97 vete
I have a 97 vette with 70K miles and I was trying to see about how much it was worth. I paid a bit short of 11G. I cant find any 97 for sale anywhere is there a specific reason why people dont sell that year or is it just my luck that none are for sale.

11k is a great deal! providing it is not a rebuilt car. Did you do a carfax?
I paid 15k for a 97 6 speed with a new clutch and thought I did good.This was 6months ago. Most cleared titled 97s with that mileage go for about 16 to 17k. Over 100k miles they go for 15.5 and less from what I have seen in the midwest.

If I remember correctly. Since 97 was the first year of a Major Change, GM only made a limited amount. I believe they wanted to road test the production car and work out all the bugs. I bet someone with a corvette black book could tell you the exact number that was made.
So, I think you see less of them because a) they made less of them b) They made less of them and more people are holding on to them for collector reasons.
