I like my car, but I'd sure as heck sell it if I could get that kind of money. Have a feeling he's going to have that car for quite a while at that asking price.

Not sure where you guys are looking but my link to it says $67k not $57k or $56k. Must be because it's Monday now and we all know prices go up at the beginning of the week...

Btw, with the higher Can$ it works out to ONLY $66,544.40Can for me.

What a deal - I mean ... what a moron!

I knew a guy who (every spring) put his house up for sale at a ridiculous price. He was in no hurry to sell. He left it on the market till fall. I think it took a few years before he sold it at what he was asking. Many people don't know the correct price for things....they have the bucks and when they see something they like, they just buy it. If this Corvette owner finds the right uninformed buyer, he just might sell it at his price.
