Welcome to the forum, It is a must to post pictures of said Vette.
As far as price, As long as you are happy is all that matters.
This is a great forum and most of the members are top notch and will answer any questions you might have.

Price is on the strong side for sure, but you bought from a dealer, you can't expect a "deal"....they're in business to make money. I buy cash, which means I don't even look at dealer cars. I like knowing the history, speaking with the owner, etc...it allows me to get a feel for how the car was treated, driven and maintained. I never understood cash buyers going to dealerships unless it's a brand new car, but...to each his own I suppose.
In the end, if the car is clean and you're happy with it, that's all that matters I suppose. Good luck with it....they're great cars.

Yeah its funny that you mentioned the dealer vs private thing because i had planned on buying a vette from a private seller eventually just worked out this way
