I traded my 12K mile DSOM 05 C6 in last Friday. The dealer gave me $41,500. The tax savings was another $3,500 and he told me to take any parts off that I wanted to. I sold my Motor City Molds hood to Hoffie for $1,500 and the bullets for $500, so I wound up with $47,000...not too bad, but your dealers offer is crazy. Tell them the should take you out to dinner before they screw you. Good luck
