Default $25k for 03 Z06?

found a silver 03 Z06 with 41k miles for $25k...I'm not a noob when it comes to Vettes, but that seems like a steal to me. title is clean, car looks to be in A-1 shape. part of me thinks there must be a catch somewhere though. any ideas?

It's the off season right now, so prices are down and silver is one of the lower priced colors. Seems like a good deal, though.

Ya I'm actually looking to sell off my Audi to replace it with a C5 as my next DD sometime this year . I've been looking around a few forums and a lot of C5's are around 15-20k with reasonable miles, which is great for me!

I believe on here there is a 01 w/ 80,000 miles going for $22,800... very tempted to buy (lol), but I'm not spending more then 20k.

i looked at the car quickly about a week ago, and assumed it was an 01 because I didn't notice the 405HP badging under the Z06 emblems. I'm thinking it has been wrecked, but not hard enough to have a salvage title. it wasn't there yesterday, but I hope to take a good look at it today in the daylight
