She looks really nice and clean.
According to Corvette DNA:
Excellent Condition - Auto - 04 - Convertible: $18,000 - $18,500
If you are going to sell it now, ask $19k and see where you land. If you can wait till spring, you can MAYBE squeeze another $1,000 out of her if you want...
Good luck!!

OP, do a quick search on Autotrader and Cars.com to set your asking price. You'll quickly see that between $20K and $22K there are plenty of nice C6s with mileage similar to your C5. You want to be priced below those C6s.

When I purchased my C5 Z06, there was a C6 Z06 sitting next to it with similar miles. The difference in price between the two was inconsequential in my decision. I wanted a C5. Inside in the showroom, I could have bought a split window or a C7 Z06 for roughly the same money. Two completely different cars.
Corvettes are highly personal purchases for most and unlike other vehicles, the newer model years do not automatically make them worth more. I would never argue that a 2003 C5 is worth more than a similar 2010 C6...to everyone. But, the price difference between the two is also not necessarily what drives the sale of either. The value of a C5 depends on the value of other C5s, not what a C4 or a C6 is worth. The Corvette market has always been this way.

$19,500 to $21,000 in the spring, if you stay under 60K miles.
Beautiful car. Good luck with your sale.

There are always those guys who price their C5 like it's a collector's car or something, and those are usually the cars you see sitting on Autotrader for a year or more...
