Default What can I expect to get for my low mile '04 Coupe?

I have a Spiral Grey 2004 coupe for sale locally and I am not sure what I should be asking for the car. The car has the high polished aluminum wheels, 1SB option package, and body side moldings. The car only has 500 miles.

I'd say mid $30k's...remember used C6's are hitting the market w/ under 2000 miles in the very low $40k's range. Also, towards the end of '04 a lot of dealers were selling the last year model at a huge discount of around $38K+TTL.

If its a 6-spd it will sell easier. What price range did you have in mind...I might be interested?

Asking prices seem to be in mid to upper $30s.

Actual selling prices are more in the $33 to $36 range.

I think you just summed up what so many have a hard understanding....difference between asking price and true selling price .

These 2 just sold on Thursday at the auction.
2004 Corvette CV AUTO 3,916 MILES RED 41,500
2004 Corvette CP AUTO 140 MILES RED 36,700
Corvette prices remain strong for low mileage clean cars.The release of the C-6 did not hurt C-5 sales at all.

Your car should be worth close to 36000.
The question more than why are you selling, is why did you buy it and now want to sell it with only 500 miles?

I sold my 04 silver 2500 mile car to Carmax for $35000 about 7 weeks ago. Much more than any offers from individuals. I'd suggest a dealer auction if you can find a buddy to get you in.

I bought a 2004 red coupe with 6k miles for $35k private sale last month. I would say to hold out for $36k.

I agree it will bring 35 to 35.5 at the auctions. I'm going to take a yellow 02 Z06 with 1300 miles next week to see what she will do.

Bought my 04' with 2100 miles on it 3 weeks ago. It had B&B cat back, Blackwing, and Loyds floor/cargo mats. Paid $34000 for it...And it perfect, not even a rock chip, never seen rain...

Out of curiosity.... what were the '04 coupes going for when they were first being offered by the dealers here on the forum? I know many of us paid in the $38-$39K range last year(I bought in Feb/04), so I would think $34K is a pretty decent selling price with somewhat low miles. I'm thinking about going to an Infiniti G35 and will probably hit Carmax first to see what they will give me for my '04 with 4100 miles. At least it will give me some kind of idea.

Yeah they were offering 10K off the sticker late last year. I think he picked mine up for $39K in October last year...

Forum dealers were 20% off last year.
