What is a reasonable price for this high mileage vette
2008 3LT Black exterior Red interior
Daily Driven 140,000 miles 2 owners (bought with 45k)
Mostly highway miles
No accidents clean title
All maintenance/oil changes done on time
Ranger clutch method done every couple hundred miles - original clutch replaced with ls7 at 100k
Only hand washed and detailed every couple weeks. Paint is in fantastic condition for mileage.
No front plate drill holes
Car runs like new
mods:
Full OEM grand sport conversion including yellow z06 brakes ,OEM black grand sport rims, and black centennial grand sport badges
Optioned with f55 but shocks leaked so has LG GT2 coilovers on now.
All f55 wiring left intact so if you install mag ride shocks on you can hook them back up and go.
Kooks long tube headers + tune + straight pipes with NPP. Silent when flaps closed.
Pioneer app radio 4 w/subwoofer stealth box and aftermarket stereo/backup camera
2012 leather steering wheel
mgw shifter
black ghosted oracle led side markers
m2w controller
30% tint sides 15% on hatch
tick clutch adjustable master cylinder
Transparent removable top
recent maintenance work:
replaced fuel tank and pump (2008 common leaking fuel issue)
replaced starter
replaced thermostat, water pump, cleaned/flushed radiator
e brake cable replaced
drl bulbs replaced
New set of nitto invo's 345/285
Flushed clutch
Flushed differential
Flushed brakes
I was never really planning on selling this and it has been extremely reliable but I am looking at getting a DD with 4 doors. What do high mileage vettes like this usually go for? I just want to make sure it would be worth selling.

Right now in my area (western Michigan) a 2008 coupe with mileage of 50,000 would be about $29,000.
With 140,000 miles I would say you are closer to $20,000
All of the mods are kind of a toss up, if you can find someone who likes the mods you might get a few extra thousand, for other buyers the mods may detract from the value.

Above sounds about right.
Was your water pump leaking or did it have other problems? I ask as mine is starting to run a little hotter on the freeway and I have 155,000 miles.

There wasn't actually any problems with the water pump when I replaced it. I was having issues with the radiator fan controller wiring and hoses starting to crumble and had the entire cooling system cleaned up and thermostat/water pump replaced while I was unable to drive it anyway. I got a good deal on the new parts and figured with 130k that they would end up needing to replaced sooner or later.
