Looks oddly familar...

GLWS, great looking car, considering the miles and condition. I'd say fair price.

Not sure quite how it compares but up here in Canada, 93 Vettes in excellent condition are selling at $9625 average. Yup, I'd say the market is pretty tight for Vettes right now.

that price seems more realistic.

you do have really low miles and a 6 speed but if you want that full price your probably going to have to hold out for a long time to find someone willing to pay a big premium who happens to want that exact car.

Are they selling for that or is that the asking price?... I think the tricky part about selling any Vette that's not a premium C1 or C2 model, is that they're still enough of them out there of the same year and options, that it still makes it tough to get top dollar.

You are fortunate to have the six speed so that will definitely help, but lots of guys who are buying a toy are also willing to ship or drive to get it, so you have to compete with the prices of the guy 1000 miles away who has a six speed too.

Having said that, just yesterday I was dealing on a 92 in California, six speed convertible with 80k miles for $7500. Nope, not nearly as mint as yours, but with a few hours of work it would be a really nice driver and the owner is hard up for cash so the deal was good.

Of course, then there's always the one golden customer who might come along and say 'this is the exact Vette I drooled over when I was a kid' and bingo, you get lucky.

its almost 100% the price, you do have a really nice model but from what i have seen most people buying c4's are looking for either a track car or a driver, so having very low miles and being mint isnt what a lot of people are looking for, they would rather pay half the price for a driven car.

you have to hold out for someone who happens to really love ruby's and is willing to pay the premium for low miles. you should look at what similar c4's are going for on here and on ebay, only sold, not the asking price

thanks for the input.....wont disagree to a point.....but.....as the old saying goes....we get....what we pay for....this is a turn key...do nothing to it but drive it and enjoy...pay half the price...get a driven car....spend big $$ to repair....perhaps paint....then where would one be...????.......i'll sit on it....the right person will come along.....

Lucky, Great car, and I'd say good deal for someone wanting a show toy. There is someone who will pay close to what you are asking. Also advertise locally in papers and local shows. I find that cars sell for more that way. I've been offered way more at shows (even thought I won't sell) than I could ever get on the forum. On the forum, you get competition from all over the country and people are always looking for steals. Hang tough on your price you'll get it from the right guy.

I have been asking $11.5 for my 90 with 43K miles with an FX3 and a 6 speed, and I get lookers but when they hear my price they scoot.

I look at it this way if I can't get what I want out of it, I will drive the money out of the car.

I do enjoy driving the car, so a few years from now it will be a 6K car that someone will buy when it has 100K on it.

I enjoy driving mine too.....fun...fast...these cars are the right combo of old school and modern day....gf dosnt enjoy it too much......so rather than let it sit I'd rather sell it to someone that will drive it more and enjoy it....I'm willing to accept an offer that would make sense......I do think the right person does see it and it'll get sold.....but...if not...I'll just sit on it...drive it when I can....in a few years...it'll be worth more....all good
