Edit - CAR IS SOLD! Congrats to Bob!!!

I've reached a point in my life where I think I'm going to leave the automotive hobby as a participant and become a spectator. So my Corvette is now up for sale.

Dayton, Ohio

Yikes....its the end of an era......good luck with the sale...hope you will still hang with us...

Ya, I know a guy that recently sold his Harley Davidson motorcycle for the same reason. Wasn't using it much. My cars are also falling in use since I retired. I thought I'd be using them more but that's not the case. Good luck with the sale, Bob.

Best of luck, Bob - someone is gonna get a sweet car! Be sure to stick around.

Great Car! It will sell! Clean as a pin and really low mileage!! Good Luck

Sorry to see you go, but someone will get a great car!

sad, but you must do what is best. Good luck on the sale!

Here are two cool C5s in my color. I'd rather have the buckskin colored interior than black. But both are nice. There were about 200 FRC cars manufactured in both 1999 and 2000 according to a thread I searched up on CF.

Bob, I can understand your situation and I hope that you are able to sell it quickly. Someone is going to get a really nice car. Like Marcus said, I hope you'll hang with us after the sale of your beauty.

Nice car Bob good luck hope to see you on the rebound

Looks really good, low miles too.

I was asked how I came up with my asking price. I researched 1988 Corvettes within a certain distance from my home and got a feel for the market. I also asked someone I know in sales that deals with Corvettes. The feeling I got from research and his advice coincided in the $10500-$12000 range. I have priced mine for a bit of a faster sale.
I've gotten some replies asking about bottom dollar. I don't discuss the bottom line if someone isn't either standing in front of me w/$$ or, in a long distance situation, at least having shown me they're genuinely interested. This is because in having sold other cars over the years I've done this only to be called by someone else that thinks the bottom is the start of negotiations. It just creates problems and misunderstanding. If someone is truly serious about buying, I'll know it, then I'll discuss the bottom. Thanks for understanding, and I think most people would do the same in my position.

I think that is a very fair price.

Thanks Matt
