Found a 2008 - Good Buy?
Found a one owner, 2008 convertible C6, with the 3LT and under 35k miles. No accidents, all stock, garage kept, clean car.
Looks like I can get it for $24k. Good price?

There is a shortage of very nice C6 Vettes now, and since it has 3LT, convertible, and low miles, it might be priced right. It won't cost you anything to suggest $22K as a price, you can always come up to $24K. If it is really nice, and a great color, like JetStream Blue, Atomic Orange, or Crystal Red, it is certainly worth the $24k.

Yes $24k is a good price if the car has been well cared for.

That's extremely low in today's market. I highly suggest moving on it ASAP, because someone else will.
Do your due diligence on having it checked out, but realize that steals like this will disappear under your nose. Most cars like that are closer to $27-28,000 right now.

A year ago it would have been an okay price, now it’s a really good deal. Bonus points if it’a a manual and z51 car.

I suggest getting the vin number and paying for a carfax report. Peace of mind. Good luck.

It's an older retired owner who doesn't drive it much. All oil and maintenance was done at GM dealership. So I am confident the car was not abused.
It's white with a tan interior. Garage kept and really clean. Going to check it out over the weekend, hopefully. The low mileage is really a plus.

Very nice. I would immediately go and see it. PS: If it was ever in the Rain, you can offer 2k less. 😎

Looks good, ask for service paper work, all Corvette owners keep records......

I'm w/ others, this sounds like a solid deal for a beautiful ONE owner C6.
GMVIS will provide a picture of this one's health and it weren't enough, Carfax would finish w/ any other details.
Everyone here knows what's happened w/ pre-owned Corvette pricing due to a couple issues, the old timer apparently doesn't.
For example driving by a local Chevy store Wed observed a '14 LRG/MN7 C7 front & center on their lot.
Looked it up on Internet, 28K, asking $34,995...I LOL.
Later a member local to me replied to a thread I posted this on, informed me price was NOW $45,995.
For a 7 y/o C7 w/ 28K?
Apparently it's true, preowned Corvette market has gone nuts.
Take checkbook, buy it.
