On second thought, not wanting to get in trouble, you can send me a PM.

4 years ago they said my Cayman was worth $13,500. I sold it for $22,500 and had an offer for more. Take those numbers with a grain of salt.

OP,

Are you sure you entered the info correctly, as in vehicle condition, etc.? Look at Autotrader for prices of 2005 Convertibles with less than 60k miles.

The ones on Autotrader are at least $20k.

So are you trying to sell it or something?
Check Carvana and Car Max. They'll give you a free quote.

Because it's a 20 year old used Chevy.

Autotrader has 147 2005 Corvettes for sale using the nationwide search & the cheapest one I saw was $16,995 for a car with 100+k miles....most of them are between 19-26k

Yes all info entered correctly. Not trying to sell just checking numbers. Still disappointed.

Not sure why you are disappointed, unless you just paid $35k for the car. It is a $20,000 car plus/minus depending on options and condition. Advertise it for $6,000 and you will have a line around the block.
