Anyone selling their Corvette?

[Vet Guru]

Seems to be a lack of any age of Corvette about for sale as the moment, Are Vette owners happy and just not selling them? I think their is lack of any late American cars at the moment. This may be because they are being sold back to Europe?

[Black-C5]

I sold my C5 recently. It was advertised both on Pistonheads and on Autotrader. The majority of interest came from Europe and in the end I sold it to a chap in Sweden. Had a few people interested from the UK, but they either failed to turn up for a viewing, or were just tyrekickers.

My first intention was to replace the C5 with a C6, but I quickly realised there were precious few for sale in the UK and I couldn't find one in exactly the right colour/spec/price. Bought a Merc SL instead. Sorry, chaps!

Probably sell my '04 ZO6 Le Mans but will wait until the Spring, too near to Xmas to do it now.

Possibly

If someone wants to offer me a 'silly' price (High now Low!!!) for my C3 it can go - mind you, anything else I own can go for the 'right' money too!

Had a few tyre kickers and one serious piece of interest but no sale as yet. Guess it's not quite the car you would normally go buying in the winter! lol!

4 speed or 6 speed auto mate?

As a 4 speed auto, presumably with out nav (you've not mentioned it) and as a US import (limiting your market), even with the low mileage I think it needs to be £24,995 before he gets some geniune interest in it, especially when the car below is Euro spec, 2 years newer, paddleshift and has nav and remaining manufacturers warranty -

Yep, maybe even a tad less..

[Boosted LS1]

^ and a bit less again. Then you can buy it

[roscobbc]

The problem with C6's is that we all tend think of them as being 'new' cars - when in reality the cars can be 4 to 5 years old - no way (irrespective of mileage) can £30K 'ish be a realistic value for something which would have 'only' been £40/46K equivalent new.

[ringram]

Ultimately supply and demand will set the price

[panic]

I might be selling my lightened (to 1.260kgs) and fully modded (suspensions, brakes, drivetrain, ''American speed'' 575HP SB engine...) C3 to a good home...
