I'll tell ya what, when she first told me what she wanted for the car I thought it was a bit high too. But then I looked at what cars in comparable condition to this one with similar mileage were going for and it seemed to be right in the ballpark. (Plus the price is negotiable within reason) So many C-4 corvettes have been used as daily drivers and are already ragged out. This is a REALLY nice car that has led a pampered life . It's just the kind of car someone looking for a Vette would want. If I didn't already own so many cars myself (and also having a lack of funds for another) I'd buy it for myself.
