I would list it for $21,000 then come down if you need too.

I have the twin to your 04, and I sure wouldn't sell mine for less.

From my research I'd say between $16k-18k.
On a good day $19k.

Check ebay with the sold listings filter applied to see actual selling prices.

Kelly Blue Book private party sell puts her at about $17K but I would hope you could get more than that.
Like calguy said, maybe ask $21K but be prepared to take less.

If its as clean as you seem to indicate, then I go with Whiteonrice above. If you don't need the funds right now, I would think a nice clean vert in that color would sell much better for you come next spring. Heading into winter is not the best time for vettes in general, especially not for verts. Good luck, whatever you decide!

The automatic knocks the price down a bit, and while the mileage isn't high, it isn't real low either...I'd say probably about $18K...

A lot of variables here...
Any mods?
How many owners?
Tire life left?
Maint records?


My guess would be 18-19. but at this time of year, its a buyers market.

I say $18k list and expect to get offer of less. The C5's are now two Gens old, almost three with the C8s not too far in the future. Of course everything depends upon your location/market and as stated, time of year; Spring is the best time for a Vert. Also a mentioned above, ebay is a great source for checking prices nationwide.

Good luck.

Unless you need the money badly, I would never consider selling that beauty for less than 21.

It looks like a mirror image of my 04.
