Default A buddy of mine is looking for a vette!

He is looking for a FRC with low miles. Probably around 35K miles if he can find one. 99 or 00. All stock or minor mods like catback or filter. How much do you think he should pay for a mint one? I was thinking around $22k to $23k for one that is 100% clean and well taken care of. I have seen a few over on corvette forums going for about $23,000. Anybody know? I was thinking about selling him mine.

Thanks,
Paul.

A friend of mine has this one for sale. It is a very nice Corvette.

2000 Nassau Blue Fixed Roof Coupe (1 of 189)
*$21,500*
Hurst 6 Speed Shifter
Custom Exhaust (modified Borla XR1)
K&N FLPK Air Intake
Mallett T1 front sway bar
Z06 Rear sway bar
Penske F1 reservoir adjustable shocks with 2" Drop
Z06 Front/Rear Wheels with new F1 Supercars
GMPP Slotted and Drilled rotors
DRM brake bias spring
Blackouts
Front Z06 screens.
3.90 rear gears
Z06 Clutch
Wet Okole Seat covers
Odometer reads 77983

The transmission or clutch is making some noise in 3rd to 6th gear. The car drives fine but will need that looked at.

Also needs the recall taken care of on the steering lock. I have the notice on my desk.

It has stayed in the garage until 3 months ago. I had to have the garage for parts from my business that I moved back to the house. It is under a custom car cover in the drive. It needs the driver seat belt replaced, I have full set of take outs from another FRC that look brand new. It has a small door ding on the driver side. Needs a good cleaning from being in storage. New baby has changed my focus on activities. I am camping and boating now. I will replace the Vette later in life when we can both enjoy it...

how much would you want for it??? How many mils. i am trying to firgure out what a good price is. i have seen ones going between 21- 25 but personally I think 25 is insane because you can buy a 01 z06 with 20k miles for 29 at a dealership.

79k miles, but I dont think im selling it as of yet, so no prices.

I actually had a lady come to my house several times and offered me 26k the first time, then it went up to 29k.

Im sure I could make a little money off of it, but there is something about it.
