They're giving them away!!

Buying a vette is a tough act because we all have our own values as far as mileage, condition, color and year.

The only reason l got a fair deal is that l waited and knew what l wanted and had the cash available.

l tried to go wholesale, but the only vettes available were the C5's and they went for 22-24 thou (98's)

lf the economy was better, l would have went for a C5, because they are light years ahead of the C4's.

Maybe next year when the C6's come out and the economy changes.

The diff in price between a C4 with 25k and 55k is maybe $500, and then over 65k the price drops down to 13thou and so on.

But on the other hand a cherry early C4 (85 and later) with low mileage is a sweet car.

The older C3's and C2's are fabulous for local driving or sunny day driving only.

I'm looking at a 91 Zr1...100K on the odometer...for $12,800!!! Needs about $1,600 work...carpets, seat covers, and ride control.... Anyone interested in buying it from me, say for $20K?? )

Hard to put a price tag on something that you love. I wonder what the older C-4's will be worth in 10 years? In good condition of course.

$11,999 FOR A 95 WITH 77k MILES

Well it sold on the 15th for the BIN price of $12k

Looks to me as though the c4's have just about hit bottom on the resale side. Eventually the c5's will crash down even further. Then as with any kind of Corvette cycle the older c4's except the 84 model (Chevy made tons of those) will start to move up. Especially a clean low mileage version. Certain models 86 vert, the anniv cars, collector edition and the zr1 should eventually start climbing in price. Always remember, we all cant put a price on our Vettes!!!! I personally feel that mine is priceless and im sure everyone feels the same!!!! By the way, there is an almost to good to be true sounding 95 zr1 for sale. I think its 28k with just a touch over 30k miles on it. Thats a deal!!! If the car checks out...write a check!!! Keep on !!!!

I'm sure the prices for the C4's and C5's will come down when the C6's come out but till then we have to deal with the price range that's out there. I bought my 94 with 67k in mint condition except for tires for $8300 in Jan...clean carfax..thanks to timmb..4 new tires for $250 on ebay. Can't wait for snow to melt to drive it.

Great Buy!!!!!!!!

Sumoboy, that is a great buy on a 94, even though the mileage is a little high, but in mint condition, again super buy.

Did you hold his family ransom to get that price?

Real wholesale is approx $9500.

Boy l would love to do business with the person you bought the car from.

What was orig asking price for the vette $5000!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sumoboy]

The company I work for hired him (truck driver) and I saw the vette in the parking lot but didn't know it was his and asked everyone who's it was but nobody knew. I saw him get out of it a few days later and was kidding about selling it. He said "do you want to but it?" I said how much, "I'm asking $9500" I told him it needed tires and a tune up at least $1500. Iwas going to offer him $8500 but he said I sell it to you for $8300 cash. after that it was a done deal.
:J

I found out he was low on cash to buy a pickup and needed it right away. For once "right place at the right time"

On my other post (yokohama A520) I did buy 4 new tires for $250

Regardless of what prices are doing in the free market, I've observed that E-bay is not the place to get top dollar for your car. I think it is more advantageous for the buyer.

C4 values have really dropped in the last 12 months......no doubt.......but condition and mileage do still have a big influence on the actual selling price......mint cars with low mileage will still bring a dollar.......on the other hand.....there is no better sports car on the amrket than the C4 to get into a REAL sports car for little money.......I still would drive my C4 ten times over than getting a C5

 

[kingman]

Let's get Real!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alex

Even though l respect your opinion and l also own a 96 C4, the C5 is light years ahead of the C4, in every respect.

l've driven the C5 and would have bought a used one, but the new model is coming out and l'm going to drive my C4 for two more years and then move up.

As far as e-bay is concerned it's a starting point. l bought my vette from a guy who thought his car was worth much more then it was actually worth.

 

[sumoboy]

Good example of a C4 worth the money.

Ebay 93 Anniv

The seller is D-m motorsports out of Chicago, they have been bidding on allot of corvettes for last couple of months.

Their bids have been realistic for a dealer where he has to give some kind of warranty and make a profit.

This car is worth the money if this is the car you want.
lf you want to drive this vette around town, it will be worth 1/2 as much after a year.

But if you keep it to show only, then it is worth it.

Every Corvette will eventually appreciate to a certain degree. As always certain models will appreciate more than others. To me all Corvettes are quality models deserving of loving owners.
