My car in good condition books for $31k on KBB, $35k good condition TRADE IN on NADA. It seems like KBB just recently updated their prices on the Corvettes and put them all under what they are selling at. I can't find my exact car within 500 miles of me for under $33k (I didn't look that hard).

Also, Razorbackfan, does your car have a rebuilt/salvage title? $22k for what you got seems too good to be just a great deal, unless it was someone you know.

Clean title. Didn't know him, I found it on ebay. I didn't buy it off ebay but called him afterwards and flew up bought it and drove it 1200 miles home. He did think the trans was acting weird and dropped the price. I figured if I had to rebuild the trans it was still worth it.
I had Rhino79 flash the trans back to stock and tune it properly which fixed any weird issues and I got a near perfect car for a screaming deal.

I picked up my Jeep last night from getting serviced at the dealership (I know, I know...), and they had a '02 M6 with ~50k miles for ~$21K; I laughed all the way home. I was clean, but not ~10 yrs old, $21K "clean."

It was a C5, and I don't know if it was Z51 or not; what are people thinking?

Bought my C5 for 8k on ebay. Drove 6hrs to Mass. to pick it up. Needed a little TLC but with the price I bought it for I didnt mind. That was last December. Fast forward 11 months, 370ci H/C/I/E, 150 shot, 3600 stall, 3:42 gear ect ect ect. My little TLC turned into something rediculous lol. Stay patient, winter is a great time for prices and with the intro of the C7 in Jan 13' they may come down even more. Good Luck

That's going to be a sharp car. The LT4 interior is sweet. Love the two tone.

Glad you found the one you wanted. I got my 2008 last year for 29K out the door with 40K on it. Found it on autotrader in Atlanta and got the car that I wanted for the price that was reasonable cause my high was 35K.
