Hmm, I would be more inclined to think you could get one for $10k-ish, depending on where you look and how long you hold out for the right deal.

I'd give it a strong $10,000. Low miles and good documentation go a long ways IMHO; and its very (way cool)

Boy some of you guys are really low balling the value of this car, assuming that it's in excellent condition. If he gets it for $10k as some of you suggested then he's getting a steal. This car should go for around $13k with the low miles and being a vert.

I would say 12 or 13k. More because it's a vert. :)

That's what I said :yesnod: Low miles, well maintained, and a Vert means higher price. I'm sure you could find one with 100k miles for 10k, but this car sounds better than that. And as BK added, trans and color can also be a factor. Either way, be sure to drive it and look it over real good :yesnod:

Low mileage is not good, I say around $10k also. For $13k you can get a nice LT1 car.

(I say this because why would someone want to pay that much for a C4 when they can get a C5 for the same price?-unless it's something they just have to have).

I couldn't disagree more. You may say low miles cars have numerous problems from underuse, but we're talking resale value and people look for low mile vehicles when buying.
As for the second part about getting a C5 for the same price ($13k), where are they? I've never seen a C5 for anywhere near that cheap. Not even wrecked.

There are cheap C5's everywhere. Low miles will kill these cars, I know from experience. I wouldn't buy a car from someone who didn't care enough to drive the thing.

:iagree:

You will be replacing every single seal in that car as soon as you start racking up the miles and you'll be taking a huge depreciation hit if you decide to sell it.

not as much depreciation as a 100k or more mile car to START with though. I have a cj7 that i restore it has 130k miles on it doesn't bother me a bit i mean it is a 84 i also hav a toyota 4x4 truck with 80k on it but i hope i NEVER see my vette with 100k or more miles.

Seriously Mojo, I think you're real cool and an ultimate C4 guru, but I can't agree with you on the low mileage. My 85 has been well cared for despite being driven rarely and she runs like a champ :yesnod: Everyone I've talked to has been impressed by my "new" 85, except you...Low miles is bad. period.. if it hasn't been driven daily then the vette has been neglected and must have more problems that a 150k mi. car... :crazy:
