Need some additional input.
A friend of a friend is looking for a C-6. I've been helping him with info on changes through the years and if I thought any deals were worth considering. He was looking at a 2005 with around 40k mi. for $27.5k. Which I thought was a bit high for the year. C-6 deals around this area have been very slim with only some overpriced units at certain used vette shops and area dealers. What do you think he can get with $30k with reasonably low miles and in very good condition? I went through this two years ago searching for a late year C-5. They were either beat or in great condition but the owners wanted a nice dollar for them. I eventually just went with a new GS after much searching. The only thing else I can think of is waiting for Carlisle and seeing what type of deal he can find there .

Stay away from that 05 at that price,way to high.For 30 grand at this late stage,an 07 should be in order with lower then forty k on it.A higher mile 08 maybe.All better cars mechanically then the 05 out of the box. I just paid 34ish for an 8000 mile 08!

If you can wait till Carlisle all the better. But I was in the same position in 2008. Looking to spend about $30K. Ended up buying new for $44K, a little more, but is was NEW! Look around, right on this forum you got dealerships offering 2012 LT1's for $40k. So which would you buy? A used 3-4 year old for $30k or a brand new one for $40k?

Late last year I would've said a determined & lucky buyer might find a decent '08 for around $30k.
But not anymore. Seems like prices have firmed-up in anticipation of Spring.
Of course it depends on miles, options, location, condition, history, etc etc.
But I think you should be able to find a REALLY nice '07 for around $30k, like this:

Enjoy your search!
