Oh.....and the average (have you looked that word up yet?) age of a C5 owner is 50+. But of course you know better than the rest of us, don't you. Good job stud.

Just as one persons idea of what is a well maintained and clean house will differ from someone else's, so, also, ideas of what is a well maintained and "pristine" condition Corvette will differ -- widely! I have seen Corvettes that look like they need a paint job and new interior, but the owners think they are in "mint", "like new" condition. 
I have yet to see any truely low mileage, excellent condition early C5s priced in the teens -- though many that are for sale at those prices are advertised as "immaculate", and "in new condition".

Ah... the art of pricing. The forums are too "global" to accurately gauge market value of cars in a specific area.
I paid waayy more than I would have liked, because I constantly saw great deals on here. Too bad nobody sold them that low last march. I would see a car, go look at it, try to negotiate down to what I thought was reasonable based on what I read here. Then leave, hoping the dealer would call saying they'd take the deal. Everytime, within a day or two, the cars would be gone.
So I got tired of getting my hopes up and trying to negotiate, when the next guy is willing to drop the cash at the level the dealers where asking, so I bit the bullet and bought for whatever I could negotiate on the spot.
I don't really feel all that bad about what I paid either. It wasn't "the best deal on the planet" but not the worst either.
