2001 6-speed convertible, HUD, Z51, changer,...pretty much everything.... miles are a bit high at 63,000. What is a fair price?

No offense to anyone who owns one similar....

I believe it is worth around $25,000-$26,500 tops.

Just my opinion. I was just in the market for a C5 so I am fairly familiar with what the are going for.....

That sounds like a realisitc selling price to me, too. 15K miles per year doens't make the mileage too out of line for a regular, daily-driven car.

I agree with the above. I would ask $27,500 and accept $26,000+. Good luck in the sale.

I agree with the above. The new expected mileage gauge of 15K per year is reasonable. Frankly, I have seen many Corvettes with even higher mileage because enthusiasts really want to drive these cars. And, attend many popular national Corvette events, as well as, perhaps use the car as a daily driver. Good luck with your inquiry regarding this vehicle.

Thanks for the input guys... I am actually the one looking to buy the car being described.... asking price is 26,500... I am hoping to get it for 25k... plus or minus a little. So does a 2001 LS1 still have a lot of life left at 63k miles??
