Hello everyone,

I am thinking of trading in my 2014 1LT, c7 7 speed manual z51, cyber gray with options of navigation, npp exhaust and black wheels with 5900 miles to a 2015 8 speed auto convertible.

Car max offered me $54k.

Is that a low ball, fair price, good price or run forest run with the $54k?

Thank you everyone for the feedback.

1LT or 2LT? Mag ride?

If it's a 1LT w/o Mag, it's a good offer. If you bought it before the huge price increase then you are doing good.

Sorry, Yes it is a 1LT w/o Mag.

Of course since it is with Car Max, I will lose around $3k of sales tax as opposed to trade it in to the Corvette dealership.

Thank you for your feedback.

What would your run Forest run price for you? Anything over $55k or $56k?

Most dealerships will match Carmax's offer.

What was MSRP on the car?

I'd say that's not a bad offer.

It doesn't seem bad for a 1LT.

I don't know what other options it has but considering I just paid $56,585 for my 15 1LT that's not too bad for CarMax, I've sold a couple cars to CarMax.
