here's a laugh for ya
A guy from Boston called me about my 91 C4 ....it has 73000 original miles 6 speed..5.7 liter w/alum. heads....it's red w/targa roof and except for a few sun spots on the paint in really nice shape. This clown drives 5 hours to my house after i told him $10,000 on the phone and gets out his little car price book and tells me it's only worth $8200 and knock off another $1000 because the tires are worn and starts writing out a check for $7200 like im gonna get on my hands and knees and praise the lord for letting me see the light....i hope he had a nice 5 hr ride home....the :jester

Used Car Consumer Prices

1991 Chevrolet CORVETTE
Coupe 2 Door Hatchback
71,000 miles
Low Retail Average Retail High Retail
Base Price $11,625 $13,625 $14,850
Mileage Adjustment
71,000 miles add: $581 $581 $581
Total Price $12,206 $14,206 $15,431
$8,500 KBB in excellent shape.... looks like he was going for the KBB price and then he wanted to deduct $1,000 for tires, that was his logic anyway.....
You should be able to get $10,000 but the market is tough. I just picked up a 93 with 34,000 miles for $11,900.

Yea the guy turned out to be a dealer, but on the phone he made it sound like he really wanted the car for himself. To all you car dealers out there: Please bring your own vasoline....thankyou :seeya

That guy is a twit. It seems to me that wholesalers and dealers have quite the attitude, lie regularly, and they screw the public.....its their nature and their business :U
