I wouldn't pay more than $32K, and that's without me looking at the comparables in your market. Have you done your research or are you expecting someone here to do that for you?
. He just ask for thoughts not to have a smart comment
Its more representative of the dealerships imo. They might not take the time to clean stuff on the lot, but i also wouldnt expect them to be showroom new during winter in the midwest.
Its worth noting, GS and Z06 brakes will squeak when cold. Its just thei nature of aggressive track rated pads.
That is probably true on the first part with the dealership. But would think they would have cleaned up the rear ducts more than that. It is still a car they are hoping to make some money on and the one definitely could have been presented much better. I agree with the other saying walk away from those two.
However, the brakes mine squeaked like crazy, and I know I have read folks have had that issue on here on the GS and Z06, but as soon as I replaced them it hasn't made a peep for the past 2.5 months. Bought the car on Monday early January, I got the pads over nighted along with a front tag bracket on Wed, and changed them that Saturday. The pads had a good bit of wear left and think it may have been more of an issue with the car sitting for awhile and maybe the design with the pins needing to be cleaned up and lubed a bit. Just glad I don't have to be embarrassed at coming to a stop now.
Funny thing with the tag bracket, found out there was one in the compartment in the back. So now I have two brackets in the compartments in the back. Can't bring myself to put them on the front yet. LoL. Pressing my luck I know, but would rather get a different mount as the OEM one is a horrible spot and ruins the nose.
Just found a 2011 3LT GS w 26k miles...Red. Original owners. Dual top, 6 Spd, NAv, HUD, Dual mode exhaust...They have maint records from local dealer that serviced it. Sounds like the couple babied the car. He had it listed for 36k and told my dad via message they would take 33K. Im thinking if its clean, 32k would be a good price?
That sounds like a winner there! Hopefully it works out for you! Let us know how things go with the car. Pretty much loaded and sounds like well maintained!
Dual tops is also a nice option. If you only prefer one top you can always sell the other one if you choose to. Guys are always looking for a targa top. I got both tops also, but prefer the color top on mine most of the time.
My local dealer offered me 30k for my 1LT 2010 GS this past November.
I kept my car asd I love it.
I've got 36k miles
Elijah, dealers are perfectly willing to overpay on a quality trade if feel they are going to leverage that into a full price sale of another car.
I am not saying he valued your car too high, only stating a circumstance that often leads to an over-value offer. A few years ago, a dealer offered me $6k on a 15-year old Silverado with 200K on the clock. Of course, he would only give me that allowance if I paid FP for the Vette I was looking at. Jus' sayin'
If I was in the market for a Corvette this spring be pricing around new C7s. There are over 10000 inventory now and more being built. Unbelievable deals on new.

I've seen similar scenarios with coupes and z06 models, with respect to the majority of advertised prices vs what people on CF are saying they'd actually pay.
Right now you can get a C7 14, 15, or 16 in the low to mid 40s.
Seriously doubt that a C6 would bring that kind of money other than a Z 06 or ZR 1.
There seems to be some issues there. But little things that are wrong show total neglect. The white on the door panels does happen, a lot of members report that, but a little care and 5 minutes of your time makes it go away. Showing a car with a bad battery, mouse eaten hood liner and those door sill scratches show a utter disregard for the car. God knows what else they NEVER did to the car they were supposed to.
Thats my point with all these cars. If it looks shitty when you show it, did you care to do everything it needs? They have all the maint records, but are those all proper? I offered him 32k, so i can pay my detailer to go over it and do a light paint correction. Im guessing I can replace the plastics that are effed up beyond a detailer. He has a new hood liner and likely will need a new battery...he said it was 2-3 years old and he disconnects it in the winter when its stored.
If he goes for 32k...maybe I make him meet me at the local dealer and throw it on the lift and have a diagnostics/inspection done?
That's a little disappointing. For $32k it may still be a decent deal and worth getting all those little things taken care of.
I was lucky, the guy I bought my car from spent more time detailing it than driving it. We made a deal over the phone and when I went to see it and pick it up, it was pristine and even freshly waxed. It even still had the clear plastic from the factory over the climate control screen.

Im guessing ALL fluids need changing....
That would be the first thing I do. But for the money your paying you shouldn't have to lay out the kind of money it's going to cost you to get it right even at $32K. Just from your pics was the inside ever cleaned? The floors even look disgusting. Good luck.

When you walk up on a car that is all shiny and slimey under the hood and that interior, you still have no idea if they cared to do everything it needs up until the day before they put it up for sale. I would rather walk up on a car in its natural state than one someone just ran across town and had a cheap detail done will they had lunch.
I did not ask for your "smart comment", pal. See what I did there?
