Default 2001 Price question

Does $20K sound to much for a '01 with 25,000 miles?

Thanks,
Tom M

In my opinion no. I would expect a little more depending on the configuration.

A convertible will always be higher. Options make the difference. Is it a Z51 vehicle, for example. Dual zone AC, full Preferred Eq Group 2, etc.

The mileage is way low, I struggle to minimize mine and I just hit 40K.

(I should add you will get a lot of opinions on this.)

If you can get the VIN you can do some deciphering. There is a very recent post about this, it explains which digit tells you what the configuration is, for example the sixth digit tells you whether it is a vert, frc or basic coupe.

I stand corrected usually you get a whole lot of opinions when talking price.

Let us know how it works out.

Depending on the options, and low mileage, that's seems like a fair price.

For what it is worth, I bought my 01' coupe in march with 37,000 on it for $17,000. About the only thing it did not have was HUD. The car was in great shape. This was in the midwest.

everyones mint condition is different(although it should be the same) For low miles a 6spd and torch red sounds like a good deal.

$20k for 01 TR Coupe, 6 sp w 25k miles sounds about right, especially if it's from a Corvette enthusiast who really cared for the car. If it's his/her baby, and you visit their home, see their garage set up, learn the history of the car, etc.--these things mean a lot to me when purchasing. Tasteful Mods, both cosmetic and performance, add some value to the car.

On the other hand, a $20k sticker on a 25k miles C5 sitting on some car lot, w no history, would not be nearly as appealing to me.

Rickman

P.S. If you have never had a Vert, you may wanna check out the 01-04 Verts. I love my 01 TR Z51, my first convertible ever. They are simply great cars that should hold their value slightly better than the coupes.

If it is in excellent condition and has the desirable options, then $20K is a fair price for the car.
