5 years and roughly 6000 miles. I don't care what you guys think. Its my second car and I don't have to or need to drive it. I have it for fun. Get put away for the winter and doesn't see rain.

I’d have to say that the percentage of our cars that have “had the crap beaten out of them” is VERY low. Sure, some have but considering the power and handling potential these cars possess, most owners treat them with kid gloves.

Either way seems a tad overpriced. I purchased a 2012 GS 1lt 1.5 years ago for 32k in near perfect condition. I'm sure you could get the price down a bit though. One of the main selling points for me was that the car was one owner and the guy had traded it into the same dealer he had purchased it at which is one of the biggest Corvette dealers in the country. Always nice to be able to track the whole history of the car.

I've also seen Carfax report owner changes when it was just a title change to remove a lien holder. (My own one owner truck)

Not uncommon.
1st driver put on 87K (7 years)
2nd driver put on 2.5K. (3 years)
I put 3.5K driving it back of New Jersey and its my daily driver.

Price seems to be right. Make sure it has the options you want.

I would contact the 3rd owner and just ask him, if it will put your mind to rest, but I, like most on here don't see anything peculiar about it. Everyone has different reasons for owning a Vette and have different driving habits.

Ok here's the fishy? part.
Owner one 1yr 3mo 6,562mi....Owner two one year with 11,486mi. (drove the poop out of it). Owner three 2yr 5mo and only put 551mi on it?
This is from "Car Fax" off the dealer website.
What do you guys think?
It seems like a nice car and the price is close to right.
Thanks
Dave
I don't see anything at all with any of it. Owner 2 put average miles on it...how is that "driving the poop out of it"? Owner 3 is the knucklehead of the group...an average of 7.6 miles per week?

if the car is nice, and all else checks out, I would have zero worries based solely on the info given.
