Just a guess - maybe $14-15K. You would need to figure in the cost of at least two new tires and repair of the driver's seat if that is a big concern to you. And welcome to the forum.

Saw one locally with about the same mileage--he was pretty firm at $16500, just depends on where you are located.

Take the Vette to a trusted mechanic so you can get a full perspective on the car. 98 with only 45K is great. If all in order and considering the tires and seats I would say $14k to $16k.

Tire rack or Discount tire on line. Most discount tire shops will match the on line prices.

Since we don't know your location, it's hard to give a good guess on the price. It could vary by a couple of thousand either way. Auto Trader is a good way to determine prices in your area.

Good luck and welcome to the Finest Forum in the land.
