1996 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe

• Silver coupe with Collector Edition badges on the nose and embroidered into the seat headrests.
• The paint looks clean and even in the studio photos, and the five-spoke alloy wheels show red brake calipers behind them.
• Black leather seats show creasing and wear, heaviest on the driver's side bolster.
• The centre console and cupholder area look dusty and used, and the rear cargo carpet is plain with an owner's packet lying in it.
• The digital dash is lit in the photos, but no photo gives a legible odometer reading to check against the recorded mileage.
• No engine-bay photos in the set, so the engine can't be judged at all.
• No underside photos in the set, so the underbody can't be judged either.

Money: $13,990 buys a presentable Collector Edition C4 with a worn driver's seat to budget for — the engine bay is never shown, and at this price that unjudged engine is the main risk.
