another thing to think of. The dealership makes money off of financing. So when you make them a "cash" offer, that in reality takes even more profit off of their plate.
But if you do plan on making a reasonable offer, tomorrow is the day to do it. All the sales guys want to hit that extra unit for the month and tomorrow is the last day.

I don't know where the OP lives, whether the car's a coupe or vert, and what options it might have other than 3LT, but a quick check of KBB for my area suggests the dealer's price is several thousand more than it should be. If they think they can get near their price, good for them, but there's nothing wrong with offering a price that's in line with what one is willing to spend on the car.

KBB isn't reality though. KBB tries to follow reality with formulas, but when you take one variable way out of whack (like the mileage), it throws off their formulas.
KBB is notoriously inaccurate for Corvette pricing anyways.

Well i took it for another test drive today and i really got on it really hard to see if any weird symptoms would arise.. the car drove fine and i heard no out of normal sounds.. tranny seems to shift fine.. only think i notice is that when you first jump on it... it seems like the torque converter might be getting weak.. the initial oomph is not as strong as other auto cars i have driven.. buts it shifted fine and didnt hesitate or whatnot...
I left them a cash off of 12k on the car tonight, they said they couldnt accept it so i left... hopely they will reconsider and call me back later. they printed out a sales history for corvettes with 150k miles, apparently in the last 30 days over 25 of them with similar miles sold for 16k they showed me on paper... so we will see

But I did get a good deal
If it's the car you like and you're satisfied with it...it'll make you happy...buy it

Well, did you pull the trigger?
You do realize you should be able to find a C-5 with under 50,000 miles (even a ZO6 maybe)in the price range you're looking for...
Another idea is find a wholesaler or someone with a small used car lot and ask if he'll take you to the aution for a set fee so you can buy a Vette there...

Thanks everyone for the advice, I had not heard from them all week so I dropped by today to see if they forgot and the car was no longer on the lot, I asked one of the sales guys and they said it went to the auction yesterday.... so I guess they felt it was worth more at auction then..

When you limit your choice to a single color - that itself was less than 10% of the total production - you have to accept getting a less than perfect car.
So unless you are decide to become flexible on color & if the other options in this car fit your bill - buy this one.

My top choices were AO, DSOM, LMB, MR and maybe yellow. I wanted to stay away from silver, black, white and red. I ended up with a VR because it had every other option I wanted with low miles and a good price. Now I am really happy I went with the VR. The color has really grown on me.
