You're right, it is an 05, according to the 10th character of the VIN. That means the 3-yr/36K mile warranty is about to run out. There are several here who will look that up for you. Hopefully, one of them will respond soon.

Default Thanks.

They claim it is a new car, but, looks like there is no warranty left.
And, they want $53,445 for this thing with 38 miles on it.

The repair history stinks for a car that is "new" and w/o a warranty in 2 days.
I am not even sure it would be worth it to buy such a vehicle.

You are much better off buying a new 2008 for that kind of money!

I have been trying to buy a vert around 06/07 for 40k or less.
I really didn't want a monthly payment (unless it was 0.0% financing).
Most everyone is above that number, for now. I'll just bide my time. Something will show up sooner or later.

Actually, that Vette does appear to be brand new because there is no delivering dealer information. If it was sold then the dealer that sold it would be listed. Also, the warranty start date for dealer cars is always 1 month after the pre-delivery inspection date. The warranty start date is then updated after the vehicle is purchased.

I've also seen more problems from other cars right off of the carrier - but I'm not saying that makes it ok

Default A good price?

Anyone care to venture a good price or offer I can call these people with?
I looked at KBB and this car is worth about $35k when it is traded in with low miles.
I really am not interested in dropping 20k instantly.
