This should get you close to what the market would bear with a private sale.

A little research will yield ballpark figures for both wholesale and retail.
Learn what those #s are before anything.
NJ may have one or more specialty car dealers, also.
Placing a nicely appointed low mile C7 for sale on consignment w/ one's a consideration.
Not getting beat-up by dealers or run-around by tire kickers, pay an up-front fee w/o headaches.
Only downside's awaiting right buyer to walk thru the door, which might not be long w/ a beautifully color-combed C7.

I go to Car Max whenever I want to sell or trade in. You will get a realistic price that they will honor with a check if you can't get it sold privately.

CarMax was the lowest number. Followed by Autotrader and TrueCar being the highest. Dealer came in at Truecar price. Why am I selling? Love the car, just not giving it as much attention as I have, that is why I am considering.
Not sure I am ready to trade in daily driver, that is why I was just considering selling the vette.

Brownstone interior is a big selling point in my book. Not many around that I've seen and with a 3LT is a really classy looking addition to a great car. I'd try it private sale first and I don't personally think mid-40's is out of the question. Tis the season !!
Good luck with your sale if you decide to do so.
