Curious.....Looking at a 2000 Black FRC, 7200 miles, bone stock/original, 2 owner (2nd owner purchased @2k miles), clean CARFAX, clean GM Claim History, no paint/body work, no warranty. Although the inspections are not complete, it appears to be cherry. Asking price $27,600.
KBB=
Trade-In=$18,850
Private Party=$22,355
Retail=$26,010
Although I've always believed that KBB (and all the other pricing guides), are just that, pricing guides, spending $1600 big ones over retail causes me to pause. Maybe market conditions justify the extra.
Needless to say, I am not a Corvette price expert. I'd like to approach the owner with a fair offer that is not insulting.....
Could any of you "veterans" give me some price direction? I'd really appreciate the help.

Seems a tad high, but it does have low mileage. Perhaps offer $1-2K less and see if he bites.
