    Couple questions on bringing a 94 Coupe back to life

    great thread! I may come back and look at this from time to time since I have driven my 93 one time since October, and probably started it a total of 3 times!:mad

    How many white top/red c5 Vert's?

    Wondering if there is any special value to this: Red 2002 C5 Vert, with a white factory top. It was special ordered that way. Car only has 700 miles so it is basicly in the wrapper. Car was offered to me for sale and i ran all the $$ numbers, but is there any consideration in value for the...

    first c3?

    I would bet you could find a driver c4 for 3-4K easier than you could a c3. I have seen 84's and 85's for sale in my area for less than $4K, and some late 80's early 90's C4's for 6-8K. As far as trading, that would be a problem since nothing talks louder that cold hard cash.

    NASCAR, not Johnson, driving fans away

    I will watch if they: 1. Run a couple figure 8 races. The ones on an oval see #2 2. Right when they say start your engines the grand marshal pulls one of two cards. One says "turn left" the other, "turn right". They start the race going in the direction on the card pulled, run 1/2 way and...

    40th Anniversary fake 40th anniversarys

    I belive this kind of listing or advertising is what the original poster was talking about. I usually see this type of stuff from dealers (no offense to those dealers that know what they are doing), and it seems like it is usually the "exotic" car guys. How many of us have looked at a corvette...

    40th Anniversary fake 40th anniversarys

    It does not really bother me, however I have seen a number of 1993 cars listed for sale as "40th Anniversery" cars. Yes all 93's with leather seats have the 40th logo but the "edition" had the logo's, the ruby red, the ruby red center caps, ruby interior, and on the verts, the ruby top. No other...

    Owing IRS — Auto Loan Denied!

    My reply to auto loans is not a popular one. Dont get one. Save up the money and pay cash. Now people will argue that if they wait, they will miss the car they want, and if it is somthing like C-4 ZR-1 this could be the case but doubtful. Also, when you walk up to a buyer with a fist full of...

    $10.000.00 trade up

    Fever hit me again.... for a while. I drove by a dealer today and there was a 2003 50th package vert. sitting there. I got to wondering just how long it would take my wife to realize I had a new Vette with the 50th in the garage versus the 40th:cool (it took her about a week to realize I...

    News: Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

    I did not watch but I got the point. I was actually talking to a sales manager at a Ford store and this is what he said about the clunkers program: Before the clunkers there were huge rebates on just about everything. A good buyer could negaotiate on the price and add the rebates plus the...

    C4..decline....or not

    Yep. That is what I was talking about. This one is expensive but runs, is kept in a garage and looks like a nice car: Corvette 1988, 125k miles This one has been on here ALL summer and was listed las fall (notice the leaves falling) His price is not finding a buyer: 1985 chevy corvette...

    C4..decline....or not

    No, I would put my cash in my pocket and move on to the next 84 that is out there for sale. Or to the 85 or 86 or 87 that has better performance for slightly more $$. When these things sit on CL the whole summer at these prices there is no demand. No demand impacts the price. Sure my C-4 has...

    Why do people tailgate Corvettes?

    Great thread! Thanks for bringing this back from the dead. I dont think it is any different here in WI than it is anywhere else. I live in the south part of the state and drive a major highway to work 15 miles. This is the main arttery from IL into WI. Now we like all of the IL people (some...

    C4..decline....or not

    C-4 Values Sorry for the long post here but this is a good story: Here in WI and I imagine just like anywhere it seems as if your early C-4s with miles are cheap. There is an 84 on CL with 167K and they are asking $4995. It was 3995 but the dealer said they were tired of low ball offers. (I...

    $10.000.00 trade up

    If you need to finance then you cant afford it. I also had the "fever" to "upgrade" to a C-5 or possibly a 2005 C-6. I started counting the cash I would need in addition to my C-4. Needless to say, the cash felt better in my hand than in a dealers, and the C-4 looks just as nice in my driveway...

    the decline of the C4

    I logged on and yes I see a few cheap c-5s. I did notice a Z06 with 100K+ miles but I wondered how ligit it was since it looked like a long throw shifter. It was a blue one. Thanks

    the decline of the C4

    Denny, sounds like you and I are on the same page. If I am ever in AZ I will look you up :beer I saw an ad here for a 90's c4, with high miles, and the guy "needed" 12800 since he owed 7800 and needed 5K in cash since that is what he put down on the car. :ugh

    the decline of the C4

    It sounds like you were in new car sales with the c-4's and c-5's. Just curious, but did you see a difference in the number of buyers that financed the c-5 versus the c-4? I know you did not sell the c-6 but I wonder what % of those buyers finance versus just write a check? However when the...

    the decline of the C4

    a few quick notes.... I have seen 2 c-5's in the high teens from Private sellers and these are high milage cars. Seems like the low milage CE with lt4's are holding or lt4 cars in general. I have seen a few 40th cars that the sellers want 20k plus and I have seen your 90-95 cpe's listed from...
