Default 2004 corvette convertible

I found a 2004 convertible located near me. It has 31,500 miles, it's blue and they are asking $24,500. I am researching and wanted opinions on this year and if this a decent value. I live in Wisconsin and we have a short driving season for these vehicles.

Thanks,

Kevin.

Where in cheese land do you live? I live just south of the state line. I have an '04 and love it. Since that one is blue it will have the shale interior and be a commemorative edition. If you are close I would be happy to go see it with you and show you what to look for ect.

I live in Wisconsin and that seems about $5K too high in my opinion.

Pretty high price, you can do better on that if you keep looking. Good luck!

Considering the miles only that price is on the low side of 04 Z06 money. My 04Z04 had 18,881 miles when I bought it 2 years ago for $25,000. Hope that helps.

If the car is in EXCELLENT condition:

AUTO: $19,000

6-Spd: $20,250

Deduct from those numbers based on what you find wrong with the car.

Good luck - the C5 is an amazing car!

I have my 03 vert in the for sale section. 49K miles, 6-speed, black with Oak interior(so its not hot in the sun). Asking $17,900, but would go down a little if you are interested. Check out the FS thread for more info

I bought a pristine '04 'vert with 18.5k miles on it three years ago for exactly that price - $24.5k. So add three years and 13k miles, I'd say that the car should be worth $18 - $19k. I wouldn't worry about paying $1k too much; but $5k too much is a bit nuts. The '03 two posts above looks like a better deal.

The condition of the car makes a difference and you don't mention that. If it is mint condition, a price of about $20-21K may be more in line.
