New Years bump for a beautiful car!

IdleUp

Thanks for the reply & Bump - she is Pretty - any interest please PM me.

Happy New Year!

Mr. Wonderful

Sadly (for you) GM made so many of them that there is strong competition and driving prices down. I think you'd be lucky to get in the $40s, but hope you do better - It's a beauty.

I have a standing offer of $52K from my local selling dealer he has a buyer who was ready to buy a new C7 and he will save $15-20K I also have two offers of 44k and 46K from this board.

This is not the plane Jane Black & white C7 if it were then $40's might be acceptable - this car has $16,000 of accessories and its "Dead Mint" an educated buyer will recognize that and the fact he can save $20,000 and have the same car. In addition - there is no way this car with 3000 miles is going to going to depreciate $30,000!

Thanks for the reply!

Mike, according to Forum rules, you MUST list an asking price for your car. You have 24 hours to do so or this thread will be closed.

When does the factory 3 year bumper to bumper warranty run out?

IdleUp

Jay,

Thanks for your original post - not exactly sure what happened - one of the "Regulars" was offended when I turned down his $40K offer and it went south from there to a point they were going to take the ad down. I find it puzzling why an owner can't list his car and just get offers, many owners don't know what the value is until its exposed to the market.

Anyhow, At $40K it would be a $35,000 hit on a car that is in mint condition. I'll just leave her in the garage. This car has all the options but the big engine and the reason I choose only the ZF1 package, because the "Z" Vette had the ride of a dump truck.

I was trying to explain that the Blue book values do not include many of my options which I listed. It shows $45,650 value without these options so $40K in not acceptable. The car's target buyer will be someone looking for a nice C7 and can save $20-25,000.

The car has everything right and my wife never ran the car over 1/4 throttle, the AC is always kept on recirculate, never had the windows down or top off or ever driven in the rain - the car is "Dead Mint" in every respect and someone will appreciate its history and pay a fair amount.

Here's the options not listed:

ZF1 Appearance pkg $1995
Performance Video System $1795
Multi Mode Exhaust $1195
Carbon Dash $995
Custom Caliper Color $595
Under Hood Liner $280
Logo Door Sill plates $275
Chrome 20" / 19" Wheels $1995

Total Option not in Kelly Value $9,125

When does the bumper to bumper and power train warranty expire?

IdleUp

Thanks for the reply - I've had the car a over a year so I would say there is 18-20 months left.

I would take the dealer for 52K and thank him. The bumper to bumper is what is costing you to not get more. 46k from a private is not bad either but one in the hand is better

IdleUp

If the Blue book shows the car at $45,650 and does not offer the option to add $10,000 of options - and my car is Dead Mint condition it has to bring good money.

I presently have two buyers who were in process of buying 16's equipped like mine who's offer was in the 50's who would save $12K for the same exact car even with the current discounts who ready to buy - the problem is they were trading and I'm not interested in a trade.

Like I said the car and its condition are unique - I'm getting calls every day from numerous sources somebody is going to take her home!

IdleUp

Thanks for "Few" good reply's guys - I appreciate them and yes I can weed my way through all the negative reply's I've experienced here.

I'm maybe a day away from selling my car. The guy who was buying my car from my local dealer who was offering me $52K just contacted me direct. He was paying the dealer $55K for my car. I offered it to him direct for $53,500 and he's going to his credit union. This same guy was ordering a new 2016 from the same dealer and saved around $12-13K by buying my car - that's a lot of money and my car is better equiped.

I also have two other standing offers for $50K and 51K. Plus two other guys who are waiting to sell their cars interested in buying my Vette.

Well looks like all the "So Called" $40K value experts were dead wrong and need to "Study Up" further when it comes to Corvette Values. Like I always said, my car is not a "Plane Jane" Vette, she is special both in its looks, colors and equipment and does not remotely fit in with all the thousands "C7 Beaters" on the market.

The Kelly Blue book value "Without" the $10,000 of extras was $45,650 when you add the options the car is easily valued at $52-55,000 which is what I asked and I'll soon have. I paid OTD $75K for this car - no one was going to tell me this car depreciated $35,000 with only 2900 miles in pristine condition!

For all the "keyboard Jockey's" who have been beating me up since I posted this car and think they know corvette values - you really don't know Jack -

My best advise to them is to "Study Up" and keep looking for a sucker!

Best Regards - Mike

wow...never seen so many quotes (" " ) in a post...quite an immature response honestly

IdleUp

Quotes are used to bring attention to thoughts to that one-side users with immature agendas will hopefully remember!

Gee doesn't look like your looking for a car - seems as if your sole motorization is none other than to create more problems on this thread like the others . . . .

Snowwolfe

Tough crowd here. Part of what you need to put up with if you list a car for sale here. Been through it myself. If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen. After all the listing is free and gets national exposure.

IdleUp

Thanks for your reply - My apologizes to the user group and administrators for this thread going south - it was no fault of my own.

I just don't get the meanness and terrible manner in which some (Not All) choose to beat up on good people who find themselves in a situation where they have to sell their car! One loser even reported the thread in hopes of having it shut down, how bad is that?

Most of the negative responses were started from a few who was trying to steal my new car for $40K. Looks like these "Corvette Genius" (there are the quotes again) have a problem understanding that if a owner pays $75,000 for a special Vet and puts no miles on it and keeps it in mint condition the fact the car will indeed bring good money.

These are instigators which I call "Keyboard Jockeys" are guys who really hate life (and their present car) and only feel good trying to up-set the forums community.

I bought the car for my wife however it didn't work out - I'm fortunate to happen to own another sports car or I would just keep it for my self. The C7 is an amazing car and is only 1/3 the price of my I8.

Best Regards!
