Reason: Changed Order of Pictures, Price change
Very clean car. If it hangs around until after we deal with our house purchase, any chance you would be willing to pick me up at the nearest airport? Would be a great fly and ride back to Wisconsin!

If its still for sale by then, contact me and I'll be happy to work something out with you
That is a really nice car. I always loved the look of these. Good luck with the sale. It seems so hard selling a C4 anymore and they are such good deals realistically.
Have the doors been repainted? Or the front and rear? It looks like the doors on both sides do not match the rest.
The hood and passenger door has been repainted after a van scraped the car in a parking lot (no damage other than cosmetic). I have the documentation that proves this! Paint on right rear quarter panel and drivers side door shows some age (like any car at 20 years old can do).
Everything in the car works, there's no damage anywhere, just the usual wear and tear seen on these cars. Recognizing that the car is not in perfect shape, even though everything is in working condition and the car drives very well and is 100% mechanically sound, I already have it priced WELL below KBB price of $7500. I understand KBB is not perfect, especially with corvettes, but I'm not sure where else you can get a 300+hp lightweight coupe for 6 grand!!
I also have the window sticker for the car (it is a reprint from the Corvette museum) and the 1996 collector's edition dealer book/brochure, as well as decent amount of documentation for the car (alignment, tires, etc). The car is originally from New Mexico and then Arizona, and was there until 2009 when I moved to Michigan. It has always been kept in a garage since I've owned it, and has never been driven in the Michigan winter. Hard to find southwest cars in Michigan!
I'm looking to sell the car as I'm ready to buy a chrome bumper C3 Corvette, in the rare chance that there's somebody out there willing to trade a C4+cash for the right C3.
I'm happy to answer any questions, I'm an honest seller who just wants their car sold!
Don't take my comments as a criticism as they are not meant that way at all. I think most C4s are the value of the hobby. People whine about how they miss the early '70s when you could buy C1s and C2s for $1800 to $2500. But realistically, figuring that $200 a week was pretty good pay in the early '70s ($5/hr, higher than many made), you were looking at 6 to 12 weeks with a pretty good paying job.
By the same yardstick, if you have an $800 a week job today (only $20/hour), the $4000 to $8000 C4s are only 5 to 10 weeks of pay, so they are actually cheaper relatively than the old ones in the '70s.
And you get 150 mph cars with 25-30 mpg economy that you can drive cross country in comfort with the air on. That is a heck of a deal.
And repainting silver is tough. Plus I see that stuff even when others don't. It is probably fine in regular light and in person and probably the majority will never see it.
You will all pass on this car until I get my house purchase complete.... This is not the awesome car you are looking for....
/Jedi mind trick...
J/K bud, free thread bump. I'd be really surprised if it doesn't sell soon, but the good news for me is if it doesn't, our house purchase and the VW TDI buyback are done about the same time. The trip back to central Wisconsin would be an awesome finally to a crazy year!
Car is sold! Thanks for everyone's feedback! Good luck Mr Angry at finding the right car for you.
Not sure if I need to delete this thread somehow or if the mods just close it?
