3rd party dealership so the warranty is as I have not contacted GM about the existing warranty.

The outside is pretty good except some rock chips on the front 8/10 no damage to rims
The interior is in good condition
8/10
I have yet to test drive it but everything seems to work but a test drive would need to be accomplished.
The tires are bald so a new set of tires is needed.

They dont seem to negotiate much so I wanted to get everyone’s opinion on if it’s a good deal.

Well, if it was a good deal at 45k, it's even better now at $43,995. It's the end of the month, and the dealer wants to get rid of this car. If the cosmetics aren't perfect, offer $41,000 and see what happens. This car compares very closely to one that Hendrick in Naples had advertised for around 44k a couple of weeks ago. They dropped it to around $41,500 on one web site, and the sales manager worked really hard to get me to bite. (I liked his approach, by the way, and would be happy to buy a car from him.) I didn't like the color combination and didn't go for it, but someone else did.

Thank for the response, as I look further outside of San Antonio towards Houston I see a lot more options so I will probably pass on this one.

Here is my take. With the prices of new Corvettes starting in the low 40's I would be hard pressed to purchase a 3 year old car with 30k miles on it for the same price. Of course the car is a Z51 / 3lt but with the miles on the car your looking a brake job, tires and who knows what else. Its up to you but I would rather have 0 miles on a car than someone else's car who for all you know could have tracked the car?? I would say I wouldn't offer them over $40,000 for the car. i personally would buy new.

I went to Alamo Toyota and don't care for the tactics. The online price is not the price they want to sell the car at... if you dont have any luck toward Houston, keep an eye out toward Boerne. We bought our 2008 there a few tears ago at a Mercedes dealership.

I was going to make a similar post but low $40's? I thought like $46-47 was doable for a base C7 but I've never seen low $40's.

There have been plenty of 2014 C7 convertibles advertised in the low $40s, including GM Certified cars. Once they get close to 30k miles, the prices drop off quickly. It doesn't matter whether it's a 1LT or a 3LT.

It's now $42,996. If it wasn't so far away from me, I would be very interested.

14's have the best warranty of the C7 series, 5 years/100k.
