Im looking at an 05 C6 speed. Its a couple hundred miles away from me but the dealer sent me a ton of pics and it looks pretty good. Im not looking for a show car, so a few small scratches dont bother me. The only thing Im hung up on is that the car has 75K.

Im trying to get in as low as possible to leave money for blower upgrades. They are asking $21900.

What do you guys think? Am I crazy for buying a car with 75K? Obviously if money was no object, I wouldnt be doing this and would look for something with less miles.

If the car was maintained regularly, im sure its fine. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it. Get it, drive it and enjoy the heck out of it!

It's 8 years old. 75k miles is under 10k/year. It's not high mileage or worrisome on any other 2005 car and it's not high mileage or worrisome on a Vette. Depending on options the price is a little on the high side for an '05, but that's always negotiable at a dealer.

Offer 19500! THE WORST THAT CAN HAPPEN IS they say no and counter.I'm sure 75k is fine.Plenty of guys on here well in excess of 100k.

It's a good deal in my opinion. A C6 for less than $25K that has less than 100K miles?

Post pictures when you buy it.

Sounds pretty good to me. I had a 2003 C5 with 114,000 miles that was totaled almost exactly a year ago. The insurance company gave me slightly over $20K for it, so $21,500 for your car is pretty good. Of course, you should dicker over the price a bit but it's a pretty good deal as it stands.

I offered him $20k tonight about half an hour ago. They dont want to budge on the $21900. I told him I would have to sleep on it tonight to consider offering him anymore. Got to have some money left over upgrades!!

I keep checking the C6 for sale section and ebay hoping to find an already modded car that I like for under $30k

Keep looking and in the meantime stick to your guns and check back in a few to see if it is still out there. See what they say then, unless your heart is dictating your wallet. There are many many fish in the sea.

Way too much. Edmunds has the average selling price loaded nav, hud etc. in clean condition at $18.1.

Steve_R

Don't blink first, $20k is a good offer for that car. They should take it after making you sweat a little. You can get a lot of Vette for under $30k if you look around and have a little patience. Getting emotionally attached to a car you're thinking about buying is a gauranteed recipe for paying too much.

Hell, I'll sell ya my '08 for under $30k.

I don't know where Edmonds gets their information but an average sale price of 18k for c6's with 75k miles is not realistic. You can check Auto Trader, E Bay or any other sale site and not find any close to that price. The OP has found a good deal at $21.9.

I think region has a lot to do with it. Cars don't sell for the same price in California as they do in say Texas, or Louisiana. New York prices are different as well.

I haven't seen the car, or know what options it has, how the tires are, or anything but I think 20k would be a good price.

I sold my fully loaded z51 05 w/55k miles for 22,000 a couple months ago. The car your looking at is worth around 20.

AimHigh

Don't get in a hurry, take your time. You may even wait till winter (I know i know you want it now) and prices should really drop.

I just bought my 08 with 65k a few weeks ago. I wouldn't worry about the mileage.

mack99

I passed on this car. Im going to keep looking for a car thats already done with at least headers and blower. There are some out there but Im being picky !

ProfessorDeath

75k on these cars is just broken in. No worries there. Offer $20,000.

AmericanVette

Can you post the dealership?

dvilin

Too many miles for me. I do not care what people say about how realiable the Vette is 75k on the odometer and I am out...

I too, use Edmunds for my low baseline price when negotiating. I don't know how Corvettes are selling, but I can tell you there are some vehicles you absolutely cannot buy at Edmunds pricing.

It never hurts to throw the numbers at the dealer though.
