I just got my latest copy of Corvette magazine. There is a C4 price guide that supposedly shows the latest prices for our beloved C4s.
I noticed that the prices of early C4s are still down some but not as bad as some members of one of those other Corvette forums say they are.
I realize that mileage and condition are big determiners of market prices and regional differences can affect them also.
For my own 1986 Coupe the prices were down about 4 percent.
I pulled the cover off it the other day and realized that it is still a beautiful car with some great features. I am counting the days until I can pull it out of the garage and get it on the road. There is still way too much snow out there now.

The prices in australia for C4's are low also which is riduclues, a lot of car for the buck.

C6 prices out here have dropped dramitically, especially for the Z06's?

Prices seem to vary with the market and time but it sure is nice having one in my garage.

I still stand by my original thoughts, I didn't buy it to re-sell it, I bought it to own and drive. I am actually glad that they are as cheap as they are, while I am sure I paid at the upper end of C-4 values, it is because I got an upper end C-4 and I certainly got my money's worth. I intend to drive it till the wheels fall off and then buy another. Everywhere I go I find people standing around staring at my car, I have found them running their hands over her body lines, and begging me to raise the hood and let them look at the engine. I have to answer questions about her all the time. I have soooo much fun and get soooo much attention, all for the price of a C-4... What a great deal for me......

Agree. All C4's get attention but PG gets more than its share.

Ever since we sold our 69 vette back in 92, we have had the urge to have another one. I liked price being low simply because it enabled us to buy a unique machine without the high cost. The car is in paint shop now to get new coat of black paint and look forward to driving it again. Hopefully, I can correct the drone issue and enjoy the car for years to come.

Noticed the C4 prices at the car auction at Corvette Expo were down, while the C3 prices seem to be on the rise.

I own 3 C4s and wouldn't give them up. My buds are moving up to C5s and C6s because of the lowering prices, but not me.

PS - Love my PG. I also have a black and red C4, but PG is the best.

I have no intentions of selling my 86 vert. I bought it to be a cruiser and cruise it will. If people want to buy them as an investment, so be it but I bought mine to drive and who knows - I might be buried in it Wink

On a long enough timeline, the value of anything reverts to zero.

"Value" is relevant to many things, depending on who is doing the "valuation". In Venezuela, people would pay more for a roll of toilet paper than they would for a C4. Everyone needs TP, no one "needs" a C4, and when there is no TP available for purchase at any price.... well the C4 isn't worth much to people that need to wipe their butt.

I bought mine at the Carlisle show last summer. after almost $2000.00 in repairs I fell that it is the best hobby car for my money. I love to drive it my wife likes it and rides with me often, she never much cared about my other projects. It gets lots of attention even though the paint is a little funny when you get close. I drive it whenever there is no snow or rain, and is dirty more than it is clean. Great performance for the money and effort. It has put the spark back in my 60 year old life. I have lost money on cars, but I hope that I will get my money back when I want another toy. PS I live just out side gate 3 of the Carlisle fair ground. Big yard if we would like to gather or visit

Overall, I prefer Red on a Corvette. That is the color of my 79 C3 and I get cops and little old ladies (some not that old) waving at me as I roll down the road - It is a head turner.

Having said that - my 86 is satin black - and really looks sharp at the track. I don't drive it on the street so ....

My 93 is white and that is a color that has grown on me - it really shows the lines of the car so much better than darker colors.

All of them are priceless to me. None of them are valuable in terms of money - any of the three could be had for the price of a new grocery getter. I didn't buy them as an investment other than to keep me smiling and because I always wanted one.

I have three kids...all adults now...so I don't have to worry about selling them. They can each have one.
