Alright C5 guys, if I'm going to do this I need to jump fast. not going to say what I'm paying but I need to know what it's worth in your opinion;

2004 6 speed, handling package, new tires, 60K miles, spotless;



What do you think?

$18-20K. I looked on ebay and the ones that actually sold were in that range.

in my geographic area, around 20k if it is in excellent overall condition (paint, interior, etc). is it all stock?? tires?? are they runflats or replacement non-runflat?? lots of things enter into the equation. my "guess" at best, lol.

knowing who the previous owners were and how many of them would help. also, are there any maintenance records? did you drive it? any mods? full list of options would be nice too. like HUD, sport seats, climate control, etc.

before some of these things are known, its not going to be easy to give you a price.

Ive owned corvettes for 50 years..... You do not need anyones opinion here, some people have lots of money, others have no enough to own a corvette but they do... here is the real deal, do some research where the research is credible, certainly not here...This is the worst time of the year to buy a Corvette from a financial point of view,,,,the difference between a good deal and a great deal can be the money the owner wants for it so the new owner can get a great summer with this car.. thats worth the difference between a summer bought car and a winter bought car... If you <=== YOU feel the price is within your budget considering that you are getting a nice car.. and its the summer.. any nay or ya found here is subject to their particular idea of what is a good deal.. I say if its what you want and not over your budget , then go for it... the smiles start immediatly..especially at this time of year... you can save a few thousand purchasing it in Nov, but the difference is worth the money in daily smile factors, at least to me. Good Luck, I say go for it because you are already ready to jump.. you just need a push...
Push
GoodLuck

Mine has every option, in near perfect condition with 72,000 miles on it. Blacked out, and B&B Quad Tips, and a couple other things done. Easily another 2k in it, and it never sold and dropped price several times.

I started at 23,000ish and dropped all the way to 20,300. Car is still sitting in garage, to give you an idea.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-c...ck-m6-hud.html

Check out that forum, it will at least give you a good list of options to check for and compare against for the price your going for.

Hope it helps,
Nathan

Thanks for the help, I pulled the trigger tonight. It had less miles than I thought, about 50K and is really loaded including both tops and the 12 disc remote CD player. It's a great car and I got a screaming deal, not going to say how much so don't ask, don't want to open that can of worms again

I'll get some better pics in the daylight tomorrow;





Thx for the help from all that sent me a PM................
