Price isn't too high if other considerations in addition to state of cleanliness are considered. Being that most Vette owners are very particular about how their car looks, the dirty condition of this Vette, makes one wonder what else about the car has been neglected. At the very least I would have it checked out by a competent Vette mechanic. The mileage isn't particularly high if the car has received regular maintenance, but I would be somewhat cautious, especially when there are many Corvettes with much lower mileage out there for similar prices. Good luck with your decision.

An 2001 with 75k miles for $14750! If it's only dirty, that's quite a savings for an afternoon with a bucket and some soap! Get it checked out mechanically , have spongvette run the VIN and get it or tell me where it is!
