I don't know about the price but if you want an electron blue don't settle for anything else. You wait long enough and look in enough places you'll get it eventually. Usually when people settle for what they don't really want they end up regretting it.

The white one's a good buy. Speedway white is highly sought after since there were 352 SW Z06's ever made http://www.idavette.net/facts/2001endpro.htm. $28k for 6k miles is very decent. The red 03 with 36k miles is about $2k too high on his price. I personally wouldn't spend more than $34,000 on it.

man I would jump all over that white one.... like a horny ape in a zoo!!!!!...... I paid 25k for my 99frc w/ just under 9k on it and it was owned by an old man and taken very good care of...... if I would have found that z06 for 3k more and ONLY 6k miles..... I would get her in a second..... I would much perfer a lower mileage car rather than more hp or right color.... you know you'll get that much more fun out of the machine..... and for the price you could still get some good mods in for a few grand......... have fun w/ whatever you get.... but please get that white one before I look for it just cause its a friggen killer deal........

I paid $32,500 for my '02 Z06 two months ago. It had 24,000 miles on it. It to is in great condition, but right now it is torn down to the engine block and waiting for cam and heads to be put on it.

White Z in a heart beat! 34k is a a bit high. 32k is a decent price on the 03 with 36k miles out of warranty.

I paid 26k for my 2000 with 11k miles, one owner car. When you're ready, you'll find the "right" car at the right price.

I was in the same position. I was looking for a 01-02 Z06 and I wanted M. yellow with less than 20,000 miles. I passed on a lot of different cars because of miles, price and color. It took me about a month and a half, but I came up with a 2002 Yellow with only 11,000 miles, it's completely stock. Looks and drives like new. I paid $32,500. If you want electron blue, pass on these, there are a lot of cars out there and if your patient it will be worth it. I passed on a 15k mile red 02 for 33k, and I thought I made a mistake until I found this one. Keep looking you'll find a blue one for the right price.

Yeah the white one is a great deal! I would go for that one... I paid about $500 less for mine but mine had more miles and that was the best deal around at the time.
Go for it and don't look back

i would say the price for the 01' is fair(especially b/c its very rare, it's the only year they made white z06's), but ive seen them for 25k before(not white)36k is a little high for the 03'.

My '03 cost me $39,900 in July of last year. It had ~20K miles on it. So, $36K almost a year later for higher mileage? No way. You can definitely find better deals out there. I've had my '03 for almost a year now, and it still has under 25K miles. I'd be very lucky to get more than $34-35K for it.

$28K for an '01 sounds about right. That's a great deal, though, considering the low miles.

Damn that's too bad, but maybe you will know soon if white is in your future. I don't think I have ever seen a white one, but I think that I would definitely like that look. Also, don't feel bad, I paid $52.3K for mine in 2003. The saving grace is that it is also a 50th Anniversary and the price should hit rock bottom and level off someday lol!

Don't sit and wait on his Vette. Keep looking casually. I bet there are a lot of Z06s going up for sale.
