Default advice on 98 vert

I am looking at a 98 conv. with less than 14k miles on it. The car has not been driven much in the past 3 years only about 700 miles. It is red with black top and firethorne interior. This is kind of an odd color combination to me and I haven't seen another one like it. The price is $24,500 which I think the bottom line is 24k. Any advice or thoughts on the pricing, any problems with the mileage and also opinions about the color combo.
Thanks,
Jim

Sounds a tad high but it does have low miles so if it's what you're looking for, and in good shape, I say go for it. Life is short.

If you like it go for it. It's only money, and I've never seen a U-Haul behind a hearse.

I have a '98 Convertible. I think that is a fair price, especially if it is a MN6.

I paid 25K for my '98 vert. It has every option available with 39K miles.

I had checked out for months looking for a vert and at that point it seemed 25K was about 2K too much. However, I was looking for a unmolested, next to perfect, non painted vert.

If you can get one with that low miles and it has some options that you want, I'd say get it.
