2012 Corvette base LT1 value

I am a long time C1/C2 guy and don't know anything about C6s. A friend of mine is looking to sell his 2012 base 6.2L LT1 car. He is the second owner and it has 42000 miles, automatic trans, Crystal Red. Not a scratch on it, and very well maintained. He does not want to post pictures. So I am asking for a value range. This is a Texas car. Any help is appreciated.

I think those are quite high for a base auto 1LT. Upper $20k, maybe $30k if he finds the right buyer.

He's gonna have a real hard time selling it if he doesn't want to post pictures.

Agreed. Even mid 30s on a base 1LT is very high. Paid around 28 plus tax in October for a 2013 Base Vert 2LT with NPP, Mag Ride, HUD, NAV and automatau.with just under 30k miles from a Nissan dealership.

It's going to vary severely by region and other factors. My neighbor just sold his '05 base a/t coupe for $28.5k. 49k miles and not a perfect car. 100% stock 1 owner car.
