Mid 20's sounds good to me, What do you want to hear this time?

Mid 20's is where I'd like to be however I should have said they said he would not budge at the 29500. So is this too far off or fair?

It's low mileage, but still pricey for a 2005.

I was originally looking at 2005 models to save a bit, but from what I've read, the 06 has the upgraded differential and the 07 has the 5yr/100k warranty along with a better chance of some of the '05 quirks being worked out. The price difference between '05, '06, and '07 is small, so I'd look for a 2007 model for around $28k-$30k.

It sounds like we're both getting impatient. Try to wait since you'll regret it later when you see other deals out there.

I thought the 08's is when the 5/100k coverage began. Am I wrong about that?

To the OP. Deef try to hold back on a "deal" like this. I just looked at an 06 for 28k and that was here in hawaii. Then again you will have the dreamers out there with 05's wanting 32k+. There are two I looked out just like that before I wised up a bit.

Im in a battle with the wife wanting to spend darn near 50k on a Camaro when I could buy a certain LMB twin turbo on here for 49k. uggg.

Buy one off here, you'd be shocked at the deals you can get if you are serious and willing to fly or drive a little to get the Vette home. Like others said you could probably get that car 5k less on here with maybe a little more mileage, but also more options. If you can spend 30k you should be able to get a tastefully modded, etc for around 30K with no taxes some times...

I've been looking for the right 2005 - 08 coupe for some time. Based on my research, mid 20's is for a no mod, no z51 or F55, no 1SB/3LT, no NAV, no warranty, with some degree of miles (not low).

As you add these, the price goes up. If you like the car and it has what you want buy it.

Just my opinion.
