Not so fast! Unless you know the history of the car and have maintenance records and/or have spoken to the owner I would run like the wind. High mileage is not a bad thing if you know the history of the car and can verify the information. There are too many nice C-6 Corvettes available to buy what could be a deep money pit.

Do as much homework as you can; make sure it's not a flood or salvage car. If high miles is the only reason for the low price, it seems like a good deal to me.

Not a lot of C6's out there for $15k. If this is not a salvage title or something similar, it is a steal.

It should move very quickly at that price. If you want it, worth paying $150 or so to a qualified mechanic to give it an inspection. Can't imagine you'll see a cheaper one any time soon...

Someone is a little paranoid.

OP, if the car is what you want & checks out, that is a good price. Maybe you can even get it for less.

My 1 owner '08 in very good condition w/128K miles, books under $14K to a private party on kbb. No accidents, just high miles.

And no, it's not for sale.

Dayum, according to kbb my 06 vert with 83,700 miles is worth $19,056 in a private party sale, not that I would take that for it.
