Seems like a very low price for a 500 mile C5. Got to be a catch somewhere.

Note the listing says "Reserve not Met". The car will not be sold until the bids go high enough to make that flag go away.

They could be wanting $100K. Good luck.

Yea, who knows what they expect. I've seen lower mile cars that sold for under $40k so it's hard to say. Only need two idiots to run it up to an outlandish price.

I wouldn't expect the reserve to be met at 22,800...

Reserve should be mid 30s anyway. Imho.

I hope the owner enjoyed polishing it and looking at it.

Maybe the owner bought it because he liked it - - not necessarily as an investment or to drive, but just to enjoy looking at it from time to time as part of his collection. Who are we to say he didn’t get his money’s worth?

Does look super clean. But hard to think it’s not a flood car.

Nice buy maybe. Needs new battery, belts, hoses, spark plugs all fluides changed.
And then it needs to be run the hell out of it for all the lost time.
Good luck to somebody
