His ad is misleading. While all 2003s are 50th anniversary editions, his is not a 50th anniversary special edition. Under "Trim" he lists the car as "50th Anniversary Edition Convertible 2 door.

Yeah, I seriously doubt he'll get anywhere near $45K for the car, but he does give the option to make an offer. Still, he really has no clue what the C5 market is bringing these days.

He's dillusional if he thinks he's only going to lose approximately $10K on a 2003 convertible that he didn't drive for the last 9 years. Seriously, did he just go outside and look at the car?! 800 miles in 9 years?! 
It looks very clean, however he will be lucky to get anything above $25K. He might think the super low mileage is a plus, however as a buyer it would raise a red flag because I would immediately need to replace all fluids, hoses, belts and tires.

I think a vert is worth a bit more than any FRC and every local has different demand. I am convinced the friend of yours that sold his Z06 got the bad end of the deal. To truly find out check the stealership and see what they have it for sale for...and I am betting it isnt 25k!!!!!!! (let us know) Probably for $33k, that is the price you should be looking at not the trade in price, he lost $5 grand cause he was too lazy to sell himself.
