Default If anyone is looking for a very clean C6

This is the one I sold ten years ago now sitting on a used lot where I live. It's only had two owners. I put the first 34K on it. It's on consignment and it's been there a few weeks. I would imagine both the dealership and the owner would be willing to deal some on the price. If I was in the market I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Looks like my link goes to the general website... just scroll down, it's the 7th car from the top.

Did GM make more than 10 Corvettes that AREN'T silver?

Every time the price seems right or the condition is great, the car is silver.

Well, Silver is the fastest color.


Seriously, I wanted silver because my other corvette I owned was silver. Very easy to take care of. There's not a scratch on the car anywhere. The current owner only drove it 13K miles in ten years, and he's 82 years old. The car is 100% stock as it rolled out of the factory, never been tracked.

I'm not knocking silver. There are color choices for a reason. It just seems every one I might be interested in is silver.

I've just had too many silver/gray cars.

Well, this one's also about two thousand miles away from you, too. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

Price is not unreasonable for the miles.

Being a consignment car, the dealer probably has it marked up 2-3K. That means the owner is willing to part with it for 16-17K
