You're not telling us enough about the car. What transmission, Coupe or Vert, 1, 2 or 3 LT interior, Z51 or base, mag ride or no? Lots of info that could influence this decision.
That said, if it's a base, 1LT, $40K cars like that are available, it's not a special price. If it's a Z51, 3LT Vert, auto trans, with mag ride, that's a pretty good deal.

A sports car is a roll off the dice used purchase.The best you can do to give you confidence on your purchase is all the history on the car should be checked.
Knowing the original owner and warranty's are a huge factor.Deals on leftovers,interest rates may take those used worries away.GOOD LUCK

No! And, it's a used car. You may (or may not) have to spend some money on it. Did you at least look at the tires? Any maintenance records? Can you talk to the original owner? A local... or, an auction car? Does a Carfax come with it?
