Default Need help setting price

I need some help pricing my Vette in order to put it up for sale here. I'm traveling way too much for work and never drive it. Bought it about 10 months ago and put about 1,000 miles on it since. It's a waste to let it sit in the garage. All the aftermarket items listed were done since I purchased it. Miles are approximate and no, I don't have pics ready yet. I'm on the road for work.

Thoughts on price?

2004 Convertible
Medium Spiral Gray Metallic
Black interior
14,500 miles
6 speed
Selective ride control
Blackwing air cleaner
Kooks long tubes, coated
Kooks high flow cats
Borla cat back
Mild tune
New C7 Z06 style black wheels
New Firestone Indy tires
New Stop Tech drilled and sloted rotors
New Stop Tech carbon ceramic pads
Exterior lights all LED
Hood and trunk struts replaced
New Optima Red Top battery
New clutch slave
VGC small scratch on lower front bumper.

From what I’ve seen lately, your car is easily well in the 25k range. Low miles and 6sp, much more desirable.

seen a few crazy listings for c5s with 100k miles close to 20, some over that number

Sounds a lot like the 2004 i originally purchased as my first vette back in the day, other than transmission and miles. GLWS and looking forward to seeing your pictures when you can post them

Value ? In this market, given you purchased 10 months ago.I'd speculate about 5-10% more than you paid

Moved to C5 General. When you decide on an asking price, post your ad in the C5 Corvettes for Sale/Wanted section.

None of those mods will effect the price any. With that said prices are crazy right now. I would say $25K easy. To the right buyer you might even be able to get $28K.
With that being said, You put 1k miles on it in 10 months. That's about how much the previous owners drove it. If you like it, keep it.

I agree, $25,000 is about right. I'd ask for $26,000 and be ready to accept $25,000.

Yeah it's a nearly 20 year old car, it's going to be largely past it's depreciation hump especially if you aren't putting miles on it. Just start it up every few weeks and take it around the block then stick it back in the garage, take it out when you feel like it, holding it is better than being liquid right now anyway unless you are cash strapped or you don't have the garage space or you want to make a quick flip and buy something else when the market slumps again.
