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?

Id be curious to know how reliable this has been for the owner...if the

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.

Title: what a waste of time.

So here I am, making a new blog since my previous one was kind of a bust. The day before I write my first CSC exam. It’s so hard to study in front of a computer, and I really should get back to studying. Mad procrastination.
¬_¬

Anyways, hopefully I’ll be a little more successful at regularly updating this blog. To end the first post, here’s some pictures of post-Imporfest 2009. Congrats to Caleb for getting 3rd in the 06-09 Civic/CSX category. It’s well deserved.
