14.5k is a decent ballpark price for a '98 in good shape w/a few mods. Got rid of mine for around that last year. Clb or column lock bypass is something that should be done. (essentially a module that you install and reprogram of the ecu.) In '99 thru '03 there was an computer change that set it apart from the first 2 years, that gave greater tuning capabilities. (04 supposedly was a standalone year). Car seems decent though. I have seen c5's for 10-12k, but weathered more than this one appears thru the pics.

As w/anything, great deals can be had on specific forums...ie corvetteforums.com I've seen s/c versions go for a little bit more and the choice of cars are greater (even more so if you are into traveling).
