My first C5. Did I pay to much.....

With that few miles I think you got a great deal! I'm surprised the asking price wasn't $25K! Sellers now days seem to think low mileage C5s are worth double of high mileage C5s...

When I bought mine 6 years ago, I felt I paid towards the top end. I had it appraised and the value was just $500 more than I paid. The car was EVERYTHING I was looking for.
Fast forward to today and over 100,000 miles of my driving it. I smile every time I think about owning that car. Was it worth it.... ABSOLUTELY. What is done is done. Enjoy it and don't look back.

I think I'm going to need to see a few more pictures before I can give you my expert opinion
Nassau blue is my favorite color, and I would have paid that in a heart beat
one day I will have my black ZO6 painted that color
more pictures please!

Take it from someone who spent the last a year and a half scouring the market nationwide.
With the miles on that car, you got a very good deal. Not a great deal. Not an average deal.
Have no remorse or regrets. Your car is badass!

Whut?
HELLUVA deal for a 10k-mi FRC, especially if you say it's "show-room". Hell, it's barely broken-in AND it's Nassau Blue. Very rare in some peoples' eyes. 202 in 1999 (1st yr) and 189 in 2000. What was the question again?

Awesome looking car! I'm thrilled w the car! Been wanting a NB FRC forever. Only other picture I have. More to come

I think you did good.
Look at any vehicle, new or used and I would say they all have gotten really expensive!
Lets say you bought a brand new entry level economy car, do they still make Chevy Cavilier, or whatever is just a basic 2 or 4 door, probably manual windows, 4 cylinder and A/C.
Could you buy it off the lot for what you paid for that Corvette?
I bet it would be over 20k!
Plus it's just a brand new entry level cheapy car.

You didn't pay "to" much, nor did you pay too much.
Nice car, looks like you did fine........

First thing I looked for was damage. No damage.. He had it lowered only a few hundred miles ago. I plan on raising it a little bit.

I bought an ultra low mileage car myself 3 years ago. I paid a little more also but was happy with having a well maintained L/M car. I think that is a good price for a car that will last you a long, long time. Congrats on the purchase.

Yep, someone's gonna say "chrome wheels are too blingy", or "chrome wheels are only for old people"...
And "someone" would be right.........
