Just out of curiosity, are you guys saying that 35k is high for it being a 2008 or 35k is high for a used Vette in general? Is there any reasoning behind this such as increasing concerns over certain parts of the car?

I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the one you are referring to is the Hertz rental models. Out here in Hawaii they are going for anywhere between $35k - $41k. It has high mileage because it was probably rented out a lot, meaning a lot of different driving styles. Me personally I'd pass on it and keep looking. There are a lot of great deals out there.

Assuming the car has not been abused, or driven a large amount in stop and go traffic, 35,000 miles is not bad on a Corvette. The wear and tear on moving parts is minimal also assuming it was maintained properly with proper oil changes etc.

You kind of made a statement that you hope the 30-36 added hp will make up for lack of options. I don't think so; it really is 2 different things. As to the price, good, I'd say, but miles add or subtract from the price imo. And it has polished gumbys, not chrome (they weren't factory chrome if they are).
And to the other question raised whether 35K miles is a lot for an '08, yes and no. For a daily driver, no. For an occasional weekend car in the snowbelt, probably yes. Mine's an 8/07 bought '08, and it has maybe 22K miles on it.
