They have it listed as "gold" but isn't this Mineral Gray?

Clicky

That's what it looks like to me. Dealers often get things wrong.

What's wrong with the car? Doesn't $13.5K sound too good to be true for a 2005 Premium GT with only 30K miles?

That dealer also has some Corvettes listed 10k+ under blue book for their year and mileage, unless they're in terrible condition (which they don't look to be)

Notice the front lower grill is missing. That tells me something, I just don't know what.
The price does seem a bit low, but new ones can be had for a bargain, so who knows.

That doesnt look quite like mineral grey. The front end does tell a story
with the missing grill..... probably a dealer who gets cars from auctions.

when i first pulled up the pic it looks like legend lime for a split sec but if i would to take a guess it would be mineral grey or that alloy color that they discontinued in 07 i think. Not sure completely.

Looks like Legend Lime to me.
I would pass on the car though.

Defintiely Mineral Grey. Troubling that the lower grille is missing. If you aren't stuck on the mineral grey color then I would pass. If you really like mineral grey, maybe look around to see if you can find a comporable one with a lower grille.

It depends how many settings that cell phone camera has. Sheesh. You'd think dealers just discovered the internet last week. Between these sites and sneaky entries on the "by owner" section of Craigslist, most dealerships invoke a little more avarice from me every day.

It is always amazing to me how little dealers know about their own products. Give them an ipad, make wi-fi available on the lot and they could at least look up answers to questions potential buyers might have. They could at least get the colors right.
If I were the dealer, I would replace that lower grille. The cost is very little and would eliminate many potential questions from knowledgeable buyers.
I have had dealers call and ask me questions about Mustangs.
Why they can't just look it up is beyond me.

So true. One of my room mates works for Carmax and knows so much about every car on the lot. But that's because he's a car guy. The way I see it, if you can't get excited about your own stuff, you should find something else to sell.
