The car looks very nice from the photos posted by the dealer. The price they are asking for the car is not unreasonable. The things that are most important - -
Is there a clean CarFax or AutoCheck on the car?
Any history (service records) for the car?
Have any recalls (if applicable) been performed on the car?
If the car seems to check out and you intend to purchase it, I'd still make arrangements to take it to an independent shop and have it thoroughly checked out before you plunked down $36K for it. Hope this info helps. Best of luck!

The car does look pretty good. Love the color, especially in combination with the rims. It looks like a 1lt with the magnetic ride option. It is reasonably priced, for a dealership. The driver seat shows some wear but other than that, at least from the pictures, looks pretty good.

If one's looking for a clean roadster GS, has clean Carfax/GMVIP see if they'd bite on $35K for a quick sale.
A real beaut IMO, you don't buy it someone else will.
It's Spring, buyers are just starting to dream, this one has lots to dream about. G/L

1LT is a slow seller therefore worth quite a bit less money. That said, check it out. You are very close to 2014 money, like post #6 accurately says. A killer orange 2011 3LT with 8k sold recently for this money, 36800 to be exact.
1LT no heads up display, no heated seats, no memory seats, and no power top, no power seats, no power column.

Also, you probably won't find that color combination in a convertible and a 6sp manual again anytime soon. So if it is what you want, I would be willing to overlook that it's a 1LT if everything else checks out. You need to see it in person to go over the body and paint, but I would shoot for $34k give or take a little.
Here is a real nice yellow 2012 convertible for sale on the forum. It's an automatic though.

That's a nice car, and a nice price. Would make a real nice cruiser. Looks like previous owner went aftermarket for stereo since it was 1/2LT. Didn't see if it had hud or not.
I think that's a good car, I agree with the others, if you don't bug it, someone else will.

in some of us forum members opinions the wide-bodied convertible is probably the NICEST model to own........... 
appears the previous owner added a few items to upgrade it a bit from a 1LT trim model too............ a lot of good advice in the posts quoted in my reply..........
