$1,850 or $18,500?
NADA showing that coming in at $21775 for clean trade in. A car like this you can't go by book value. This is a MARKET value car. The dealer wants to steal it, so they can put it on the lot for over book and justify the price by saying...'This is a local, low mileage, never raced or driven hard ANNIVERSARY edition Corvette...where are you gonna find another one? This is a rare gem'...and sell it for $27,500. I've been in sales at a stealership for 3 years, I know how they operate, which is why I'm not there anymore. I don't believe in that system.
Sell it yourself out right. As you know, you'll be able to get way more out of it than the dealer will ever give you for it.
This opinion does NOT include specialty dealers that deal in high end cars. They treasure these cars, they are their business, value them accordingly, and have the clientele to match . Joe Loser down at Johnny's Used Car's and your general stealerships come across a jewel like this, and all they see is $$ signs. Don't even get me started!!
Dealer offered me 15,000.00 trade for my very very clean 04 coupe with 61,000 miles. I told him to take a hike!
We just sold a 98 convertible with 30k miles for $15,000.00. There's a big difference between what a magazine says they're worth and what people will actually pay.
