Market commentary

Trying to find a good home, this Corvette was sold here in 2008 for $88,000, crossed the block at Mecum Kissimmee last year with a $45,000 high bid, then was reported sold at Mecum's Indy auction in May for a whopping $81,000, leading to this disappointment. The trouble with a low mileage car like this is that much more than on and off the trailer miles soon begin to eat into its most valuable attribute, the sub-1,000 miles on the odometer. The cycles in its auction results indicate that prospective purchasers can't make up their minds how much, if any, premium it deserves. Whatever it is, however, it won't be less than the bare minimum reflected in the price here, a sound value by any standard.
