All 2003 Corvettes had 50th anniversary on the nose and deck!!Don't matter if it was a Z06,Convertible,or Targa Top! 50th Anniversary Limited Edition's Coups or Convertibles were ALL Anniversary Red with Special Embroidered Interior and no other color!!

Not sure if you've made the decision to buy the Spiral Gray coupe, but I'd shop around a bit more. As others said, it is definitely a buyer's market now, and you're likely to find one for that kind of money but with much lower mileage. We just sold an '03 50th Anniversary Special Edition coupe with only 10k miles and a 6-speed for $27,900. Also, the 50th Anniversary models (Special Edition) will always bring more in a trade, as do other special anniversary models (25th, 40th). Something to think about.

Let us know how you make out.

Beautiful car!

How much did you pay for it?

I am in the market for a similar car right now.

Was it from a dealer or a private seller?

 

[cscarlson]

I paid 23,000.. from an individual..... it booked at 27,500

I am looking at this car right now, which is 13 miles away from me at a dealership. 2003 Spiral Grey, 6 speed, heads up, with 19k miles:

Cars For Sale: Car Details - AutoTrader.com

When I do a Kelley Blue Book report on it, I get a value of $22k under "Good Condition".

Not sure who told you it was worth 27.5k?

 

[cscarlson]

Y
The bank bluE booked it.. different parts of the country depends on the value

 

[GS Diva]

Use NADA (www.nada.com) for a reasonable price comparison. That's what banks use for loans.

Here is an ad from local car listing, I think this price is about what one should pay for a limited Edition 50th. I took out sellers info as not to brake any board rules. I think the info posted by Junk and myself represents a more correct value. As to the 03 Spiral Gray, it looks like a beautiful car. Congratulation and many years of joy driving it. The true value can only be assessed by you and what it is worth to you. Again congratulation.
