Default Used C6's prices !!

Well, I've been in the market for a while now, in search for a nice little C6 Corvette
I've noticed that the prices of C6's started to drop little by little now and many good deals started to pop up, and this is just a few months before the C7 hits the roads.
For example, I found around four 2008 C6's with ~40k miles/clean title going for 27500$ and Many low miles 06's with only ~10-25k miles going for 24,500 to 26,000 $ (The one priced at 24.5$ with 21k miles needs tires replacment and thats it).

Can't wait to join the C6 community

Lots of great deals out there but don't wait too long as you don't want to miss "driving season" bc you wanted to save a grand :-)

Be cautious on these "great deals". Many times there are reasons why they are priced so low. Anything from scams to mechanical issues to salvaged/flood cars. If it's too good to be true many times it is

Also you must look at how the car is equipped. You can't compare a 1LT car to a 3LT car. Big difference in price.

Good advice from both of the above. I know that used C6 inventory and pricing can vary some across the country. However, around here used C6s are in short supply and the nice ones are bringing premium prices right now.

The hunt was fun though. I learned a lot!

The hunt is half the fun. Signing the check and driving off is the other half.

Realizing how much you wrote the check for an hour later steals back a bit of the fun, then you downshift and press the accelerator pedal and it doesn't seem to matter any more.

Tires is a big expense for a Corvette. A lot of other repairs are actually cheaper.

Check the history of any car these days. Flood cars have a tendency to travel a long way.

Congrats by the way!
