I think the price is high. Check KBB, Edmunds, NADA and older threads. For reference, recently bought a 2002 1SC vert with 32,000 miles for $30,000.

IMO, the car is probably $1000-2500 too high, but if you like it and it checks out okay, then go for it.

Here you go.

I was told by the dealer that you can't use NADA or Kellys with a corvette. Is that true??

That's way to high. 24k should be about right...

Of course they would say that ... they are trying to get more for their vehicle than either source would say was reasonable.

To me, that is the sign of a questionable dealer. If they won't deal, I recommend going elsewhere!

Hmmm...

Maybe a little high....but with a warranty and it appears very clean..not unreasonable.
I will pay a little more for a car thats well taken care of.

I would have to agree with the consensus here. They are selling 05's with some miles for 39k

Sounds like a nicely optioned car and the miles are decent, but IMO the price is a bit high. Don't know if you have spoken to them yet, but try to get them down some.

Way too high look on the forum you can find a much better deal and with winter approaching you can get one for under 20000 if you look a littele harder and wait a little longer.

Are you saying a '99 low mile vert can be had for less than $20K?

That sounds a little too good to be true.

It's a little high, but keep in mind that if you spend a few more bucks and put "thin spokes" on it, most people won't know it from an '04!
