Going to look at this car tomorrow.
They brought it down from upstate and we drive by today and took a look at it.

Looks pretty clean,a few little scratches and the drivers seat has some wear.
They have already lowered the price sight unseen to $20,500.

Hopefully the link works:

It is the only corvette listed,seems I can't link to the actual page.

I'm guessing it's this one http://www.getauto.com/autolinks_car...-/x_dealer_id-

Well I would say try to get it for $20k out the door. It doesn't seem to have HUD which I'm so glad I decided to get because I love it. I got my 04 coupe with 54k miles for $20,500 from a private seller before tax and registration fees. It's fully optioned but needed tires and has a flaking polished rim. Otherwise flawless. Like I'm sure you've heard... it's a buyers market.

Thank you!!!!

That is it.
It looked pretty nice,miles are a little high.

It does have HUD,I made sure to look as I think that is a pretty cool option too.

Our town is not a place where vettes sell,we just don't seem to have many in the area.

I am going to see about trading in my old Dodge truck...160,000 miles,diesel 4x4.

And I am not stuck on this particular car,it isn't my first choice in color but as I stated,around here there isn't a lot of vettes to even look at.

Seeing the miles on that thing, which translates into nearly 200k km, I'd say the 19-20k region. I'm not sure if you can get a chance to see in person, but that range seems good for those miles.

Try the "C5 for Sale" section on the forum. There are a lot of them available. That is where I found mine. Take your time. It will be worth it in the long run.

Like what everyone else said...

Highish miles
Coupe
Nothing special with it

I'd say $17K

I'd look on Ebay if you aren't afraid of it..I got my yellow vert with lower miles than that for much cheaper...heh heh heh.
