Probably not without the LT4 option. You should be able to get $19k to $20k for it in the condition you describe.

I agree, assuming you don't need to sell it this month....
(the more you want for it, the longer you should be prepared to wait...)

But, seeing as how you only paid $16.5 for it a few months ago, I doubt if the worth of the car has jumped that much that quickly.

IMHO....for $23K , you would need to find a buyer who is only interested in a C4. Anything over $20K is getting into the used C5 price range. You may get what you are asking tho, especially considering the extremely low mileage of your Vette! Good luck

Didn't you just buy it within this past year? What did you pay for it?

Wasa matter? Did your brothers Caddy smoke your Vette?

If so, time for a couple of Mods to that babay.

I recently sold a top dollar 96 coupe for 16K an 57.5 k miles. So good luck on your quest. And what do you have to add to the value beside the red paint???

You are assuming that he actually had a caddy to race...

Just wondering. Some people have asked me what I would sell it for.
I think I actually got a good buy at 16.500k for a 96' with only 14k miles now on it. I thought that it might be worth at least 20k?? Its flawless and needs nothing. Thats got to be worth a little more...
