Default 2008 C6 base high mileage $15k budget.

Like the title says, 2008 (LS3 car) AUTO ONLY C6. Higher mileage is more than fine but the title MUST be clean. Color does not matter, options do not matter, but the car must be free of issues mechanically and cosmetically.

Budget is around $15k CASH and the closer to Baton Rouge, Louisiana the better but distance is not a deal breaker.

Show me what you got.

there are a handful of them on various online platforms but unfortunately other sides of the country. I figured I’d reach out to the community before pursuing one of them. It’s definitely a small pool, but not that difficult to find.

No, haven't sold it. Love driving it this time of year, and with Pirelli snow tires, it's ready for anything!

be better off going for a C5. You're offering a trade-in value.

Fwiw im not selling my present 2008 c6 z51 with npp jntil my c8 gets delivered.

fwiw i have 128k miles and the car has been fantastic..in fact its so good its annoying me to actually sell this car except i only have a two car garage.

i daily mine..looks awesome and I get tons of compliments on it..

the price you mentioned seems fair and when my c8 comes in next year some time I fully expect to sell my car for 15 grand...so idont think your looking for a unicorn...i think its an appropriate and fair for buyer and seller.

im the original owner and its been a great car and its anappripriate price....im not selling now but wanted to post up...

Jerri, it is good to hear from a reasonable person. Almost a year ago, I sold an '08 3LT, very nice condition, 104K miles, for $17,500. By comparison, the daily research I do uncovered, today, an '08 3LT convertible with 15K miles, and a price of...........$33K. There are people who really want to sell their cars, and there are people who seem to only want to advertise them (or, who are trying to recover some of the funds from their own incredibly stupid buying decision).

Hi-mileage C6's are fantastic on so many levels! Not only can you acquire one at a truly reasonable number, but anything that might have 'gone wrong', has already done so, and it'll just keep going, and going, and...

I just came across a ZR1 I'd like to pick up so I'm putting my '08 Silver - AT - NPP - tinted, Nav, 4LT two-tone interior, on the market. Mileage just turned 178k. Selling for $13k, with new Pirelli SorratoZeros on repro competition grey wheels. I'm the second owner, and 99.9% of the miles are highway. Never tracked. I'll include the Forgeline wheels shown for another $500. Located in NH. Buzz ~ 603 433-3222.
