2000 White FRC Vette w/2,058 one owner miles
What would you guys say the value is on a 2000 white frc vette? It's a one owner with 2058 original miles. Has all documentation and look and smells brand new. Passenger seat has literally been sat in once. Never seen rain. It's unbelievably clean. Thanks in advance

Wow, that's incredible. Considering the mileage, condition and the somewhat rare FRC collectibility and the excellent color, it's got to be worth 20-25k. Possibly more.

I paid, I think, 21,500 for my 99 Arctic white FRC with ~7,000mi, and I think I overpaid a bit.
That being said, I've been very happy with it. I wanted a low mile car so that I could drive it as much as possible and not end up with a 100,000 mile car for a few years at least

Love the color...but I think paying extra for such a low mileage car is a mistake..buyone with miles on it and drive the thing so you can actually enjoy it...
These cars are made to be driven and used for fun...
Paying top dollar and getting a 17 year old 2000 mile vehicle of any kind ...any new owner will again tend to admire in his garage....
If that's what your into...it's cool...just not my thing...
Drive it, use it,,enjoy it ...
Life's too short for anything else..
I'd pass on it...the seals are probably dried out anyway...
Cars are best driven and properly maintained.
Low mileage to me is 5k a year...anything less and I believe dry seals under future use can be an issue
Good luck have fun!

White FRC's are awesome.
Personally, I would say 22-25k tops. I couldn't buy one like that though, I think it would discourage me from driving it too much haha
all in what you want I guess, good luck!

Seals in later model cars are made from modern materials that don't "dry out" like older cars. Like anything, time will take it's toll, but it doesn't make much difference if the car is driven or not as long as it is stored properly, preferably in climate controlled conditions. Seals in cars that are driven a lot are just as likely to leak at some point in time. Seals wear out more often than dry out.

I would say somewhere in the $21-22K range. It is still an 18 year old car that really has not reached a collectible status (if it ever does). The mileage is extremely low and it is a good color/body style, but overpaying just doesn’t make any sense.

I wouldn't be scared to pay a slight premium. The FRC, I believe, are about the rarest group of C5's and they are still a good buy with potential to have some value down the road. Low 20's is not unreasonable for that quality of a car.

Considering how rare a white FRC is in general, and that condition, he can pretty much set his price and someone will pay it. I looked for years before they started popping up and settled for Torch Red

Back in 2010 when I bought my FRC, there was a 2000 model torch red FRC with 2000ish miles on it for sale at $28,500. That was way out of my price range but I came to the conclusion that all the extra money spent for the low mileage condition is lost as soon as you start driving it on a regular basis which was the plan for any car I bought. I bought an model for $15,500 with 49,000 miles and have been thourghly happy with my decision. If that 2000 model were to say have 50,000 miles on it now seven years later, what would it be worth?
As to the original question it goes back to the universal answer, it’s worth whatever someone is willing to pay.

I go with most others above, low to mid 20 thousand range. I've got a sweet tooth for white C5's, love the FRC body style. I've always been willing to pay extra for a minty low mileage example of any car I'm really interested in. Well, I don't think it will be for sale for very long.

I kind of fall in this category with my car. Although I don't have miles that low. I paid 15500 for my 00 FRC with only 25k. One owner, always garaged and covered. LT headers and full Magnaflow exhaust. Came with a few other little goodies. I almost don't want to drive it, because it doesn't have not one scratch on it. We have tons of idiot drivers out here.

If you plan on really driving the car then it would be a waste to pay extra for the low miles. I suggest 25-30k miles would be a good buy. That car is meant to be a garage queen.
