Anyone ever purchase from this BUYAVETTE in Atlanta, GA?
Some of their C4's have "FREE 2 YEAR/50K ADDITIONAL MILE WARRANTY WHEN PURCHASED AT ADVERTISED PRICE, GOOD AT ANY REPAIR FACILITY NATIONWIDE!" - I'm sure there's plenty of small print to void them from paying a claim.

I've seen this before, I'm surprised it hasn't sold in that time
There is no way in heck that will sell at that price, I would think it would be a hard sell at $100K. Plus it's an automatic

There are a lot of collectors out there that would want that car. It is special. It amazes me sometimes what some cars go for at Barrett Jackson. $100K would be the most I think it would go for. Not so special it's worth a million.

100k would be a steep price I would think. Sure it is unusual, but not "that" unusual!.

It would take someone with a huge ego to pay an exorbitant price for a car that was built for eight years and it’s only distinction is that it was the last one made, realizing this would be a desirable car to own in its own right.

The last C2 sold for $660K at Barrett jackson in 2017, so the last C5 might be worth 1/10 of that..

What they ask and what they get can be a vastly different number. In this case, I think they are grossly overpriced.

When someone spends $1,000,000 they are making an investment. When making an investment, there's an expectation of an increase in value, i.e. a return. That Corvette has zero chance of making a return. If it was being sold to benefit a charity, maybe it could reach $500,000. As an investment, the $100,000 or maybe a tad higher is realistic, expecting it to grow to $150,000 in a few years. Only a fool would buy that car for $1,000,000.
As a fun expenditure, I'd rather buy a low mileage C5 coupe plus a low mileage C5 vert plus a low mileage C5 Z06, 2004 commemorative edition and still have over $900,000 to spend on whatever.
