Default 2010 GS purchase Input

Looking at a car today at Chevy Dealer . Here are options:

. 2LT option
. Chrome Wheels
. NPP Exhaust
. Radio/6 CD Speakers
. 6 Spd manual
. Red exterior with tan interior.

Does not have HUD, memory seats or NAV.
1 owner with 38K miles trade on new Z07
Dealer has it as certified with 12 month warranty GM program
After dealer fees, tags and taxes(approx. $3K) it should be around $37K out door.

Using Edmunds as a guideline retail is suggested to be around $32.5K asking price. This does not give any value for the warranty package.

Looking at some private deals as well with similar mileage and same year range.

If the car is extremely clean does this seem to be a fair deal.

Regards,
JB

What's the asking price, before all the fees, warranty and taxes?

Sounds about right after all the taxes and fees. Don't pass up a deal if it's a little more if you really like it.

I got my 2011 GS ( equally optioned ) for 34,000 out the door, it really just depends on what the dealer has in it. All and all i think anywhere from 35,000-38,000 would be a good buy

Price seems about right BUT.... are you going to regret not getting one with HUD, Memory seats, Nav, etc? I would think if you continued your search you could find one for the same price with them. I paid $38 out the door for my 10 3lt along with 2 yr extended warranty and only 24k miles

Thanks for the input.

I noticed that cars down in SouthEast FL sell for a bit more than some other areas.

Plan to go to the dealer today and put my eyes on it. Realize it is not a Killer deal and can always wait until another comes along.

Price is $34.1K plush taxes, docs, plate and dealer fee.

Wow a few of you guys scored on your purchase.

Regards,
Jim

If this car doesn't have exactly what you want in a Corvette, you'll never be totally satisfied. Shop online until you find that perfect car, then travel and drive it home!

Dealer just called me before leaving the house. The car can not be certified since it is 2010 model.

This is one of the reasons I wanted to see the car. Told dealer that if they cannot knock off another $2K then I will pass.

As you guys noted. There are tons of these for sale and I can wait for right car/deal.

Depending on what do you want to use the car for, I'd say walk away, if you planning on tracking the car, a 2LT is not a bad setup.

i think it's to old to be certified and I know it's way to much money for a 38k 2010. I was looking at a 9700 mile 2010 GS manual 3LT a few months ago for the same money. Keep looking

Expand your area, and go with low miles with most options. Patience pays off!

When looking if you zero in on
A car get a car fax and get the maintenance report at the dealer. Just give him the vin. It's free. Where are you located as if we see anything we will notify you. Good luck
