Not too bad for a 90 with only 28k miles. I would want a carfax and a lot of pictures. Also KBB only goes back to 1993 and a base coupe for that year was 14,734 in excelent condition.

See if it has the Z51 package. That is upgraded suspension, shocks, heavy duty diff if a manual trans. I just recently sold my 1987 Vette. Some parts were hard to find but there are tons of aftermarket stuff.

Here is a 1990 on ebay with only 18k miles for only 13,900 buy it now price.

Thanks `Joe for your post/input...

I just thought it was a clean Vette & I know from other Vette owner's that Hedricks really checks his Vett's out b-4 he puts them `up 4 Sale..

You can't get much of a sports car like a clean `Vette 4 under $15K & I'm sure the above one would go for way less...

It's just great to know there's rides out there like that all over our country..(I'm happy `bout that 4-Sure)...It will be interesting to see what other member think & post about it...

Work is call'in ~> Peace/Out from `Space

It's a little much. You can get a clean C5 Corvette (1997-2004) with 30,000-70,000 miles for about the same price, a much better looking car, newer, better build quality, better fuel economy, etc

You can sacrifice a few miles more and get a much newer, more powerful, and capable Corvette, I would go that route if I were going to buy a Vette.

My thoughts exactly. I wouldn't be able to buy a c4 for over $7000 knowing there are c5's for around 15k or less.

True. And in 1990 it wasn't even the LT1 powered C4. I forget what engine they used in 1990, but it didn't make the 300HP that the LT1's were making in 1992.

LS1 is a huge power jump, 345HP in the '97 models.

Unless you were looking to buy this as a rare and classic car, (which they aren't even that old or sought after yet) I'd get something better looking and more powerful, C5.
