Its only worth about 2000.00, but I will give you 2500.00, if you ship.

Nice car. Start out at $16 and resist lowering if you are not in a hurry. If someone asks will you take X amount. Ask if that is an offer that they will buy or just consider. Never lower the amount just for someone to think about.

Remember one important fact. The final selling price has more to do with the original asking price than any other factor.

And to other forum members. Why do you want to devalue the C5's? Get out there and fight to keep the price up.
