Selling my C5 Please help!
Ok so I decided to sell my C5 and get a C6... However, I don't know how much I should try to get for my C5. It is an 01 with about 52,000 miles on it. It's a black on black coupe, automatic. Power seats, 12 disc changer, magnetic ride control, and glass top. I have added a black wing intake and bullets for the exhaust. It also has chrome Z06 rims. The car is in good condition!
I was also wondering if you guys could help me out in the buying process. I want an 06 vert- 3LT with no nav. The dealer has it priced at 62,500....
Any input would be GREATLY appriciated!!!

Hmmmm i would say you should sell it for about 21,000. And... oh my goodness wait a second I just happen to have that!
Seriously though you should see what everyone else is selling theirs for and undercut them a little.

In CA it seems Vettes sell for a bit more than many other places. Check a major newspaper and see if there are any listings in there - you can also check kbb.com, NADA book or edmunds.com. Also, if you know anyone that works at a dealership and can trust them to give you a straight answer, see what they say.

I'd guess mid $20's. Post a pic of the car in our own C5 Corvettes for Sale forum, and see what happens.

If you still have all of your stock parts you could put them back on and sell the performance parts and get even more money.The aftermarket parts might scare away some buyers because they think the car may have been abused,as well you never get more money if you leave the parts on.just a thought.JER
