Price
Have a 2014 Premier Edition Laguna Blue serial number 123 of the 500. Might need to sell it due to medical condition. Need to find out what it is worth. Has only 16,000 miles. Dealer says it is only worth 25.000.

Funny story, but that's how I bought one of my current Corvette's. I was at CarMax on other business and this guy drives in a beautiful low mileage Corvette and tells them he needs to sell it. I stood back and just listen, and when the salesman went in to look up a price I handed the guy my card and told him I'd pay $500 more than whatever they offered. About 2 hours later I get a call telling me to come pick up my car... 2 hours after that I was driving a low mileage creampuff that I pretty much stole...

I just traded in a Premier Edition # 22 with 26,000 miles on it and got $41k as a trade in. Beforehand I got a Carvana cash offer of $40,870, so I knew I wouldn’t accept anything less that that.
Unless you’ve trashed that car, it is worth around $40k, minimum.

Get an offer from Carfax and Carvana, then go to your closest Chevy dealer and ask them to beat it. If not, you already have a backup plan. I’m guessing you should get an offer between $40-45k

It takes less than 5 minutes to get an offer from Carvana, all you need is the VIN and mileage. Anyone trading in a Corvette without at least getting an offer is crazy as Carvana pays well for low mileage Corvette's.

Like someone else suggested I would give Carvana a try. I just traded a car in with them and it was the easiest sale I’ve done. Took them 5 minutes to pick the car up at my house and then got the transfer in My bank account the next day.

Get a quote from Carvana or CarMax and see what they price it out at. I got a quote from Carvana for my 2014 A6 2LT coupe with 4700 miles and they came back with $43.5K. Your dealer is way off on the price.

Worth WAY more then $25K for sure 
talk about a low ball, that is an insult!
However the PE cars don't command any more then a comparable 3LT Z51 in the same condition with similar mileage. In other words just because its a limited edition the market doesn't pay extra for the uniqueness. Someone here on the forum might may slightly more for these cars but dealers and other sellers will not.
I believe the reason is there was nothing aside from the dash plaque that you couldn't get by checking the right options boxes. Long term the Brownstone interior is rarest part of the package. This color turned out to not be popular thus rare doesn't equal desirable.
