Re: Whats it really worth ? (Vsix)
18k? justa guess.
I would consider the car NEW with only 8k miles so if it's "mint" I think it'll go for over 15k. Some say with extremely low miles the car might have a lot of problems so you might want to think about that too. I say the lower the miles the better though

The May, 2004 issue of Vette magazine's pricing guide suggests an '85 coupe in excellent condition is worth $13k.

Re: Whats it really worth ? (Vsix)
Current issue of Corvette Enthusiast says "excellent" is $11,550. Not too bad for a "new" car.I read somewhere that the Vette price guide was flawed this year as they used some of the previous year data by mistake. See what your local Credit Union has to say. I'll bet it will be around $10,000.. :flag

Re: Whats it really worth ? (Vsix)
I am a car dealer from Houston, Tx. and a car like you are talking about is rare. I would say that it is worth every bit of $15K, but the problem is no one wants to buy an 85 for $15K. Hold on to it unless you want to sell it for far less than it is worth, It'll be worth alot more later on.

Re: Whats it really worth ? (Vsix)
I have seen some recently listed with 5,000 miles and 18,900 miles for 15K to 20K. These Corvettes were at Rogers Corvette Center in Maitland Florida.

Re: Whats it really worth ? (1996blklt4)
i wont buy it thou. It will start leaking everywhere...everything is dry...hoses gaskets ,not reliable..
How would changing the name on the title cause the car to "start leaking everywhere"?
I'm semi-serious here....if the car isn't leaking now, why should it leak when it's sold? Are there no fluids in it now??
If it's not the car you want, Vsix, leave it for someone who DOES want it.
