if it's a real Millenium Yellow, it's been repainted, and that might prove to be a bad thing. Sometimes a repaint is a signal that it's been in an accident. Good luck. :cheers:

BTW, I love the yellow C4s, they look great. I wouldn't pay more than $17,000 for it, but that's the Texas market; they're much more expensive here than in other states.

I agree Millenium Yellow is not stock on a C4, but Competion Yellow is. Could be something, could be nothing, but I would double check that. :yesnod: Everything else sound great. :cheers:

Just me personally but if I were to buy one in that year range Id get a '96. That way you can get the LT4 engine. :yesnod: :yesnod: :yesnod: :blueangel:

18.9K is NADA retail for the car. Somewhere between 16.2K and 18.9K would be a fair price IF:
1)You really like the color-1,003 were made
2)The car is in excellent condition
3)You really, really, REALLY want it... :D

Let us know how it turns out!
:cheers:

Where oh where did i come up with millenium yellow ?? :lol:
You're right - of course comp. yellow :D
Am in touch with seller - price has not been discused yet ( he wants 18.900$).
And yes ... i do WANT it !!!
Reason for the choice :
95: Connecting rods are powdered coated - latest ABS/ASR
Z07 : Car will be driven in Germany - need firm suspension due to higher speeds
LT1 : LT4 has higher comp. - needs higher octane ( reg is 93 and super 95 - at 4.10$ a gallon will run her on regular )
yellow : after owning blk/blk cars am just sick of trying to keep em clean and the yellow just is outstanding with chrome ZR mags !!

If a 96 CE with a LT1 & MN6 were avail. - that would be a prize also .

As soon as deal is through - will post it ASAP .
If fails - read in the onion newspaper of man jumping out of basement window !! :smash:
Will he be able to master the wave ? :rolleyes:
Thanks for the input !! Laughed and learned alot about Vette's and their quirks ( and owners )ever since i stumbled apon the forum !!
