Default to z06 or not to z06

Hey guys I need some persuasion. I Came across this small car dealer that has a 2001 Millenium Yellow Z06 with 2000 miles on it. It also has about 5 grand in sterio equipment inside. It belongs to the owner of the car dealership and he's selling it. They want $43,000 for the car, which I thought was a good price, but what do I know.

They are offering me a trade in value of my 2001 NBM WS6 Vert with 20,000 miles on it for $24,000 which I have paid off.

What kind on deal would I be getting, if any?

Thanks, Tim

39K-43K is the selling range I have seen - depending on milage and condition; I say it "could" be worth it. But i would work'em down to 41K just to be safe..

Well you also have to consider if the 5k of stereo equipment is worth it to you. If so it could be a great deal. The trade is on your WS6 sounds fair as well. I say go for it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Dude, I'd go for it. That sounds like a really good deal especially the yellow color.. I'm pretty sure those are rare.

You could be rolling a Z06 this summer.. <img border="0" alt="[Z06 Corvette]" title="" src="graemlins/z06.gif" />

Thanks for all the replys guys, I've almost got the guy down to around $41,000.... I think I'm going to go for it... I'll post pics when I get the Z06... Again thanks for all the suggestions. I'll miss my WS6 though, it's been a great car.

You may want to hold out for a used 2002 Z. 20 more hp too. Good luck! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
