Price check
So, I have a C7 I'm looking into buying. It's a 2014 3LT M7 (NON Z51) but does have NAV. 10,200 miles, one owner. Mods include adjustable Z06 spoiler and custom wheels. Otherwise, it's stock.
The only issue is the car is in Washington, and I'm in Tennessee. They are asking $49,900 for the car, but the guy I talked to said they would come down to $47,000. I don't want to pay for shipping either, so I'm going to ask if he can include shipping the car to my house for $47,000, maybe even get him to come down to $46/46.5. Is that a good pricefor this car including if they will pay to ship it? Is the Z51 really package worth waiting to find another car for? I do plan modding it with a minimum of headers + exhaust and CAI.
Pics below. Thanks

Any other options like mag ride? As for Z51, I think if you're not going to track the car it's not a requirement.
$47K shipped seems close to right to me. Personally though, I'd rather fly out there to pick it up and drive it home. That is some beautiful country and it would be the drive of a lifetime in an awesome car.

I don't plan on tracking the car as in road course racing but I do plan on doing quite a bit of 1/4 mile racing. From Washington to here is 2,300 miles. As much as I'd love to see the nice country driving it, I can't justify putting an extra 2,300 miles on it that quick + the cost of flying and gas and strippers on the way back.

I did see that... Beautiful car, and ironically I will be travelling through Orlando in November, so it would work out perfectly. However, your is only a 1LT (I want HUD + the other 2LT features) and yours has another 10,000 miles than the one I'm looking into. I also KBB'd your car and even at excellent condition, it came up right at $44k. Unfortunately, the mods you've done to the car don't really add to the value of it. GLWS though. If you come down on the price let me know and we might be able to strike a deal, but I really, really want a 2LT at a minimum.

I have no problem selling it for 43,900.00 stock no upgrades will be included
i will include the z06 grill and brake ducts also at that price,
there really isn't much in a 2lt you will miss from a base model, they come fully loaded even in base models,

So I just got off the phone with the dealer and they're willing to do $46,500 shipped to my door. I think that's a great deal for this car. Any one else?
Like I said, I really want the HUD and I would be missing that in a 1lt. Plus your car has an extra 10,000 miles on it.

I think it's worth about 43,500-44K, add in $900 shipping, they are high. 2LT non z51 2016s are selling for high 48-50K now... why get a car that's basically out of bumper to bumper warranty. There are many electronics on the C7.

It's actually a 3LT not a 2LT. I haven't been able to find a similar car with similar miles for the same price anywhere. Everything I've seen that's a 3LT has been over $47,000 and usually over 10,000 miles.

Price seems about right to me, and I've been looking. I'd be hesitant to buy without checking it out in person, but that's me, some people are comfortable with it.

The OP could post in Pacific Northwest or in C7 General to see if a local CF member will check out the car for you.

That would be a great reason to go! The corvette would be a bonus
Car is worth 42K plus tax and shipping. 47k would work out if it includes taxes and shipping to your door.
However, i don't recommend buying it un seen. No, I don't think the Z51 package is worth waiting if you like this one or are able to get it at the right price.
