Way too much in my opinion. I paid the same for a new 2007 before GM started discounting prices. It's a buyer's market and you can do much better. Don't be in a hurry.

I paid $42k or so for my brand new 08. Granted, I got an insane deal, but still...Spend a few K more and get yourself an 08 or 09. You'll love the ls3 motor

You might also go to Carmax or Autotrader to check on some prices. That way, you can quote some facts as to why you only want to offer X.

Given the market out there, this seems high. That being said, if it's the "right" car and it's the "right" time for you, a couple of dollars here or there, spread out over the period of time you own the car, really is not that big a deal.
