As far as the extended warranty goes, good to have one, but be very careful on who you buy from. Several well known companies have already gone under and those three are ones that at least I have not heard of.
Good luck.

Got to check if it's really "excellent condition", & the "extended warranty" details - what's covered & by which company. Then let's see if he'll come down to $22K & we may have a new (first time) Vette owner on the forum.

Price seems in line for a 'dealer' price out here in California. Only real rip off item is the dealer doc fee? for what? DMV paperwork??
We in California are used to getting hosed by dealers when it comes to new cars (be it Vette or Pinto) but the one thing we haven't bought into here is the outragously high pure rip off dealer fees that you East coast boys accept as 'normal'...a low fee of $189.50..yeah right...what less then 1 hr of paperwork for a clerk making $10-15 per hour. The highest you'll see with a California dealer is $45 to 55 for a doc fee. Hello hello McFly...anyone home--wake up boys!!!!
