Default Is this a Good Buy!? Need help..

2007 C6 Corvette. A/C ice cold, All scheduled maintenance, Always garaged, Excellent condition, Factory GPS system, Looks & drives great, Must see, No accidents, Non-smoker, Very clean interior, Well maintained This car has Z51 performance package with the red calipers & 3LT This car is in showroom condition see for yourself, I hate saying bye but I need to sell it unfortunately! The car is in excellent condition it feels and drives like new it has always been babied & garaged! Only 30,750Miles on the car!! CLEAN title. Black on black, everything is original on the car! The car is completely stock with the exception of the powder coated wheels from the dealer! I am asking for 29,000 OBO I am open to offers. The price is negotiable.


I've been in contact with him and he told me he's willing to take 27,500. What do you Guys think?

Seems pretty good, but the other non-stock part are those red calipers IIRC. As to all sched maintenance, that would include radiator fluid change. I'd look at tires, too, very expensive to replace---esp. check the inside edges of all tires. I'd ask where this work was done. I'd look up the dealer's (any service dept. will get this for you, free) records via GM's IVH (investigate vehicle history) to see if there's any recall work done, any comments on items put on/taken off, etc. Also, how far is San Jose from Rio Vista? Rio Vista is where "RichieRichZ06" and Abel Chev are. That'd be a good place to have it up on a lift and checked out by a competent Vette tech.

If everything checks out as good as advertised then it seems like a good deal.

I thought so to. I see dealers pricing 07 with under 35K miles for 31K-33K.

Talk to SoCal Corvette clubs; ask them where is a good place to have a C6 checked out. They'll know.

I can tell but it wont mean much. I paid $44K Canadian 3 years ago with 6k miles on the clock. Vette prices used to be quite a bit higher up here, but have recently gotten more in line with US pricing but still run probably 5 - 10% higher. I could probably sell mine for $35k with brand new Michelin PSS's, recent OEM pads and rotors, and a spotless 2 owner history. Who knows until you try, but I wouldn't let mine go for less.

Thats true! i think my offer of 27,500 is fair and is a strong offer. Corvettes aren't the easiest sellers. They are beautiful cars. But its hard to come up with that kind of money for a used car. It could be an every day car but most people don't use them as everyday cars. When i buy this car it will simply be used for weekends ONLY haha

I just don't have the heart to put mine in the heavy traffic everyday. I use mine like you describe for weekends mostly and during the week sometimes. GL with the car if you decide to buy it and it sounds nice to me.

Here's an outfit in the South Bay area of LA (about 20 min. south of LAX) that would be a good choice. A great crew...

That's a fair price. Have it checked out and pull the trigger if it's what you want.

If it's been taken care of the way he say, it's a great price.
