You and the seller thought it was a good price or the deal would have failed. Be happy and enjoy the car. Congratulations.

General conclusions so far:
'08's average falling between $35k-37.5k, with roughly 50% in that range, close to 25% below, and 25% above.
'07's average falling between $32.5k-35k range with a little more than 25% above, and a little less than 25% below.
06's average came in almost at $30k on the button, with about 80% falling in between $27.5k to 32.5k, 15% above $32.5k, and 5% 1 (car) under $27.5k.
05's average $27.5- 30k, with 40% in that range, and roughly 30% falling below, and 30% above.
Any poll on price is rough,...options, # of miles, time period bought was up to a year ago, (but hopefully most w/i the last 9 mos)- each used car is unique.
This isn't really for members to 2nd guess how much they paid, since almost all the feedback indicates everyone felt they paid a fair price taken into account options, location, color, etc. I think most of us feel that if we paid a couple of grand more, it was better than waiting another year to find the same car MAYBE a couple of grand cheaper.
This might help new members get a rough idea of whether they're in the ballpark or not.
It also indicates about a $2.5k depreciation per year.
Thanks for everyone's participation. Happy driving.

It was too complex to take into acct options, miles, etc, but it was for coupes. And, results were based on Vettes purchased during the last 9 mos (although a few were wihin a year).
Would assume that the average mileage was probably 10k to 15k based on other posts, so it looks like you got about a $6k discount for an extra 15k miles. Seems to me you got a pretty good deal.

Appreciate all the responses. I'm pretty happy with the car.
Here are a couple of pics. Only a few mods....cold air, painted back top between back hatch and glass top, Mild to Wild
How do I import pics?

I'm hardly an 'imported picture' expert, but I use photobucket.com. it's free for now. Go to upload pictures, and it will automatically bring up your document/pics on the screen. You click on the one you want and photobucket will copy it. Then you copy it from there to this site. It gives you four bars when you cover the picture, and the last one works best for me. Put the cursor over it, and click copy, and the paste once on the site.
