Hey guys. I am a complete newbie to Corvettes. I have ended up with one as partial payment against some money owed to me. I will be putting it up for sale after I play with it awhile but trying to get an idea what it is really worth. What will it sell for.... KBB and asking prices are way different......


1998 convertible
Drives good
Auto
White
140k miles
Brand new tires
Brand new soft top
New tie rod ends and ball joints front rear
Very clean exterior
Interior not as clean = seat wear hole, missing reflector in driver door, etc


Let the opinions fly and thanks for the newbie question!! Located in KY

IMO, the car should be worth $10-11K.

Agree..tough to say the out some photos but sounds like that might be on the higher end, especially if it needs tires.
