Default 03 Yellow on black vert 6spd

Hey guys, I am new to the forum and have been looking for a vette for the past few years. I am finally serious, and have found a 2003 Yellow on Black/Black convert for sale with 11300 kms, 6spd, all the options, and it has been just babied. We were thinking 35k ish, does this sound about right to you guys? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Just follow your heart. Then again, for an '03 w/11K mi, that seems right for $35K something.

Thats a few grand below blue book. So not a bad deal. Especially if it has magnetic ride control. Expensive option.

A little too rich for my blood though. I'd try to find a 2000 model If i had my heart set on a yellow vert. pick it up for probably well over 10k less

Sounds like a fair deal at 35K, but no higher!

Since you refer to kilometers, I assume you are in Canada? Your profile doesn't have any information in it. Are you talking 35K in US or Canadian dollars? Either way, it's a decent deal.

I bought my 03 MY vert at the end of August for $38.5K, which was about $1K under local market at the time. It only had 1558 miles on it and was flawless - just like brand new if not better than when delivered.

Sounds like a decent deal, but would be even better if you can get it down a bit more.

It's probably worth 35 if it's loaded. This time of year though, I'd try for 32.

I paid 36K for my 99 vert with 3,600 miles on it, this past June. So it sounds like a good deal to me.
Good Luck
Bob

I paid $31,900 for my 2000 triple black vert in May. It has the Z51 suspension, 3.15 rear gears, dual climate, dual power sport seats telescoping wheel, Bose with CD, and had a Blackwing intake with Z06 screens. It had 34K on the ODO. It was prime convertible season, so I probably paid a little more. The car is spotless. Most people are amazewd, when I tell them it is 6 years old.

I say that you are looking at a smokin' deal.
