One factor: How do your seats look? As everyone knows, Vette leather is cheap and tends to wrinkle and crack badly. This can be a turn-off to a potential buyer.

Whatever you decide to do, best of luck!
Seats are like new. I did replace to divers side seat back cover. The whole car is like new. I can count maybe 4 little nicks in the paint. The divers side inner door panel could be replaced because of the well known arm rest problem.

In my experience,,EVERY buyer expects to dicker it down a little bit,,so I would start a little higher as suggested $17.5 or $18. Not unreasonably high BUT leave a little negotiation room so the buyer feels good,,and you are happy as well. If it is priced too low it can sound unneeded alarm bells with prospective buyers!!Sad to hear you need to sell!!Good luck!!!

Anytime I buy/sell something that is auto/motorcyle. I consult the following...

and...

www.kbb.com

That pretty much spells it out clearly for both the seller and buyer.
