Seems a bit on the high side to me. 31-33 sounds better. I love the LeMans Blue, but then I'm biased!

Sounds a little high to me which is where dealers typically start. I purchased an 04 silver vert with 24K miles last November for $32K and it's in great shape.

No deal.

The '04 Verts ended up selling new for ~$38k, fully loaded (LMB CE's).

Today you can get a new C6 LS3, '08 (coupe, 2LT) for ~$39k.

If a Vert is needed, a new '07 LT2 can be had for ~15k off MSRP (fully loaded 3LT ~45K).

If you got the cash and you really want it do it, I wouldn't though, with that kinda price I'd get a C6 plus that price seems kinda high

IMO, way too high on the price. Offer them around $30K and if they say no, just keep looking.

The Kelley Blue Book retail value is $37,115. The Private Party value is $33,580 for Excellent condition or $31,835 for Good condition. Trade In value is $30,150 for Excellent and $28,610 for Good.

Their price sounds a bit high but not by much.

I have an excellent 04 CE vert with every option, GMPP warranty, heated seats, GHL, and some other minor mods you can have at that retail price.

Dude... nothing sells for KBB retail. Real world is KBB wholesale/trade in value.

Try selling some used cars and wholesale is where you'll end up unless your lucky enough to come across the uninformed.
