Premium cars should and usually do sell for premium prices. And that is good thing.
I agree that pristine, unmodified low mileage C5s are becoming harder and harder to find, and as a result they are holding their value very well. In fact a strong C5 can bring higher prices than an average early C6. I'm not knocking C6s here, because I have both. But the reality is the pristine C5 is the harder to find of the two.

Oh..so true....In most cases Low Miles= High Prices
Especially this time of year...and as you know...a good time to sell yours
But...no matter how much we want it..we can't have your cake and eat it to. As a vette owner since '68 as you say. actually this is not
a 'news flash' to you...
I bought My '01 vert with 28k 12/10 for what I thought was a good price.
FYI..Corvette Mike in Plymouth,Mass. generally has nice low milage mint
cars...but of course...you have to PAY

Hi
Being that l follow the used vette market has anybody else noticed that there are very few if any pristine low mileage vettes around.
If you check with the used vette specialists you will see them at crazy prices and selling also. The convertibles are untouchable unless you live in some select parts of the country.
But again maybe because we have so many bottom feeders combing through our for sale section that it has forced the owners hand to post their vettes elsewhere and l can' really blame them.
This is the worst year since 2000 that the good vettes dried up.
Don't get me wrong there are a lot of C5's for sale but l wouldn't touch them because of condition, mods or mileage.

This seems to be the crazy time of the year for vettes that are in pristine condition with low miles. In my area l'm a little too slow to respond to gems for sale!
And being that my 02 is my perfect vette it will have to due until l decide to just sell it and then pick up a vert.
Corvette Mikes does have awesome vettes but a little too rich for my blood.

Things that are cheap are seldom good...and Things that are good are seldom cheap...That said...if you have the time...And...wait out the summer season....you should be able to find a mint car at a perhaps better than what most feel is a fair price....right now...in season as they say in Florida...the sky is the limit for a car your looking for.
JMHO..Good Huntin..!
