Guest stevil Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Hmmm, the guy bought it from a salvage place, and is now dumping it off on eBay. I bet it isn't an as easy a fix as he originally thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFKINPowerz Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Yeah, that dude is trying to off it really quick. Either there is more wrong with it or he got it dirt cheap and is trying to make some quick cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desperado Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Right, easy fix, if you have $10000 to buy the parts. Hell there are 3000 to 3500 air bags blown and that's not the 2000 hood, 1500 in front clip and 1000 in other bullshit before applying the paint that will run another 500 to 1000. These wrecked car deals are NOT deals unless you have access to parts real cheap, and can do ALL the work yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 All most $10k. No thanks, if I wanted one I'd pick up a 98 or 99 after the C6's come out. I bet you'll be able to find decent ones that have not been recked for ~$15k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime a car goes through model change, it's only natural for used prices to drop and I always prefer un-wrecked cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Octane Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 A car is never as good, as it was before it was wrecked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SquirrelyNutsDSP Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Originally posted by nicktcfcsb: Except for Fox bodys I really meant the immediately previous model before the change, but you have a point. Some models don't follow the trend, but Corvettes typically fall in value until they reach ~20 years old, even out and then usually go up again in price.

Nitrousbird Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 You won't be seeing decent 97 C5's in the 15k range. Probably more like 17-19k being more of the norm. Just look at the prices of the late C4's. Right now you can squeeze into a decent 97-98 for around 20k, there are a few out there cheaper, but normally either a rare find or a beaten down example.

I'd love to pick one up around this time I'm speaking of. But I think after 6 months to a year thoes will be all but gone and you've about hit the nail on the head. After that they will slowly depericate but never to the point of older C4's which you can find for sub 5k if you look just becuase these cars are so much faster than thoes.
