What Did You Pay For Your Vette?
It seems like every few days there's a new thread asking for advice on pricing on a car someone is looking at. Without fail there are always posts with low ball numbers. My question is what did you pay for your Vette?
List specifics like number of owners, accessories that came with it, mileage, option package, when/where (state no specific dealers) you purchased it and any other info you want to post. Also do YOU feel you got a good deal. That's all that really matters in the end anyway.
Maybe a post like this will help others figure out what they should end up paying for their Vette.
So here's mine:
Paid 33K for an 07 Lemans Blue coupe, M6, Z51, 3LT, 22K miles, two tone seats (titanium and ebony) with both tops. Was a one owner and I purchased it at the end of April this year in Indiana.
Car had Corsa Sport exhaust, bra, mirror covers, mirror seals (for washing the car), Corvette duffel bag full of books on Corvettes, all the records for oil changes etc, top hanger for garage wall, bag for extra top, towels for seats, front window shade, mesh grill and side vents, and a couple of signs for the garage.
I feel like I got a fair deal. Could I have found something for a few K less? Sure. If you're open to options and color you can always find a better "deal". What made me ok with paying a little more than I wanted was the way this car was taken care of. You could tell the previous owner was a car guy and took great care of the car. Plus I really wanted a LMB with gray interior which wasn't easy to find. The two tone was icing on the cake.

$26,500 for 06 vilocity yellow z51 3lt manual. Car came with dual roofs and 43,000 miles young. It was a two owner car that I bought in Missouri. This was bought back in March 2011.
It was 100% stock except for a Borla axel back exhaust system.
I've had zero problems and there is 49,000 on the clock now. 100% happy with my purchase.

That seems like a really good deal.
Good for you.
