$18K sounds like a fine deal - especially if the mechanicals & frame check out in good condition
I got my C5 in march and have been a fan of your channel the whole time! I feel like I got a really good deal on mine because it was a high mileage car (150,000k) I was looking for a car in the 14-16K price range but I ended up finding my current car for 7 grand cash! So far its been a dream! Feels like she has another 100k in her easily.
I bought a C6 coupe last October from original owner, both tops, npp exhaust, 3 LT interior, atomic orange, black interior, 4064 miles, interior like new, just replaced the tires and wheels, Micheilin AS 4 and seven spoke chrome wheels (ZHZ) same as on the Hertz rental car . Paid $39500, not a scratch, chip, or any paint defects. Really enjoy your posts. Keep up the good work.
Its amazing the range of pricing on c6. As cheap as 10k all the way up to 75k+
Awesome videos. 26 and Just bought a 2008 C6 LS3 Coupe with 40,000 miles for $22,00 super excited
That's a lot of car for 18 grand! I'd say a great buy.
Been watching since before I bought my C5 a year and a half ago. Love the channel. The way you relay information is proper and very insightful.
Great video, I really like your pricing analysis. Thank you!
Always appreciate and impressed with ALL your hard work. You deserve 1M+ subscribers.
September 2022 I bought a 2009 Coup Victory Red, a black interior and automatic. I wanted an auto as I got over sticks in the 70's. I got her for birthday "65"! 57K in good condition. Paid $19,100.00 I have put about 3K into it, half on headlights. Daily driver for me. Love my Vette! Enjoy your videos! You do a great job with your videos! Thanks!
I think you got a good buy on it. A little higher miles but has nice mods and is in good condition.
Seems like a very fair deal. Close to impossible to get that good of a deal here in Western Pa. Prices are over the place. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the analysis. Now I know what to look for when buying one.
Very fair deal and a very nice car! Thanks for sharing. - Guys
I think your research paid off and you found yourself a beautiful specimen at a fair price. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, sounds like a good deal. My wife is wanting an automatic C6 now so this has been a timely video.

You got a good deal. I used basically the same method to purchase mine. Great video
