Default Did I overpay???

OK,,, I know opinions vary,,,, so on and so on.

I THOUGHT I got a great deal on my car, but looking through the forums lately at what people think cars are worth,,,,,maybe not.

I've had 2 C4's, and wanted a C5

SO !!!

1997 6 Speed Silver/Black ,,,75,000 miles,,,,100% stock and unmolested,,,VERY clean car inside and out 9+

Let hear your thoughts !!!!

What did you pay? What options are on it? Need some basics first....

Hard to answer your question unless we know how much you paid.

How can we say if you got a good deal or not if you don't list the price you paid?

As others have said, hard to say not knowing what you paid, but I would venture to say 12-14K would be a fair price. I say just enjoy it now. If you are enjoying it, it is worth every penny you paid for it. I like mine so much I have to remind myself all the time that it is actually worth about half of what my other two vehicles are worth, but I tend to take better care of it than I do them as far as keeping it clean and such.

Chuck, are you thinking the 9+ is what he is saying he paid? I thought that was a 9 out of 10 thing as far as condition.

Who cares. Just enjoy Corvette life.

FWIW, I might have overpaid by a little bit myself but it's no big deal. Don't sweat it.

Someone once told me, once you buy something do not continue to check to see if you got a good deal, you will eventually find a better deal. Like said above to late to do anything about it now, just enjoy it.

I assumed 9+ was the condition as well.

If you paid betewwm $9&10k and it's in good condition then I think you got a great deal.

If this makes you feel better....I probably overpaid....2001, head-up display, driver & passenger pwr seats, 9+ condition, 47K miles. I paid $21K, but in the scheme of things, I plan on keeping it for a long time, I appreciated how it was maintained and if I ever go to sell it, it will be worth less than I paid.
