If the car is a 2005 it would be a four speed automatic not a six speed auto if that makes any difference to you. No paddle shifts.

Purchased a similarly equipped 2006 2 months ago. Mine was a garage queen with less than 20K but I also got 2 tops with it and a few other extras (painted console and instrument pods, painted engine covers etc). Seeing as I got a 6 speed with paddle shift and the exact color I was looking for, I was willing to pay a little extra.

That said, I would not pay more than 25K for the one you have listed.

2005 was first year for C6. There is much controversy over reliability/repair needs for this model year. Play it safe and look for a later model.

dealer or individual? I agree with most prices already posted; but would pay closer to 29 for properly inspected, certified, warrantied etc car. I would pay 25-26 clean car otherwise. We will all have an opinion; what matters is what are YOU willing to pay and what's important to YOU? I'm particularly sensitive to used sports car without any proper, verified inspection due to past experience...
