I think that's a fair price. Seems like the clean low mileage convertibles have leveled off price wise, and $33K seems about right.

I suggest that if you can get the VIN - send a PM to Sponge Vette and ask him to run service and origination history through GM VIS. The more you can learn about the car before you make a purchase decision, the happier you'll be with your decision.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the tip. I do have the VIN.

The car is very clean...a couple little things, but nothing that wouldn't be expected for a car that has been driven.

Ruz,
I just bought my 04 for about the same price with 32k on it. A co-worker bought a 02 with 44k for about $28k. Both are Black on Black coupe. All comes down to How bad do you want it, after all it's only money

Dealer probably paid 28K-30K depending on condition. Go lower. Try for 31,500

Read the freekin thread!!!!!!It's a Vert not a coupe which makes it worth 4 to 5 grand more....

Sounds like a fair deal to me. I just paid $27.5k for a Calif. '02 A4 3.15 vert with 55k on it. But it also included lots of time and miles left on an extended GMPP zero deduct warranty. It seemed like a pretty decent deal to me at the time.

Yeah. Go for it.

I got my '01 Vert for 29 grand with tax tag and title, though. Had 26K on the odometer and absolutely no mods. I did walk into teh stealership with the attitude, "I got da money. You make me want to spend it on THIS car." Guess they really wanted it gone, eh.
