I would say it's the miles and price that it hasn't sold yet. Very nice car by the way

Five weeks on the market and not so much as an email or phone call to speak of. What's going on?

She's listed here, my local forum aizonacorvetteenthusiasts.net, Craig's List, AutoTrader, Cars.com, in both newsprint & online versions of my local paper.

How long has it been taking to sell your C5's in the recent market?

BTW, we have new baby is on the way (TPW 8/6: 1YY07, 89U, 316, LS3, MX0, 3LT, QX3, F55, U3U, GU2)
My 2 cents. I can sell $3500 passenger cars all day long. Real easy. I am now trying to sell my 05 Buick LeSabre with 18k miles on it. ($18k range.) Market has been slow until yesterday. About 10 calls. Several interested in it, but we have had rain on and off all week. Two appts today, but tons of rain. Once you get into the price range of $15k,
$25k or more, the market is very limited and slow.

Take it over to the Pavillions at Indian Bend and the 101 on Saturday night, 1st Saturday of the month is "Corvette Night". Leave a small For Sale sign on the front seat. Lots of Corvette enthusiasts circulate up there.
Good luck on your sale.

It's the price..... it will sell, you just have to find the right price.

Beautiful car, price and miles are what's killing you. Most people look at mods as a PRICE DETRACTOR on a used sports car. Clean ORIGINAL CONDITION cars bring the most $$$$$$$. It also doesn't hurt to have a little old man or lady as the seller. Everyone WANTS A VIRGIN!

Dan. its a high mileage car and needs to be priced accordingly. I agree with the other comments about returning it to stock. Most owners do NOT modify their cars and are leery of people who have done so. They have a tendency to believe that you have a "hot rod" that you may have abused. For best sale, retune to stocj as much as possible, don't mention modifications, sell the heads, cam, diff, headres, etc and collect the bucks for them. If you didn't save the stock parts, offer swap out deals with local people. There are a ton of us in AZ that would like the heads and cam, differential, headers. I am in NH for the summer or I would PM you about the heads and cam.
