Mid $30's sounds about right for an '08 but it also depends on what you are looking for. There are 09's and 10's out there that are base 1 or 2 LT's that can be had for around the same $$'s.
Be particular there are plenty of used C6's out there to choose from. Happy hunting keep us posted.

There's this book called "Corvette Black Book", by Mike Antonick. Don't even think about deciding on a particular year until you get it. It goes through all vettes year by year and describes each model year change in detail.
I'm still thinking about thinking about upgrading to a C6. My research thus far has me eliminating everything prior to 2008. I'd love to get a 2010+ GS, but not sure my budget will approve.
Let us know what you decide, and good luck in your search.

For $32-35K you should be able to get an '08 with less than 25K miles,
3LT, NAV, NPP, and Mag Ride...
I wouldn't worry too much about milage, however. Just try to find a car that was well cared for. Would most likely need tires, in that milage range, if they weren't already replaced.
Good Luck,

I had the same decision when I bought my used C6. I knew I wanted another convertible and I liked Jet Stream Blue. I looked for quite a while but found a 2008 6 sp. 3lt with 5000 mi. and NPP. It's a non Z51 car. I love this car. My 04 C5 was a great car as well, but this car is even nicer.
Decide on the model, color, transmission, accessories, and then enjoy the search. There are some beautiful used Corvettes out there. Let us know maybe we can even help you find one.

Everyone says go for 08 or newer and I can understand that. Big improvements in the LS3. However the LS2 is no grannie car. and you can find those at a bit lower price point which will leave you some budget room for when MOD fever starts to kick in. Lots of cool fun mods that you can have a great time doing on a Vette. Have fun in your search and take your time. Now may be a good time cause prices may be a bit low still. They do go up a bit in the spring when warm weather hits. Good Luck.

Take your time in searching, there are tons of great deals out there on C6's. No matter what the year. I know it' easy to jump at the first one you see, I did.
