Hello Corvette people. We have a 2000 convertible with 86,000 +/- miles. Don't know much about it . Needs paint and has cracked windshield. Looks like they replaced the front and rear bumper left rear fender, hood and the left head light cover. Interior is tan and dirty but no tears or excess wear on seats. Car is navy blue with tan top. Some one said the chrome wheels were something 6. Tires look to be 75% Other than it runs I don,t know squat about it.Should we have it finished or sell as is. Now my question is what is it worth as is?

Thank you, We were trying to get a handle on what this car might be worth as is. We thought that we would get enough response to get an idea what to market the car for. Looks like we were wrong.

I think you've gotten a few good comments, but you have to remember, the old adage, "a picture is worth a thousand words," still works wonders.

Yea really hard to say sight unseen. Not sure where you are located but keep in mind you are going to winter so obviously demand at this time will be less. I would take a guess and say the car is probably worth around 13k or so based on the description you have given us. good luck

KBB in Bay Area says $14.5k/fair condition, $15.8k/good condition.

Factor in the windshield and paint and you should just be under that.

Who is "they" and why do you think they "replaced" all those body panels?

What is "needs paint"? Is it just normal wear and tare or is it pretty bad and really needs a paint job. Look on KBB and if it really needs paint and such then subtract about 2-4 grand and go from there. You might have to accept something like 4-6 grand less but that would be up to you. If it just needs some touching up then maybe subtract 1-3 grand from KBB price.

I would say bring it to a auto detail place. Let them have at it for $100-300ish and you can be surprised what they can sometimes do. Then you might not need to subtract so much.

good luck!

I recently bought a 99 coupe for with a clean title (very high mileage) for $8000, bottom line in Tennessee. Does that help you? We parted it out.
