2004 Corvette questions
I'm looking at a 2004 at a dealership in Houston but I live in Louisiana. How can I tell if it is the 1SC package or 1SB package in the Le Mans Blue? Does anyone know someone that would be a good person or place to check the car out in the Houston area? It also has the Z51 suspension package. It has 19k miles on it. Would 22k be a good price?
Thanks for the help and input.

Sounds like a great deal...in this neck of the woods it would cost you a lot more. To the tune of $32K, just seen one advertised at a local dealership that's how I know. If you like jump on it.

This forum has a link where you can find a member in the Houston area willing to look at a car that you are really serious about. The link is in the C5 General Sticky "Help for buying a C5...".
I recently paid 19.5K for a really nice 2004 coupe (not commemorative) with 54K mi. You did not say whether the car in question is a coupe or convertible and you don't know whether it is commemorative, so an opinion on price requires more info.

I bought on 04 CE last March for $21.7k. It had the magnetic select ride control, plus all of the other CE options (Le Mans Blue, shale interior, 12 disc CD, dual power seats, side air bags, tilt/telescope wheel, etc.). The car had 29k miles on it. It was in excellent condition, just needed tires (had the originals), and I had the dealer turn the rotors and put on new brake pads when I bought it.
$22k should be in the ball park with the lower mileage but only IF it has all of the goodies above. I'm only missing the plexiglas top, I have the painted top only.
Hope that helps.

Can't you look at the glove box lid and get the RPO codes?
Wouldn't that tell you how it was build from the factory.
Then you could cross check that with the 1SC package and 1SB package list of options.

I just picked up a 1997 low mile vette in Dallas. I bought a vin decoder subscription which is still good. Told me all my options. PM me with your vin and an email address and I will forward the report to you. Seems like Texas has some good pricing and low mile vettes for sale. Good luck with your purchase!

Good luck if you decide to purchase it. Sounds like a decent deal for the low miles and the fact it is a CE car.
