Default Need Help - Thoughts on this C6!

Hi Everyone,

Been on this forum for a while now. Had a C5 and now moving to a C6. Wanted to get some input on this C6 that I'm strongly considering. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Mike

32k out the door has you leaving without that car, lol. You're crazy thinking they're gonna chop that much money off under market value.

It seems to be in nice shape. Cyber gray is a nice looking color. It's priced really cheap for the miles. The biggest downside for me is it's an automatic, but if you want an auto, I'd be down there cash in hand at that price.

I bought the convertible version of that car about nine months ago with 25K miles for just under $37K. IMO with the used market being so strong I think that's a fair deal assuming of course that the car's as clean as can be. Let us know if you grab it 👍

Car was probably from a state that requires it. No way anyone is buying that car for 32.

I'd say it's a fair price for the car assuming everything looks good under the hood and no crazy sounds when you test drive it.

Maybe not but you never know what the counter offer will be. I always make a cash offer and see who bites.....usually works out in my favor and if not oh well there are plenty of other Chevy's to buy. Hell just eat it and pay their asking price, ask to buy the clear coat protection coverage while your at it.

Looks like a nice car at a fair price.

Looks to be in good shape based on photos. The silver lights make me think those were replaced, so check the front fascia for broken tabs. This time last year that car would’ve been $30-32k, but everyone thinks they’re worth more now, so if that’s comparable in your area & the car checks out, go for it

Dealers make more money when you finance through them so the cash business means nothing to them.

It's a low mileage, low-owner car that went to auction and has sat for sale for 7 months. I'd be very careful when looking it over to see why so many people have passed on it.

Its a 2 seat sports car in a pandemic and economic crisis. It probably hasn't sold because they priced it aggressively and people keep wanting it for 32k out the door lol.

You haven't been paying attention to the used car market. Used cars are selling like hotcakes, and at a higher price than they were a year ago.

Last year at this time I was looking for that exact car for my father... and no way in hell you could buy it for $30k anywhere in the western US, at least with that low of mileage or other issues. Maybe at $32k, but it would be gone the day it was listed. If you were willing to except 50k plus mileage you could hit your price range.

FWIW my father ended up with pretty much the same car with M6 for $34k and we had to travel 700 miles to get it. I thought it was a fair price at the time but certainly not a steal.

YMMV

Nice car, as has been mentioned. I can't believe they painted the wheels and not the center caps though. Needs black lug nuts too.

I agree with others that it's priced fairly for the year and mileage. The extra $650 "paperwork" charge is where they get their extra profit and maybe you can work with them on the price based on that. IMO if it's good looking in person then I'd say go for it. If you're happy then we're happy. I have a cyber gray GS so I'm a little bias.
