You can plug that VIN into Carvana or Carmax to see what they would offer. Use that as a baseline and go from there.

I did this in December 2021 for my ‘12 GS, auto, 3LT, NPP exhaust with 36k miles and they offered $38,973.

so for 4K miles I’m sure you would get more.

sorry for their loss and good luck to them with the sale.

I bought my '12 GS 3LT auto with 14k miles in Arkansas for $40k last July. Worth every penny to me.

$44K as a starting point. It is among the 2% lowest mileage Vettes for it's year, and that means something to some folks. If they are in no hurry, they could keep it for sale for awhile, then drop, if needed.

^^^This is the correct answer^^^

I'd plug the car into both, it's 15 minutes well spent. Depending on where you live you might want to sit on the car for another two months. I live where it snows and Corvette's are worth a couple thousand more and sell much easier in the spring.

That's a very rare car. I have a 4lt similar to that with 15k, and offers under 55k wouldn't even be listened to. If they don't need the money right away, I'd ask 65k and let someone who wants that car buy it.

45k, if they are in a hurry to sell, start at 42k.

After an owner has Carvana and Carmax offers, do you ask more and how much more?

Gee, thanks for the lesson. I've never bought or sold a car. SMH.

45k would be a fair price if it wasn't a centennial, and had 4x the miles. Note I said fair, not high, not killer deal, just a good price both sides would be happy with.

This car being a centennial with super low miles is worth MUCH more than 45k.
