"In the wrapper?" Geez, how many more dealer cliches can you throw around? 
edit: I see you're asking 38k for it. Not gonna happen when the C6's can be had for less.

I've not seen any C6's loaded with 2900 miles for less than his price but I agree high 30's isn't realistic in most cases. You might find an exceptional case here and there, but the value is probably $30-$32K.

Last year, June 27, a heads-up TR 03 Z06, orig owner w/13K miles went for $30K after a no-sale @ 34.5 in the autotrader. At that time it was still under warranty.
That was a year ago.

Yea it was and I kicked myself in the azz ever since for not standing by. It was 40 miles local but it was hot that day. The wife is ALWAYS early & we got to Crestview FL 2 hrs early. Spent time in town and went to the house. No one there. Called them on Cell and they advised one hour late. I got hotter on top of hot & said bye, Z yeah!
Should have, could have!
I wrote abt that experience in detail back then.
Anyhow, that set the bar for me on value. Went and bought that VY in the Avatar. Sold it recently. After the hurricane season is done, I'll be ISO of a C5 to complete my C collection. Hopefully a nice 03-04 TR Z06 will come along locally. What are the odds?
Vetteless for now.
