Asking price ?
I'm thinking of selling my 2002 base C5 auto 85000 miles , I would like some opinions on what to sell it for. Electron Blue, Targa top, brand new tire's and sensors ( April ) brand new shifter linkage. It has Corea exhaust, HUD, Holly cold air intake. Extremely well taken care of, garaged and covered and no rain. I love the car but 35yrs of building bridges has taken its toll on my back. I'm in Iowa. Thanks for any input.

Two years ago, I picked up and clean 02 vert with 51k miles for $15k and thought it was a great deal. Mine had dated tires I replaced. I'd guess your car would sell in the $15-17k range based on my observations in Florida.

........ I would need to see the car in person to narrow it down further.... Everyone's opinions of condition is different and is VERY hard to tell by pictures...... Auto & Coupe are the biggest negative value influencers at play here, but also 85,000 miles although very low for a 23 yo car is still actually on the high side (in the Corvette world) to get top value with the Coupe and Auto negatives going against you. Excellent condition and if the car presents in person really well could tip the value more towards the higher end of this spectrum or maybe even up closer to $18k IF the care presents well and you are in an area with decent demand.
