Default 1995 c4 359000 miles on it

Ok guys I have a 1995 coupe with 359000 miles on it. stock motor stock trans . Runs great and still averages 22 miles to the gallon.
I need to sell it and not really sure what the car is worth. don't laugh at the miles on it. I was planning on fixing it up. I have a new glass top for it new a&b pillar seals for it. A spare lt1 motor for it that's needs to be rebuilt got it to turn into a 383. a/c works great.
no jokeing what would be a fair price to ask for the car. I will get pic's up later tonight.

I wouldn't even know how to price that car... first time I'm hearing of a C4 with that many miles.

Frankly I doubt it's worth trying to sell it. With that many miles, I can't see it going for even $2500. That's assuming you could even find someone interested in a car with that many miles.

Wow thats a lot of miles. Well.. IMO it just comes down to two things. The miles will kill the value as compared to other C4s. But its condition could keep it from being rock bottom too.

If everything worked and it looks decent it might bring $2500 I wouldn't imaging it bringing much over $3000 even if super clean.

Is the engine and tranny factory original? Or had they been rebuilt? How many miles between rebuilds?

Why do you need to sell it? You're not going to pay many bills with its value. Just keep basic liability insurance and keep it on the road. Just my 2 cents. You know your situation best, obviously.

Or donate it to the Corvette Museum and take the write off since you won't get much cash for it.

Can't be too many C4's that have made it to almost 400k.....

I have 161,000 on my 89 ...Now I can honestly tell any prospective buyer that these cars will go 359,000 miles and still run great..I have completely rebuilt my whole car "top to bottom",so maybe now mine will make it that many miles....This is proof of what I have always said, " That it's better to drive these cars, then to put them in a garage and let them sit".....WW

Don't bring it there. It might fall into a sink hole!
