I bought my '04 convertible with 7200 miles 16 months ago and paid 26500 for it; it was and is absolutely perfect. What is the owner asking for it? I would say that the price to pay can vary from 23500 to 29500 depending on what the car has. For example, original wheels along with the chrome ones, exhaust system?, interior modifications; engine mods or dress up items, service records, garaged?, car cover?, auto or stick, etc.

I bought a 02 vert. Manual, 4k mi. Granitelli Exhaust, Dustop Cover, GM bra, Cleartastic, always stored in climate controlled garage for 25k in 11/11. I agree with Mike's value range.

If I were the seller I would hope to get $26,000.

If I were the buyer I would hope to pay $23,000

Where are you located? From what I understand, if you're in the NE, they go for significantly more than many other areas.

Stock makes it much easier to price out correctly...the only option affecting price is the wheel choice...used they go for $400-450 in great condition.
