Well, if you need the money, then it needs to be gone. That's the one negative thing about having children, is that sometimes we have to give up a few things...like the vette Sorry man, tough to have to give up a toy, but your child's gotta come first.

Best of luck on the sale bro!

Thats not a bad price, but for the mileage, it might be a little high...even though you owe more than 23k. Since you do have the time, throw an ad out on craigslist etc...you'll find an *** for the seat

I'm probably one of the few (similar to your wife, lol) where I actually prefer my Camaro over a Vette. But my Camaro is mint and only has 27,000 miles.

I'm actually looking to buy a C5 to replace my Audi as a daily driver, except I'm looking to pay ~$16k since it is going to be a DD.

But damn for $20,500 makes me wanna throw down that extra 4, but I'm not in the market till probably late summer. Good luck with the sale, thats a hell of a price for a Z06.

There is a guy here in Huntsville trying to sell his MY 01 Z06 for $21k with miles similar to yours. He isn't having any serious buyers yet either. I am quite suprised at the lack of buyers for a Z06 at that $. Have you put an add on Corvette Forum?
