Posting for a friend's wife. her husband passed about 4years ago and just now is getting around to sell. she has no idea what to list it for and I thought you guys might help giving me a realistic price range. 2000 coupe just over 30,000 miles. here are a few photos.

Moving this to C5 General for some pricing recommendations. Once you get an idea, you can relist in the C5 Corvettes for Sale section. Also, please review this forum rule https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...eir-parts.html, specifically item 1 and add the required info to your post when listing it for sale.
For those responding - Note that this is not a FS thread at this point, so please do not turn it into one. Only looking for recommendations on what would be a good asking price.

Nice clean example of a low mileage C5, great ride but probably not much more than $15k but a beautiful car!
Search the FS Forums and that will give you a better idea as well as the Auto Trader listings for your market/area.

It has the 3.15 rear and the Z51 handling package, that's worth a little more IMO. Clean, low miles, looks stock/unmolested, garage kept with the 2 most wanted options for a base coupe, ask 20K and accept no less than ~17K IMO.
I like the NAVY Blue Metallic!

Well we just sold one off this summer 04 with 89K miles for $19,500. It was a 6 Sp M.
So based on lower miles here but with auto and an 00 I would peg this $18K to 19K all day.,
Like the other post start at $19.999. Take no less than $17K.
I judge web cars by the driver seat and this one look in very good and clean condition. That often speak much of the rest of the car. Too often I have seen even lower mile cars with more seat cracks and wear as the seats are never conditioned. If a owner does this the rest of the car has been well cared for.

I like Missileboy's take on it. $20k is in the ballpark
Autotrader shows a few C5s within 200 miles that have less than 45k miles on them. You can put in many different parameters to see what the asking prices are out there.

Agree, Frodo. If it wont start, that would be huge, and a see-ya-later for most buyers. OP, if it will not run, Id sure look at getting that done as my top priority. CFight makes a good point, too. 4 tires on a C5 are a good $1,350-$1,400 mounted, balanced, OTD, at minimum. Like many Corvettes, especially C5s, once you see them, if they look nice, and it flips your trigger, it's hard not to buy it....

The What ifs are not really a problem. If it will not start it is just likely a dead battery. The tires are a common issue on most used Corvettes. It is mostly a given you have to buy a set unless it is a dealer that you can work a deal with.
The service work also is a common need for most Corvettes sold. You just have to expect that.
As long as there is no check engine light or long list of codes the car should be asked for $19999 and if needed to close a deal take off $500-$1000 and you are in the spot most coupes are this time of year. Come spring you could likely get the $20K
Brake fluid, Oil Change, Gear oil etc are all expected changes on most car you buy. People do not changed these things to sell a car.
As long as it is all in working order that is what matters.

Bought a 2000 coupe in May of last year fully loaded with the Z51 package and the six speed manual with 25k miles on it. I agree with others $17k to $20k is a good price range depending on how fast it needs to go.
