Default Advice Needed: What is the value of this 05 C6?

Hey,

I'm hoping someone here can help me determine a good value for a 2005 Corvette Coupe w/ 12k Miles. Red w/ tan interior. It has factory navigation. Cosmetically care is in very good shape w/ a scuff on one wheel. Issue with car is 1st owner drove into high puddle on passenger side which got into passenger side ecu. After drying out; everything worked correctly. Car doesnt have rebuilt title, but it does show that it has had flood damage. What would you guys say a conservative value is?

Thank you.

You might get lucky. But I would NOT buy a flood-damaged car regardless of the seller's plausible story.

Anyway, given it's flood status, probably low $20k's depending on options, history, maintenance, use/abuse, carfax, etc.

Do your research on the 2005 C6. Lots of threads, like this:

The-Usual-Advice: Get the newest C6 you can afford.

Enjoy your search.

With unknown flood damage I'd say 15K. And plan on throwing $ and time into those unknown electrical issues you'll have. And you'll have horrible resale value if you were to sell it in the future. I'd pass, no matter how cheap it is.

Wouldn't go near it.

Worthless!
These cars start effing up just hosing off the engine, let alone water soaking an ECU.
Don't walk....RUN away!
