I'm sure you can....if that is what you really want. Do what makes you happy. As long as it is affordable, then why not trade up to the vet? The F body love will always be in your heart
Besides you can always have the fun of finding another one some day.

405 hp stock... hmmmmmmm
Do it Jay.

$18.5? Are you nuts?!?! I've seen T/As go for way more than that. I'm surprised you're not asking in the $20k range. Tell him to dream on, that's my opinion.

42,000 miles... ... I think it's a fairly good price. I've had dealers offer me $14.5-$16K for it.

KBB quotes $20,465 as private party value. Of course this is without the mods! $18,250 if you were to trade at a dealer.

Yep, and if you ask any dealer about KBB, they'll kinda laugh at you because the values are a bit high. I was offered $14.5 and $16K from dealers.

Besides, I wanted to move quickly on it, so I priced it to move. I owe $7600 on it, so this will net me $10.5K. Hard to complain about that

Net 10.5 is a good amount to put down on a vette

I know two guys who are used car dealers both of them say that they use KBB to make the car look like its a steal by saying its $1000 under the KBB price.

I told him I'll accept his offer... let's see if he comes through.

Cross your fingers.

He's for his truck to sell, which he expects to be gone by the end of the week. ..... ........................

I sure hope so. After finding out how much cheaper the insurance is, I have to go through with this!!!!!!!!!!

The Corvette is cheaper than the T/A?

One must always remember that Car Dealers are theives with a licence. Trade in is not usually as good as they can make it sound. An Example is if you buy a car for cash. You can get a great deal they drop money off like its going out of style. but if you do a trade in they can fudge the money around droping the price of the car and making it look like they are giving you more for your car. A car dealer will always make money, and they never do a deal unless they will come out on top. Black book value is lower than blue book, because blue book is made up from current market values and what things are actually selling for. Insurance companys always use black book because thay can pay out less.(and they are the true criminals in the world) And that is what a dealer will use too. I fully support the sell privately and buy with cash even if you have to get a loan from the bank. Its always a better deal. IMO
