need your opinion
Hi guys, Could you give me your opinion on what would be a good price on high mileage 101k miles. 98 c5 6-speed coupe. Assuming everything works and the car has clear title I don't need blue book value, I need what they vettes like this go for now, with the market being the way it is.
Thanks
Thanks

I'd want to see the maintenance history on the vehicle, and I wouldn't touch it if was more than a two owner vehicle. If it has been properly maintained, has good tires, a new battery it's a $10 to $11K vehicle tops.

$10K-11K might be a little low, but not by much. Would really depend on what shape the car is in both appearance wise and mechanically.

plus geographic location would also play a bit of a part in it. cold weather area where someone doesn't want to have to store it for the winter, etc i would think it owuld be cheaper than a so cal/arizona or south florida car where winterizing means being able to run with the convertible top down all the time, lol. assuming everything checks out and it isn't a many owner car (as previously noted), i would think the "asking" price should be around 13k to start. what the seller accepts all depends on how badly he really wants to sell the car.

It could be a solid 13k car depending on how its been stored and maintained.

I'm definitely leaning toward the $10K range in good condition. With 2012 fast approaching and over 100K miles, I don't see low teens. That's from a market, not enthusiast, intrinsic value perspective.
