Default Found an 03 z06

Car is brand new basically. Only 13k miles on it, black on black with chrome z06 wheels and the corsa exhaust. Place i saw wants 34k for it. Is that a good price, or do you guys think i can talk the place down?

Ive been a mustang guy for quite a while, but i just like the way that black z06 looks. I like the fact that they are really light as well (performance wise). I wouldnt do much mod wise as I would like to keep this my daily driver (maybe just long tubes).

Good deal or what?

Thanks in advance

I think it's a good deal at $31-32K. By the time summer rolls around that car will be marked up to $35K.

I've seen a few 03's with about 25k miles for 30-32k. Me personally not much difference in those 8-14k miles but some people want the extremely low mile cars. Still I'd try and talk them down to 32k + tax and titles.

That is excellent mileage, I would shoot to knock off 1-2K, but if they dont want to budge look for another one with 20K miles and you'll be right in the 32k price range. Then go Vararam and exhaust and you'll be flying.

Sounds like a good price depending on the part of the country you live in.

That is a good deal. I got mine a couple years ago for $34k and 8400 miles, but had a '97 coupe for trade in also. Went to buy a new C6 then saw this beauty for 20k cheaper, and faster, so the rest is history. They will allways come down a bit, so it sounds like a good deal if ya want to fanagle.

Got it for 32,500.

Love the car. Glad i bought it. I agree it is more then just a car.

Not as fast as my cobra, but it rides so much nicer then the cobra. I have no plans to change it. Want to keep it completely stock.

Ya, i remember you. Good times man. I see you modded your vette some since our last run in

My frigging starter took a crap in the cobra, so I thought to myself, "Self, you would look good in a corvette. Lets find one!"

So i did.

You were good motivation to go faster! That pony car of yours is bad A$$. Let me know if you have any questions about your new toy. You should at least get a dyno tune from Jeremy formatto. I saw a guy pick up 25rwhp in a stock c5 z06. Besides, don't you want to know what you car is doing stock???? Maybe you have a really strong motor! hahaha, the fun begins!
