Well with so many people moving up to the C7 the C6 has taking a beating from what I have seen. Not sure what the market in NC is like, but even with low mileage I would think you're in the $38-39k range. Maybe $40k if you hold out for the right buyer.

Have you ever heard of autotrader? But, then, you are "Thinking about a sale".
ASKING price is $38-40. Be honest...come back and tell us if you would sell your car for that...

I'm thinking about my date last night with Raquel Welch and Jaclyn Smith. I was a human sandwich.

I believe that your trade in value would be in the low to mid 30s.
I traded in a 2012 GS 3lt vert with 7500 miles in April 2016 for a C7 and only got 40k. Basic dealer excuse was GM is discounting the new ones so much, it made mine that much less. Btw, I sold the C7 in Nov 2016 and went back to a c6! A very expensive lesson that newer isn't always better.
Good luck.

Trade in? I'd guess reality would put it about $32k max but a dealer can manipulate the transaction's look to imply you're getting much more. The reason is that last I looked, C7's are being heavily discounted both for their questionable reliability and the shadow of the coming C8.

Why not ask? Getting a model deal from a dealer doesn't mean you're forced to accept. The real question is how much cash you need to put into a deal to get the C7 rather than some imaginary number of your 'trade'.

You have a CarMax in Raleigh why not take it in a get a free estimate.
Many comment it was the best money they could get for their corvette coupled with a non emotional buyer.
It also gives you a tool to use if you take it back to the GM dealer to trade in.

eeesh, just how old are you ?

Maybe I had that thought about 40 years ago, you know they are in their 70's right?

I'm 53 and I could think of a lot more desirable woman to think about than them.

I just bought a low mileage 11 gs similar to yours from a dealer for 30,000...that might give you an idea...means the wholesale price is probably around 25K

look up low KBB if you really want to sell the car
you can enter mileage color etc get a ballpark may be better off trading it in

Low miles is a plus but people will shop for the best deal they can find

1970's versions or 2017? That dream could easily be a nightmare IMO.

Thought about it, keeping the C6 and probably looking to get a C8 in a few years.

Thanks all.
