Default Stopped at Corvette World!

Looked at a 2012 GS Cyber gray with 12K miles on it! Asking $41k for it. Never got a chance to talk to salesman about bottom $$. May take the 08 by tmw

They won't budge on the price even if you pay cash. They have nice cars, but in my opinion are overpriced. I'd look elsewhere.

MacMulkin in Nashua NH is the same, great shape the cars are for used but way overpriced. When I shopped my 2009 that I got for 29,500 with only 9800 miles on it they had a 2002 with 22,000 on the ODO for $27,500 ....way too high

good luck on negotiating, doubt they will budge. Great company they stand behind their cars. an old tech did the inspection on my car before he left the company and a lot of "I dont give a f#cks" happened. and I found a bent radiator, ac condenser and oil cooler. they took care of it at no cost to me. At first I was very disappointed and mad, but I took it back and they took care of it. I will buy from them in the future again, good peeps and fairly priced for the caliber of cars they have, imo.

You will never get the best deal at Corvette World because they specialize in excellent condition, very low mileage cars and charge well over NADA book accordingly.

Their target market are impulse buyers and individuals with disposable income that have no desire to negotiate/shop.

On the up side I have purchased performance parts and accessories there because in most cases they will price match internet prices.

All dealers worth anything will do what they did for you. They know the deficiencies of a vehicle they sell, but hope you won't notice or care. If you do care, they will make it right. If you don't care or notice, they save the cash they didn't have to put into the vehicle.

I feel even better on the deal I made on my 2012 GS 3LT M6 with 7,000 miles, that I bought in Aug 2015 for $42,500. They were going for $48k-$50k during that time. Mine still smelled new inside, and didn't have a scratch, smudge, or blemish on it.

I think I paid what the car was worth, not what the owner wanted for it. I waited until I found a motivated seller before buying mine. He tried getting $48k for it, just like everyone else was trying to do for the same vehicle, but after four months he had to price it to sell.

No way would I pay $41k for a 2012 GS today. Not sure what I would pay, but it would be far less then that.

I see some of MacMulkin's ads and they seem to ask crazy high prices for their pre-owned Corvettes.

If they don't budge much on price, a lot will depend on what they will give you for your trade in. Good luck.

Yes, what you have to pay based on the difference between the two cars' values is the real key. Good luck.

Don't forget that in most--if not all--states with sales taxes, when you trade a car you only have to pay tax on the DIFFERENCE between the purchase price of the car you're buying and the trade-in value given for your old car, so the usually lower trade-in value on your car isn't quite as big a hit.
