We bought a 98 6 speed, with 170,000 miles and had no visible damage. It had a clean titile and we dorve it 180 miles to the garage where we parted it out.

Cost, $8000 bottom line, yes we did well, but it gives you an idea of value on a high nileage car

Now let the flaming begin for hitting a Vette in the head, but they're worth more dead than alive with that mileage.

I turned down the trade, but he offered me $8,000 for the vette. Do you think its good deal to buy? It has no visible damage, very clean and its red and black inside

I wouldn't, too many miles on it! Auto Trader would tell you what people are asking in your area.
