Default Value Question

Been reading through posts here for a long time and there's a lot of good information. I'm trying to nail down a reasonable offer for a completely stock, 2 owner 99 Coupe, 6Spd, Memory package, sport seats, Body Side Moldings, Dual Air, both tops, active handling, Tilt-telescope power steering column, Twilight Sentinel, Fog lamps, Heads Up and Bose CD changer. Car has 33K on it and appears to have been cared for, but not to the extent most of you care for your car. Nothing really wrong, just not in exceptional shape. Will also need tires in about another year
Checked out prices here, NADA, KBB, Black Book, Cars.Com and Autotrader and prices are all over the place, from $16 on up depending on milage. What say you would be a reasonable offer

Kbb is usually too low on current vette prices. I would say more around 19-21k with those options.

Sounds like your describing my car except for the body side moulding. I'd say about 20K, could go $1000 either way depending on condition.

I'd have to agree - around $19K - $21K.

A rare 1st. Everyone agrees for a change.

Time for group hug?

Sounds like a $20-21K car. Good luck with the purchase.

I think KBB is always too high. I'd offer him $17K.

You can almost buy a 2001 Z06 for some of the prices noted here.

I think you're living in a dream world - with those options and miles, there's no way you can buy this car for $17.
$20 - $21 is right about where it needs to be
