Sounds high to me. I bought an 03Z with less miles bone stock for about $25 (which was also pretty high). I guess if it's worth it to you, do it. But I'd say no more than $23K if I were buying it.

I really depends on the car right now this isnt a good time of the year to be selling corvette but the market on corvette forum is basing the C5Zs with anywhere from 20 thousand to 50 thousand miles in the 22-25k range. I bought my 02 last year for 22k with 40 thousand on the od. I would think about selling my car now with all the work done for right around 24 range with 45k on it. The price is definitely in the range of what these cars seem to be bringing right now I do believe for a bone stock Z you should be able to get a few grand off in own opion but if its a car you really like then go for it. It would be a would of change from a SS I know it was for me just from a regular C5. Insurance is rough on me because I'm 24 even though its not my primary driver I think I pay around 2k a year. Best of luck and keep us posted
