50th anniversary coupe: how much?
I just drove the car this morning. The Chevy dealer wants 42,900 for it. It is a six speed with 16,000 miles. It drove just fine, although I thought the steering was a bit touchy on center. What is a reasonable price for the car? Excuse my ignorance, but I have never dealt with a dealer before. I know what I want, however, and I am very patient.

New the MSRP was about $51K. Some dealers marked them up as much a $8K so you have a lot of variables.
I's say that's a bit high........but it is low miles........basically...I don't know why I responded !
Good Luck

I usually say that the people on CF value their cars too low, but that price is insane. I paid 2K more than that for my loaded vert BRAND NEW. That car is about 10K too high. I highly suggest you look through the C5s for sale section here.

I don't know much about Vermont and the price of Vettes. In Orlando, that would be high. Rogers Corvettes of Orlando has severl, including some convertables (50th anniversary). They have the following coupe. Don't know if that helps - FYI:

I think it's high. I would not pay more than 39k and would expect the dealer to include a 4 year GM warrentee and four new GY runflats.
BTW, You can buy a NEW 2006 C6 for $39,990 from Kerbeck in Atlantic City, NJ.

I wouldn't pay over $35k for it. Just because it's an anniversary edition doesn't make it worth thousands more. I believe most price guides give that option about $1000-$1500. Other than that it's just another 03 Vette.

I just bought a 2003 coupe non anniversary edition with 10,XXX miles and it blue booked over $37,000.00 and I paid $34,900.00 for it.Before I bought it I did a search and couldn't find another 2003 electron blue mn6 with that low of miles for less,within a 1,000 miles of me so I bought it.The ones I found farther away wasn't much cheaper and nowhere near cheap enough to make it worth traveling that far for it.Could have bought lots of other colors cheaper but I wanted electron blue.I would rather pay more for what I want than less for what I don't want just because it's a good deal.I do think that price sounds alittle high but I would do a search and see if you can find the same car for less and if not check the blue book on it.If it is not over blue book and you can't find a better deal that is worth traveling for and you know this is the car you want then go for it.What really matters is what is it worth to you.Good Luck!

The AE option to a 2003 coupe does add a few dollars, not a lot, but maybe $1-2k
