Looking for advice
I found a 13 427 1sb
It has 40000 miles front and back tires are wore pretty evenly. Car looks great tires are needing to be replaced due to dry rot. They are asking 47,900 I just like some advice on what people think. They are offering to replace all 4 tires with brand new.
What do yalls think is a good price.

mileage and condition, as well as color, will impact pricing ...............
that is a great price if the car checks out, even if they did NOT replace the tires................
pictures are a must too.................

looks like Cyber Gray no optional wheels, splitter or skirts................ MSRP was 75K+ without any options or fees.............. you may want to take the VIN to any GM dealer and have the run a VIS report on the car.............. will give you build information, any warranty or GM dealer service history and dealer's will do this for FREE............. if it checks out, well worth the price.................

Check the Kelly Blue Book and NADA prices. If it has been on the lot a while they may come down on the price. Make sure it's not a salvage or reconditioned title - which could be the case if it was flooded or stolen. Best regards

If it's made it to 40k miles without heads, I think it will be fine. The dealer has a method to listen to the valves to determine if they're in spec or failing.
At 40k miles, that price isn't as great, it's not bad, but not a crazy outlier deal.

You might want to go over to the ZO6 section and do a little research about valve guide issues. Dealer is full of BS about the listen to the valves part.

Good for you my Corvette brother! Looking is half the fun anyway. I don't know if you're aware of this, but you can create accounts on cargurus, autotrader, and cars.com for free. Enter the car, price range and distance you desire and they will email or text you every time a car is listed that fits your criteria. Best regards
