Eighteen to twenty-two thousand depending on number of previous owners, documentation available, age of tires, maintenance documentation, and auto or 6spd. among other items. This post will soon be followed with one stating they are worth twelve grand or less but with no idea where they can actually be bought for that!

the answer is probably : "as much as you are ready to put down to buy it". Read a bit the forum and you'll see there is not one answer. Depending on the condition, your location, your local market, the car specifics....as @JALLEN4 mention seems to be a possibility.

Model year is a BIG part of it. Generally speaking, 1997-2000 models will sell for less, for numerous reasons that can be found here on the forum. It pains me to say that, because I own a 2000 Vert!! Welcome to the forum...

Why not save time and tell us all about the car, plus the price?

Just bought a pristine 2003 Electron Blue 6spd convertible last week for 20K. Drove it home to San Francisco from Seattle....absolutely no issues. It's a wonderful car.

Looks like he is talking about a 2003 per the year in the title. $18-22K or so would seem reasonable. Could be a bit more or a bit less.

Need more info. RPO codes help. Knowing just the mileage, in today's market, the price seems reasonable. Clean unmolested and well cared for versions are yielding higher prices than just last year. Prices will likely continue going up. Best of liuck.

Welcome to the Forum! I would say a 2003 with that mileage could be anywhere between $17K - $25K. Prices have been going up. Make sure you have a pre-purchase inspection by someone familiar with Corvettes. You'll also want to check out the sticky posts at the top of this page. Good luck!

Lots of good info in the stickies. I also agree with the pricing, it could easily command a $25K price.
