I have 08 with all options you listed with 50K, 2 owner car garage kept and not a DD

Only thing mine has different is 2 tone interior (factory) with C6 emblem in headrest

I was "kicking tires" (still am) with local dealer that has a 2013 427 in same color . We did not get down to hard numbers, will this week, but via phone/email told me around 27K on trade value for mine

I used to be the same way about mileage. Then I lost my sister to cancer in July, about three weeks before what was to be her 40th birthday. Now I drive it like I stole it every day it isn't raining. Life is too short to save the car for someone else.

$27,250 ~ $29,5.

Here is how I came up with that.
My car was a fair deal (2008 3lt /w 36k miles (I think)) that I paid 29k in april of 2015

car has the z51 +1000
car has nav +500
car has roughly 10k less miles +1000
car has dual roof +1000

car is for sale in end of September -7%
sale taking place 1 year later -10%

$29,000 + $3500 = $32,500 (April 2008 price) - 10% (depreciation this year) & 7% for late september = $27,250 ~ $29,500

It is a private sale in the south. Red one!

So your $30k car was likely worth $30k every year even as you put miles and years on it because the toy market kept appreciating.

Look at the porsche / classic car market over the last 3 years, some cars have seen 10~20% annual price increases. A porsche 911SC was a 12k car in early 2000, a 15k~ 18k car in 2012, and now can easily sell for over 30k. The tide rises all ships. (IE, i can't wait until the pcar bubble pops and I can pick up one for a wife approved price in the future)
I hear what you are saying about economy. I could wait until a decline, and that is how I have done most of my buying over the years, but I will be 60 later this year, wow wish I had not typed that as it looks so old, and I think if I am going to get one it is about time.

I see you are in NashVegas! I was there last week taking my Dad to Vanderbilt for a checkup. They live in Woodbury, about 50 miles east of Nashville. If you are ever in Cannon County try to check out Hwy 53N between Woodbury and Liberty. Short and not worth a trip by itself, but a great road if you are in the area.

I appreciate all the input and I am going to take a look at the car today provided it doesn't rain. I took a look at a 2012 GS at a dealership yesterday that I liked a lot, too. They are asking 40,000 for it. I may make a 35K offer on it. It is Orange! GO VOLS!
