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.

==================
With all those Miles racked up. The car sure has been on the road much more
then in the shop that is for sure... So it must have been pretty reliable...
lol
Without seeing the car it is kind of hard to "judge" what it would be worth
to me.... BUT
I would shell out somewhere between 12-15 K for it IF it were in pretty
good cosmetic shape... Milage really does not bother me... of my 5 Corvettes
only my 95 has under 100,000 miles ...I kind of like driving them .. plus I
can turn a wrench and do my own work ..

Title: Tuning: Mansory CYRUS based on Aston Martin DBS or DB9
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 12:15:13 +0000
Author: Trance4you
Mansory tuning house presents the Cyrus aerodynamic kit for the the Aston Martin DBS or the DB9. The Cyrus emphasises masculinity and power with the carbon fibre wing extensions, newly designed rear skirt with the integrated diffuser and provides space for four stainless steel and pipes of the sonorous sport exhaust system.
The two slotted right domes on the carbon fibre bonnet send extra air into the 12 cylinder engine. The car squats on large 9×20 front and 10.5×21 rear specially-insincere striking rims wrapped in 255/30ZR20 front and 295/25ZR21 rear Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres. The coilover suspension has been adjusted to lower the centre of gravity and upgrade street property for providing the best road holding.
Read more (details and photos)!!
Mansory’s definition of luxury extends to the interior where tailor-made carbon fibre parts are found. They involve some bits from the console, the centre console and the re-designed steering controls. Foot gearshift was made of aluminium while the door sills and head rests feature embroidered CYRUS logos. Hand-stitched leather covers the seats, parts of the dashboard and inside the door panels.
