Default Future Price on 2004 Coupe

I will be selling my 2004 Silver/Black MN6 Coupe this Summer. Probably sometime after June 20th. The car has never seen rain and has seen about 10 coats of Zaino. It will have around 2100-2500 miles by then. The car is a late build (end of June 04) and will be under warranty for two more years. Except for a few microscopic rock pecks from the trip home from buying it (400 miles) the car is and will be BRAND NEW. I never drive it, it just sits in the Garage. It has a blackwing and Route 66 B&B triflo which I may or may not remove. You can see pics under my avatar.

My question is: What do you think will be a fair price for my car this summer?

Car is located near Memphis

with everything you said I think 35k-36k would be a good price if you sold it yourself as a private party person.

You could probably make more if you just wait.. lots of people debating over and over about the C6 or late C5..

$33 to $35 is about right.

Default Options?

What options does the car have?

HUD? Magnetic selective? Z51?

Do you have a glass roof or only the painted one?

Looks very nice! Should be popular when it is up for sale.

The car is fully loaded except it does not have a glass top and it has FE1 suspension.

Not sure what you mean by FE1 suspension. I only know of Z51 and Magnetic Selective Ride Control (F55). Can you clarify?

I also assume that it has 1SB package?

Any aftermarket mods, or is it stock?

Thanks

What are/were the 2004 C5's selling for new recently?
I believe a fully loaded 1sb car was selling for $38k, right?
You should then ask yourself what would it be worth to a buyer to give up the piece of mind of buying new with zero unknowns, financing incentives, and other benefits.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd need 10k off to give up these benefits.
At least 7k should come off the top, any knoweldgeable will tell you that.

Flame suit on.

I just returned from the auction and a very nice white 2004 coupe with 4200 miles went for 38,500 dealer cost. I would estimate about a 50,000 list when new. prices are increasing every week.
Also a silver 2005 coupe with 7400 miles brought 46,000.

The car has Base Suspension
Read my original post about aftermarket parts.

As far as worth...the car is new and will have no excuses...I am thinking $33k-$35k range.

LowFlight....

I haven't checked into this forum since early December, but checked back in tonight as I very well may be selling my '04 coupe later this year and ran into your post. I have the exact duplicate of your vette... machine silver, 1SB, Z51, B&B Route 66 exhaust, low milage(3300), perfect, never in the rain, etc... except it's an auto. If you are like me we really didn't overpay that much for our '04's(I paid $38.5K), so I am not expecting to take a huge beating compared to some. I will guess I'll be lucky seeing $32K-$33K for mine when I do put it for sale. Good luck on your sell if you decide to do it. I am going something like a '00 Viper when I do sell.

Those prices are to high IMHO people do dumb things at auctions

These are dealers that are going to resell these cars. If they do dumb things, they must all be dumb as prices have been going up steadily for the last 2 months. Those prices are not high. as I said earlier, the market is strong for clean, low mileage cars. Not so for high mileage vettes though.
