Price Check....C5 Nassau Blue Coupe
Hey Vette forum,
I hate posting these types of threads, but I could use some insightful knowledge as I haven’t been paying too much attention to the C5 market. Long story short I sold my Vette a few months ago and I’m having withdraws. Yep, didn’t take long, eh? Perhaps a ‘sickness’.
Anyway a nice C5 popped near me and I was curious what would be fair for both buyer and seller? It’s a 1997 Coupe, has 117,000 kms, looks clean(haven’t seen it in person yet). Seller is asking $18,500. Too me that seems very high. I’ve seen recently 02+ verts with under 80kms for $18-20k.
Was curious wjat what would be a fair offer? I don’t want to insult a seller, but car is only worry what someone’s willing to pay I guess.
Thanks everyone!!

High for a 1997 - it's a very early C5 and will need a lot of maintenance things.
I say $15K maybe even less.
Others might chime in with their humble opinions....

Thanks for the feedback guys. Found out car is a 3 owner American car. Has a crack on the targa top and a slight rip in the seat. Those are pretty minor, just kind of uneasy to buy an American car, especially at that price. Maybe I’ll keep searching....if I offered 14/15k I may upset the guy, but maybe worth a look.

Thanks a lot guys, much appreciated. I also seen a 1996 Special Edition lt4 C4 that caught my eye on kijiji. I’ve had c4s in the past, so I like those too. It’s only got 64000 kms on it, but seller is asking $18,000....sounds really high no?
