Default Need some help..

So I was at my local Corvette dealer (Cn-V Corvette's) and they have a drop deal gorgeous 04 Commerative Convertible. HUD, Cold air intake, everything. Custom wheels, 18 in the front 20 in the back. Like 14k miles, their asking 36k.

I'm not sure if i'd even get it, but is the price good? It seems a little much but it's GORGEOUS.

Chris

Seems a bit high to me. However, what's the value according to KBB or NADA. The value from these "books" should be, IMHO, a guide and not the Bible!

I also think that is on the high side, Strange having 18 and 20 inch wheels on it.

Does seem a bit high. that KBB or even edmunds.com can be a good source for pricing.

It seem about 3 or 4k high to me. Is there a GM warranty that comes with it?

<----------------- You have good taste in cars!

It is a little high, but it is a dealer. The 18 and 20's are a strange combo?
Try 33 with a warranty.

www.cnv-corvettes.com, Click on C5, scroll all the way down, it's the third to last car.

It is pretty, but I think the price is too high also.

CnV Corvettes has a rotten reputation, and they are always way overpriced on their cars. It's not $36K, it's $37K, which is about $5K too much. I went in there once a long time ago, and they were such a$$holes, I turned around and walked out, vowing to never return. And you know what - I never have. Good luck!

I have to be honest, I don't like the color combo.

The 2004 Corvette Millennium Yellow Z-06 for sale looks hot!
