really, i think your better off moving to the z06.

your gonna be disappointed on the few thousand spent for less than 10% hp increase. You can add a cam way cheaper for the same result.

Maybe s little high, but you know the car and the owner so its probably an ok deal.

Miles are everything. Go for it. It's not that much extra money for years of trouble free driving. Plus the car with low miles will have better resale value.

IMO, if it was a convertible I could see about $28. Otherwise $26.

I have an '07 Z51 3LT convertible but with 60k miles. I think the mileage I have is a $2k penalty for me whereas the 10k miles on the car you are looking at is a $2k add. In other words, IMO, I believe the difference between 10k miles and 60k miles on a 9 year old car is no more than $4k dollars. A little less than $1k per 10k miles.

I also think the convertible vs coupe is about $2 to $2.5k difference. My car is worth no more than $24k so I think the car you are looking at is worth $26. Maybe $26.5k - $27k because it is an '08 vs. my '07.

All the above is my opinion.

I agree, but i really don't want a manual trans.

That's a good deal to me. I bought my 2008 A6 3LT Z51 NPP with 5K miles for $33K in June 2015. My bank said that my vette was $2K below value. Go for it.

Overpriced!! Low 20s to MAYBE 26k tops, I bought a 2010 w/ 2,650 miles last year for 31k

ocboy

what state do you live in? I'd like to know because that's where I'm going to buy my next Vette.

I think an '08 3LT Z61 is worth a solid $5-7K more than an '05-'07 lower model, personally.

To top it off it has 1/4 the mileage and he knows the car's complete history.

rkj427

that price mentioned is almost unreal............ sold my '07 coupe with 8800 miles last June for 28K and it was fair to both me and the buyer..........

Hotrodpayton

He decided he wanted to sale it faster than i feel like i can close a deal on mine and get the rest of the funds up to make the difference. So I'd be terrified of selling mine and it be gone and loose my car.

^ I have a feeling at $30k he'll be keeping it for a while. There is always a way if you're willing.

J, I think that can work for an '08 base with 50K, but not in this case. There are not enough very low-mileage '08's for kbb to draw from. In a case like this, they simply take a value from the general pool, apply an X dollar-per-mile adjustment, and call it okay. That will not reflect true value of such a car, in my opinion.

As others have said, the price is a bit high. If it has everything you have been looking for, and is in great shape, it could be worth it. But, I will guarantee you this...the number of people looking for ANY '08 Vette for $30K is very slim. He will have a hard time selling at that price unless someone else comes along who is looking for exactly such a car.

If it is worth it to you, pay the price. Me...I would justify to him, with research, why $27K or $28K is my top dollar.

Western Pa my friend, what are you looking for, maybe I can help

PAULEB07

You mentioned that your Dad is looking to buy one. Sell him yours and you buy the neighbors!
Done!
FYI…Sometimes, when we are unsure that means we are not ready!

ocboy

Thanks! I will keep you in mind for when it's time to "upgrade". It will sure be a nice drive back to California in a "new to me" Vette.

I paid 29 for a 09 Z51, 3LT, chrome wheels, automatic. Had 7900 miles on it and the only thing that did not make it look new was the tires were used. It was female owned and had been pampered. I thought it was a fair deal, I was not going to pay 30.

449er

Good price for that car, well done

Stavesacre21

The biggest thing he has going for him on that car is that is has an LS3 which gives his car's value a couple grand more than some are suggesting. I think he might be a hair high but not as far off as some let on. He might sit on it until he finds that right person willing to shell out upper 20s for it.
