Can you post a picture of your interior. That is a pretty rare combo for a vert! Very cool ...

As far as it's rarity - there were 2354 (21.2%) Black convertibles in 1998, and there were 1289 (11.6%) convertibles made with the Pewter interior. By extropolating - it comes out to around 273 black convertibles with a Pewter interior.

I got my 2000 torch red coupe with 39k on it for 21K, but it from the auction and needed some work, brakes, tires, (wheels hee hee) and a good detailing.
I was skeptical about the gray myself, always having black in my other cars...but I like it.
for a mint 02, 30k sounds good to me...
just my 2¢

When I bought my 02 vert I had a choice of grey or black and much perfered the grey. I like the contrast it gives.
I think there are alot more black/black on the market which sort of makes mine unique.
It's all a matter of preference.

would a grey interior deter you from buying it?
No longer will I own a car that has a single color interior.With the C5 (except for the Shale interior), the top half of the interior is still black.
And you can buy black floor mats to give continuity

Those are nice looking floor mats, good idea. I am now torturing myself, haha, I found an exact copy of the 20,000 mile Black Grey coupe, it's a Black Black coupe with 16,000 miles! Ah, and its about the same price $31,000 but local so no 600 dollar shipping charge. Now I have to figure this out. Is anyone else as obsessive as I am? I stayed up till 3 am last night researching. I am sure I have some company out there, anyway it is my first Vette so I want to get exactly what I want.

No, the gray interior would not deter me. Especially if the car was in great shape and had all the other options I wanted.

I prefer a colored interior to the black, but love them all. Grey is nice! I'd get it!!!!

Price sounds good and I think the interior color would give it some personality. I know I've never seen one like that. The interior color was my last priority, with price, mileage, condition, outside color being ahead of it.
