Yellow is great -- lots of good deals on C4's right now. I just bought a 93 with 34,000 miles for $11,900 so this car you mention has double the mileage but its two years newer. Yellow seems to bring a premium as well plus what options does it have? I'm not sure I would get into a C4 now for $16,000 with 61,000 miles they keep dropping like rocks. I think there are better deals out there but that is JMHO.

I like yellow! You have to decide how much you want the car and then decide if you can live with the price.

:iagree:
I don't think it's a bad price. It depends on what similiar cars are going for in your area. It's right in line with the prices in my neck of the woods. Yellow will definitely get people's attention (including the police).

$15,900 seems okay, but you can probably do a little better - I imagine they will come down a little bit. There was a yellow LT4 coupe on Ebay, the bidding only got to $18,000 but it didn't meet its reserve. The buy-it-now was $22,000. That extra $6,000 would have been well worth it, IMO :thumbs: Here is the link if you want to see it... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2413983343

Check out Ebay, http://www.rogerscorvette.com (although his prices are generally high, but he does have a '95 yellow coupe right now), http://www.konkens.com (they just sold a yellow '95 coupe I think), there are so many other ones, I don't know where to start. The autotrader might be a good one, too, you can search by color.

My personal opinion about yellow... look at my signature :) It's my favorite color, period :auto: :seeya

Mike

No better color. The only problem with it is the bugs love it as much as I do. At the last skyline drive, out of 20 vettes a goog 10-11 of em were red. Guess who had the only yellow :yesnod: When I get a ZO6 guess which color I'm getting? YELLOW! :flag

So does this mean we're done with L98 vs LT1? Also, you only need to post your topics in ONE forum, not all of them. You know the rules.

I've owned 2 yellow C4's and loved them. I will say driving a yellow vette, people notice you immediately! If you like attention, you'll love it. Good luck getting it! Try to get the dealer to come down a little bit more maybe to $15K. But if you like, get it! :cheers:

I like yellow! Check out the RPO's in the hatch behind the drivers seat and see if there are mods that would enhance the value to you.

Then see if it's worth it to you.
