I don't want to go back and forth about this ( pissing match). I really enjoy the C5 but just really need to get rid of the loan do to my recent career change. I also enjoyed my C4 and owned it for many years. According to NADA i'm actually kinda close with the 7G. I do how ever realize that this is a mainly a C4 site ( a great one I must add) so value is in the eye of the beholder.

This isn't just a C4 site. It's a Corvette site, you're in the right place.
Don't worry about negative comments, it's your car, the market will make all the comments you need to hear.

Sorry about the bump in the road you've hit.

I sent the link to a friend of mine that has a C4 and has been looking for a good C5. Might be up his alley, and it might not.

Looking at 2000 prices across the board, this is reasonable.

Yea, there are 2000s out there for less and they are out there for way more.
There are also many who think their C4s are worth a bundle.

I appreciate the kind words guys and forwarding the link to a friend. I realize that this isn't just a C4 site but also know that the majority of Vette owners here own a C4. If I can answer any questions please send them my way.

Thanks again ,

I haven't really thought about the value of my car to tell ya the truth. i know I purchased it last Oct (2008) for around 16,000.00 and have put about 2000.00-3000.00 into it since I've owned it( Vararam, Cat-back, tires, Chuck cow tune, dynomat insulation, MGW shifter ( new style), C6 Sway-bars and Metal end-links, C6 Shocks and i'm sure theres more that I have forgotten. Value though is a good question that I really don't know the answer to. I guess I would have put more thought into that if i was looking to sell it out right but I'm not @ this time.

I'm not trying to be critical, just stating it might be a good idea to price it out in your area so that you can be in a better position to negotiate. Good luck.

That's a really good idea. I'll do Autotrader search tomorrow to see what 2000's r going for ( or what there asking lol) within a distance of 300 miles of me and put a cash price accordingly.

Thanks for the input

Looks clean and not a bad deal. I'd do some dealing with you as I would prefer a C5 over my C4, but things are way too tight right now. Good luck!

I just did a Autotrader search for a 2000 M6 in my area ( with in 300 miles) . The prices people want for these cars this time of year ( or any lol) is incredible. I dont think time of years matters to much for what i'm trying to do because the car I would be taking in would be worth less ( damn winter) also. The lowest price one was marked @ $16,995.00 and that was out of 13 of them forsale in my "area". So if I was going to set a price it sounds like the 16,500.00 would be fair.

Thanks again for the input , Rob

Just keep in mind, selling price does not equal asking price.

Over at CF, people ask some amazing prices for their C5s. Those cars are still for sale.

If for some reason you still have the car in March and have not sold it, I would be interested. Keep us posted!

I have had a decent response from it. I've had about 6-7 inquires some wondering if I would come down a bit on the $ needed and with the cars they were offering it was a good question (low mils LT4) but I'm not currently in the financial position to be able to do that. A few have just been to far away (Georgia and Florida). I figure I could meet some-one with in 10 hours from me (each owner traveling 5 hours). I've had a couple of owners contact me via PM/email; I've contacted them back and am awaiting a response. I've had two people that responded and there car's just wasn’t anything I was interested in at this time ( to much work needed or a early C4)I'm sure the right person will come along soon enough that wants a C5 and has some spare cash to go along with there C4. It’s a hard time of year for most to have spare funds hanging around and I understand that.

I am wondering if you are putting too many constraints on this deal.

If you get $6k cash, that removes 90% of the loan debt... the last $1k will go quickly.

Also, the distance issue... I would think as long as you had a weekend, take it.

Too many caveats and restrictions only make you look priggish...

Good points on both, I would be willing to travel more distance if need be. The xtra loot $ maybe a issue because I don't have the additional funds to pay of the note so the title could be released. Although I never put thought into taking out a new loan for lets say a 1000.00 on the a C4 to pay off the current note on the C5. I never looked at it that way lol.

That opens up allot more options and thanks for opening my eyes .

Nope not yet. I'm in no huge hurry so if it takes awhile or doesn't happen that will be fine. I've been offered a few L98 cars but i really want to give a LT1 a try this time around. Sorry for taking so long to answer your question for you. For some reason i'm not getting a email when some-one post to the thread. I'll have to make sure I have the right email addy on file here.

The email handler was all fouled up by a software upgrade to the hosts servers. We got hit by old forum software and new network software that meets the latest spam regs. And it sucks.
