Is this your car or are you thinking of buying? In any case this is a classic www.kbb.com "private party' value minus 50%. That re-built title follows the car for the rest of it's life. The old albatross around the neck. A lot depends on the reason for the title too. Flood cars can be a real nightmare at any price, yet an accident car with no chassis or frame damage might be a consideration.
In my zip code this car is a $20,000 car all day long with those ultra low miles, but with the bad title, a $10,000 car. If you are looking to buy the car and if you absolutely love the C5 I wouldn't pass it up for $11,000 or $12,000 but that's your call. That extra $$ won't hurt you if you keep the car for a few years or longer. If you are selling, ask whatever you feel comfortable with but expect pricing in this same ballpark. Are these prices close? What's the deal?

If you are selling the car, I'd be very interested. But I would agree with what NC01TA has said.

It is priced right but still quite a gamble. The flood history is the worst news possible. Such a shame for such a low mileage car.
