Coupe. 100,000 miles. Silver exterior, black interior, automatic
transmission. Good shape, some wear on driver`s seat.
Opinons as to value? Opinions as to whether this is too many miles on a
C-5?

owner is yourself ? What has failed on the car ?
Thanks, Dave

No way to put a value on a car sight unseen, it will be what ever the owner
wants to take and the buyer wants to give, that`s the only thing that will
establish the final price (value). If you run Kelley Blue book to get a
value you will need more information than you are giving. Some options have
value, some don`t, like automatic or manual air-conditioning. Where you live
will sometimes make a difference. Best guess is it value is short of $15,000
if it`s loaded with no bad wear showing.
Get it`s service record, available at any Chevrolet dealer, has it had one
item that failed a number of times? I doubt that it has with that many miles
on it they must have spent some time on the road instead of in the shop.
What is to many miles, a well cared for C5 should go 250,000 without a major
overhaul, poor usage, environment, and neglect will eat into that very
quickly. There was a 1997 Corvette turned 100,000 miles in mid 1998, I doubt
that that one is a garage queen. I`ve never heard of a C5 needing an
overhaul except for their oil eating on some new ones that should have been
repaired under warranty, not from high mileage.
If you`re buying, never approach a Corvette as if it`s a seller market and
be able to walk away. If you have any misgivings about the car don`t let
it`s appeal allow you to make a mistake. If you`re selling, hang onto your
shorts, it`s going to go low or you`re going to own it next year if a blurry
eyed buyer doesn`t find you.
