Are C4s getting cheaper..?
 
Wasn't on the forum or doing anything C4 related for like a month, month and a half.

I was surprised to see some good condition LT4s priced around 10k w/ like 100kish miles maybe more don't remember.

Is this a sign? lol I'm not crying about it, I'm not a seller. I'm actually looking for a friend who saw my C4 and started looking for some right away :D

And I've noticed guys here saying their C4s are starting to get attention. So the attention is going up but prices maybe going down. Perfect buyer storm?! $#!t I will get me a DD at this rate :willy:

I would guess they're pretty much rock bottom, only going to go up from now, but who knows! You could buy mine and make it a daily driver for real cheap :rofl::thumbs:

I know of a nice C4 with 87K miles, $10,500.

Bought my '96 triple black LT4 Convertible with 125k for $8,500. Thought I paid what it was worth. That was back in April.

Just did a look on CL. $7K for a 93 with 135K miles. $36K for a 96 GS with 16K miles. $6400 for a 98 coupe with 140K miles. Couple of 84's for about $5500. 92 with 52K miles for $8500.

Prices are all over the place here. I am not sure they've bottomed out but they're close in most areas. I bought my 86 3 years ago at a car auction so I got a pretty good price and have nothing to complain about.

91 black convert 08-27-2016 09:15 PM

At the risk of being picky: they are getting less expensive, not cheaper. Cheap reflects on quality, not cost.:hide:

It seems they're hitting the spot C3's were in a few years ago. I remember when you couldn't give them away. Now they're shooting up quick.

C4's seem to be bottoming out. I've seen some really clean high mile cars for under $5k, and they were even LT1 cars. Low mile cars can be had in amazing shape for under $10k.

Even ZR1's seem to have dropped pretty low. Clean cars in the low $20'k range.

A lot of cheap C4's out there.

This is an interesting topic.

I've been hell-bent on buying a 96 LT4 for two months.
I either see cars with high miles go for $7 - 8K or cars with low mileage asking $13 - $17K.
Some folks are just plain crazy in their ask prices, especially the dealers. I'd think a nice 96 LT4 with 50K miles should be $10K.

The reality is these are 20 - 30 year old cars, with 20 - 30 year old parts that are getting harder to find.

I think the C4's are getting to the point of becoming not relevant. You can get a decent C5 for not a whole lot more coin. And its a fresher car, with more readily available parts.

Totally agree. I saw one guy post a LT1 w 150k miles for like 3500. Paint looked pretty good. Right away he bumped up the price to like 4300.

I think some ppl just don't care for the car after 7 10 15 yrs n use the cash to pay off CC debt. America loves CC debt no? Lol

C5 are also losing interest tho. Both markets are going low. I say up to 1 to 2 more years until C4 prices go up. They r starting to catch ppls eye but buyer interest is still far

Fawk I gotta ask you to sir where did you find that deal? Lol

ghoastrider1 08-28-2016 05:29 AM

Price wise, the C-4 is at the bottom of the corvette food chain. Even the late model, plastic pigs of c-3 fame go for more bucks.Base model c-4 vettes are not going to go up in price for years to come and if thats why you bought your c-4 ( a regular example) your in the hobby for the wrong reason. just my opinion.
