Seems a little high to me. Yes it is a 4K mile car, but not a lot of options on it.

Out here that is the going price. Z51 brings another $2K or so. It appears low mileage is a game changer. Seller’s market here for sure. They are not budging on pricing and they are selling. Maybe winter will change that some? Traditionally the case…but unsure in these times. Interestingly…M7 is bringing more than A8 as well. Sold my M7 and regret it…

It is a 1LT which is a base car. The options listed are just the standard equipment on the 1LT trim level.

... and the basic 3 year, 36k miles bumper to bumper warranty is over.

They are referring to the basic 5 year, 60k miles powertrain warranty.

The price isn’t too far off for similar cars…however….the lot where the car sits would make me consider going elsewhere. It just looks out of place from the other inventory.

Then again, used Stingrays are popping up all over.

I would ask them to reduce the price to $55k and then look into getting a GM warranty if that is an option for you.

I know the owner of the lot. Was hoping to get it down closer to $50.
It may be a pipe dream though, just bought a house 2 months ago. My credit probably can't handle a new car payment right now.

Does this model have paddle shifters on the auto? If I have to give up the 3rd pedal it's still gotta be fun to drive.

$50k isn’t far fetched; you just have to be patient…and maybe expand your search radius. Paddles are there with the A8; but I added a Soler Throttle Controller for enhanced response.

Ignore the comments about the price being too high for a 1LT. Just go drive it and if it fits, take it home.

Also, your home purchase may be a blessing that supports the required patience.

You remember that old cartoon with the vultures that are tired of waiting and one of them says, "Screw this, I'm gonna go kill something"?
That's me and my relationship with patience.

In today's market I would say that price is right on the money. 2 weeks ago I went to Vroom just to see what they would pay me for my car. It is a 2018, 1lt 12,600 miles with the performance exhaust and battery protection package only. They offered me 53k. I was almost tempted.....
