Default Information Please .....

I am looking at a 2008 JSB Vette with VIN 1G1YY26W585105546. The car is new with a MSRP of $49490.
Can anyone tell me:

1. What recalls has Chevy had that would effect this car ?

2. How could I tell if the fixes for these recalls were done ?

3. Approximately when was this car built ?

4. What would be a good price for this car ( 2LT, Coupe, Auto Trans, Standard Wheels, Base Suspension) ?

Thanks !!!

Not to sound crass, but why do you care about bullets 1 through 3? BTW, I have an 08 that has had no recalls and was built in september 07 if that helps.

As for price, I am finding you can buy these cars for approximately invoice pretty easily.

Mine was built in Oct 07 and to date have not had any recalls. At Kerbeck in Atlantic City, you could buy this car, if the website is correct, for several thousand less then invoice. They are adverising 08's at $44,900.

www.kerbeck.com

good luck
