What do you think? 2012 GS 4LT, used??

I am looking at a...

2012 Grand Sport
Inferno Orange/Ebony
4LT
NPP
F55
M6
Nav
Transparent roof (no Orange roof)
+all other bells and whistles...
18,000 miles
Clean Carfax
no service records except what has been done at Chevy dealer..

***asking $51k from a Chevy dealer, looks to be in pretty nice shape..

Too much? Good price? Too many miles?? I have been looking. Specific cars are getting harder to locate. Advice?

I don't think that is a bad price with the options it has. Is it going to come with a warranty?

I think that was an automatic, I looked at one from them. I am set on manual, black interior, F55, and NPP.. There are several out there with light interior, or no F55 or no NPP... I also want 3LT or 4LT...

Not alot of near new C6's in the Northwest compared to the east coast so they ask higher prices, personally I think used asking prices are almost what you'd pay for a spanking brand new one.

The MSRP on a new GS coupe similarly equipped, if it existed, which it does not, would be approx. 70K. So even with a deep discount would be in the high 50s. So is 8-9K less almost the same price? I'd guess that depends upon the buyer's viewpoint.

You will love it.

You will also probably get a lot of attention. There are only 220 Inferno Orange 2012 GS coupes.

Here's mine:

Its in the upper midwest. I missed out on a 2012 BRAND NEW IO, 3LT, loaded. It was on ebay for $57k buy it now, and I would have gotten it for $54k (Loyalty thing), but it sold...it stickered for about $70.5.

This 4LT interior is ebony with slightly darker seating surface, so basically all black. I really like it. I have seen a few Inferno Orange cars with cashmere interior..

No not out the door... you know, the "special internet price"...

The sales guy is supposed to get me more and better photos by Monday. I am a little concerned about "road rash" on the front end, behind the tires, etc being that is a midwest car with 18,000 miles.

We'll see..

Good price if it has new tires. Otherwise, negotiate a little on price or have them put on new tires. Good time to deal because you have the weather on your side.
