Default 2003 50th anniversary value

I have a 2003 50th anniversary edition with 29k miles. The car is in fantastic shape. All stock except for corsa exhaust and tires were replaced 2 years ago. I am going to list it for sale next week and I am trying to gauge what I should ask. Ads that I see are all over the board from 29k to 20k for cars under 60k miles. The low miles at 29k help but the automatic hurts the value in my opinion. What do you think is a fair asking price? Car is located in the Indianapolis area.

Completely stock? My guess $25,000
Any mods would detract from that price.

56k new driven 50 miles sold for 49k. Should have just driven it and enjoyed it. But if you can pay 56k for a car in 2003 and just let it sit then u must not needed the $ nor cared about driving such a fun car. What a waste.

I would say the car is worth between $23-25K, maybe start on the high end. Looks like a nice car from the pic. Just be sure to give a good description of the car, the options, clear title or not, any blemishes on the car, etc.

Beautiful 50th Anni! Always loved the color. I am in Pendleton, so not too far from you! I purchased my very original '03 Z06 with 29,000 miles last March up in Dearborn Michigan from a high volume Corvette/GM dealer for around $29,000. I think an honest price to actually get yours sold would be right around $20k this time of year. Maybe if you wait till spring $22k. I've seen a few at dealers asking closer to $25k and even some of those specialty used car dealers closer to $30k for a true 50th Anniversary, but you will not likely get that price selling independently (nor do I think those dealers are actually getting that in reality). Great mileage and appears to be very original....that will help, but coupe and auto will hurt your chances of getting top dollar. The true 50th package, I feel helps sell the car, but doesn't really add a ton of value.

Good luck with sale!
