Agreed, it was the lowest mile comparable car I could find doing a national search. The OPs car reminds me of the low mile, excellent condition cars you see advertised on Roger’s Corvette website in Orlando, FL. Saw the dog too, he looked like a keeper for sure

Somethin's going on with the C4s. Anybody watch the Mecum auction this weekend?

Krystal

It's a C4..........the problem with your near PERFECT low mileage car is found in what it's up against.

Today the market for the C4 over-all is pretty weak. What you have with your car is what real estate agents always warn against.

You've clear got the very best high -end house but it's located in a BAD NEIGHBORHOOD filled with C4s selling a rock bottom prices for Corvettes.

This doesn't make your car a POS......it just makes it harder to fetch higher prices you might ask for it.

A '93 has some things going for it.,,,,,it's the first year of the LT1 and I'd argue the first Corvette to TRULY ESCAPE the era of Low Power for cleaner tail pipe emissions trade off.

Getting a GOOD PRICE for this car is going to require some time and the right buyer..... as others have already said you'll have to decide if your willing to "wait" or how much are you willing to come down for a speedier sale because I'd be SHOCKED to hear you have much attraction to a price that exceeds $20,000.

'92 was the first year for the second coming of the LT1.

Wow. Thank you guys for the conversation. I have done some digging but need to do more.
If anyone is interested or knows a buyer, do get in touch with me. Thanks all!

ON 8TH

I passed on a lot of automatics,finally found a 6Spd,43k miles, paid $13.900 Jan of 17,no hard top,didn't want 1 anyway.

Local but a Coupe,adj accordingly.
$ 21,900.00
1993 Coupe 40th Anniversary Ruby Red with Ruby Red Interior Only 18k Miles!!! NCRS Top Flight! LT-1 5.7 Liter 300 HP with 6 Speed Manual Transmission. Equipped with Electronic Air Conditioning, Delco Bose AM / FM Stereo Cassette and CD Player, Six Way Power Drivers and Passenger Sport Seats, Transparent Roof Panel, Acceleration Slip Regulation, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Windows, Power Door Locks, Power Antenna, Rear Window Defogger, Electronic Speed Control, Dual Remote Heated Mirrors and Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel, Tilt Steering Column Passive Keyless Entry and Lock. If you have been waiting for a car that looks almost as new, with very low miles, then please take a moment and stop by to see this one. When they are this nice, they do not last long! When this car was NCRS Flight Judged it scored 100%. It has been driven very sparingly by a mature owner since then and I would expect it would again earn another Top Flight if judged today. Simply said, one of the finest Ruby's available!. . . . . $21,900.

oh I didn't know that. I could've sworn it was mix matched

Here's a couple pic's of my 40th w/ 28K on the clock. I am second owner and just judged NCRS Top Flight.......would not take less then 25K but not FS. I don't think the OP is off base on 30K -33K on value. If he had the hardtop and 6 spd even higher. Low mileage, unmolested Ruby's are getting strong and rare, especially 'verts. GLWTS

Thank you all for the comments... I will look over on BaT, Mecum and Bj for comps. Was on my docket list to complete when I had time. Thank you all.

Krystal

Yeah.....you're right......we owned a '96 Camaro Z28SS for 12 years before my husband sold it. So I had heard many times that 1993 was the first year of the LT1...... I simply forgot that the Corvette got the new motor 1 year sooner.

N227GB

No, didn't catch it. What's the scoop?

I did hear about a pristine 35th go for a crazy amount of money about a month ago, but it was a charity auction.

Greg Gore

Roger's Corvette Center in Orlando, FL currently has four C4s listed with miles in the OP's range. I would call Roger to discuss how to market this car.

Roger specializes in offering extremely low miles Corvettes for premium prices and has been in the the Corvette business at that location for many years.

Forgot about Rogers Corvette. Excellent reputation and their prices are firm. Used to have a large selection of C-4's but looks like it has dwindled down to a few Collector Edition and GS models.

FWIW, here is the Hagerty Valuation Guide prices for a 1993 Corvette Convertible

Thank you guys!

I will call Roger and pick his brain...

cv67

Mecum and BJ prices only happen there. Forums, ebay forget it.
Good luck .

Like Krystal said youre going to need a lot of patience, 30k is crazy money for any C4
Ultra low mi ZR-1s get less. Hope you get your $ but dont be upset if someone comes in at substantially less.
You need to find the guy who wants no other car than yours, is an NCRS guy etc. Not sure the C4 is there yet but who knows.

This is where I bought my 96. Buys low mileage and retails above market. Great people!

bac22

More then $10k but less the $20K would be my guess...but I'd be curious to hear what Roger's has to say.

That's not factually realistic. I'm the original owner of my '96, and when I took delivery, there were all kinds of 'little' things wrong with it...including some small scratches in the clear coat. It looked/looks exactly as it did when it rolled off the assembly line, which means that it's not perfect. I spent decades working in an O.E.M. auto plant, so I understand how this used to happen.

Since I bought the car with an eye toward keeping it new long-term, I addressed all the minor mechanical stuff myself and then left the cosmetic stuff alone so it would indeed remain 'as delivered'. The integrity of the production process at the Bowling Green plant in 1996 left a bit to be desired, but that's now a correct part of my car's historical heritage. It's reasonable to assume that the assembly process before 1996 wasn't substantially better, so there will almost certainly be difference between "mint (as produced)" and "perfect". I don't know how attuned to this fact the NCRS really is, but if they're judging to a "perfect" standard, then they're doing a disservice to factual history.

Greg Gore

NCRS uses typical factory production as their standard and deducts points for any parts which have been over-restored. In the case of the early C3 for example, cars only had one coat of color and the left side of the car may look different than the right side because the same painter did not paint both sides. The paint was only polished on top and part way down the sides. Primer showing through the top coat under the lip over the rear window was correct as well as primer showing through the bottom of the body panels under both bumpers was typical factory production. It is difficult to find someone who will paint a Corvette correctly as per typical factory production because practically no painter wants put his name on low quality work which is why over-restored, perfect paint is so common to find.
