I beg to differ on the undesirable color combo.I have that crystal red metallic/cashmere and EVERYONE that has seen the car just loves the combo. And that is at Corvette shows with vette owners that have other combos.

I've never heard that described as an undesirable color, though a black interior would probably look better. Regardless, the trim level would really make the diff in the price. If it's a 3LT, it's a very decent buy. If it's a 1LT, less desirable to many people. But, it might not matter to you.
Either way, come in $3G under to check the owner's urgency. If you have to pay asking price, and you like it, you can do that.

THE GS you're talking about!!! Pics would help. Regardless, offer $39K if you really want this car and start the negotiations.

FWIW, one year ago I paid $40k for my two-owner ‘12 GS, 3LT, auto, with 16k miles. Crystal Red Metallic with embroidered two-tone seats. Dual roofs, extra floor mats and cover included. He was asking $48k and I got him down to $40, which I was very comfortable with. Good luck.
