Fair Price?
I have a 97 torch red couple, only 38,000 on the ticker. Looking at some of the prices around here, i think i could get around 22 for it, am i crazy?
little help from the crafty vets around here would be great.

A friend of mine just saw a 98 Coupe w/ 48K miles sell for $24600 at a dealer's auction. In my are Vette prices are in peak season. Remember, you can always go down if you have to but you can't go up.

According to NADA, Kelly BB and Edmonds, that price is a little high. BUT, a vette will bring more money if the color is right and the miles are low, which yours is. If the right person comes along with cash, you could get even more for the car. Just remmember, dealers take trade ins and do financing, so they can get more for a car that a private sale car...I think your car is worth every penny, your asking for it.
