Assuming it's immaculate, $17K, maybe $18K.

I know the economy sucks, values are down, but I have the exact same car, condition, (its a '99), and I am going to ask lo 20's....to me its worth at least that....if it doesn't sell...I keep it.
Good Luck....

For what it's worth, I just purchased an arctic white 2000 cpe with 35k miles, m6, borla quad stinger exhaust, tint, fully loaded options and upgraded stereo system for $18,500. I think with your low miles $20k makes sense. The questions is if there's anyone with the money right now :/

I'm seeing more and more Z's w/ under 50k miles sell at $20k or less. Another one sold on ebay with 17k miles for $20k. I've seen a couple other 02 Z's in the 40k mile range at $20k in the past month. This economy is going to take a lot of people by surprise.

I just bought a 2000 Coupe one month ago after watching/researching for the entire summer. I would have pushed a '00 FRC Black w/ under 17,000 miles home if I could have got it for $17k
I would've expected to pay ~22K for your car - but in the end it comes down to finding the right buyer and whether you 'need' to sell.

BTW - this is my first post. (to any Forum, actually) I joined the Forum after my buddy turned me on to it to search the C5 listings. Since then, I'm hooked. You guys rock. I'm soaking up all this info and resources like a sponge.

I ended up finding the exact car I wanted. 2000 Coupe, black/black 6-speed w/Borla stingers. I already flush mounted the tail lights and have the race-mesh on order..........

Sorry, I'm rambling - just happy to be aboard.

I'd say around $19K-20K - provided the car is in great shape.

Thanks for all the feedback. The car is immaculant and worth more to me than the upper teens so I think that I'll wait the economy out.

Having watched eBay for a while and picked up on the patterns, I have to say I'm highly suspect of some of these low mileage Zs going for under 20K. I know it breaks Ebay's rules but I really think some of these guys are using multiple accounts to advertise as No Reserve but then to be the high bidder if they don't get the price they want. Who knows but it makes me suspicious.

Or they have a friend bid to raise the price. I know a guy who would have one of his buddies bid to raise the price of the item he was selling.

The seller would still owe Ebay a whopper of a commission even if it was purchased by the owner or his friend. So on big ticket items, I can't really see the point. JMO.

I know you guys scream for these low mileage Vettes, but in my opinion I would not want an older car no matter what it was that was driven less than at least 8,000 to 10,000 miles per year. Especially a performance car like a Vette. It is made to run. If it just sits in the garage somewhere and is polished daily, it can develop all kinds of non-use problems.

I ain't Leno, so I like to drive my Vette and would never buy one that has so few miles on it.
