Silver I think is the best deal 21k for 27, thats a real good deal I think. Although the yellow one for 30 too would be a steal

I think the silver one is the best deal.

When you guys sell stuff do you even entertain people who make offers 5k off what you are asking? I think those prices are resonable, so you should make a reasonable offer.

i wont sell you anything...

but honestly, people selling these cars, or any cars for that matter, are expecting to be low balled. so they purposly bump up what they want for the car for the negotiation process.... dealers do the same thing, im sure you know that...

silver is your best deal espically if you get it down to 24ish
but if your not modding it remeber the 01 zo6's were the low power ones with the smaller cam
yellow will get you noticed alot more
as for the black its low miles but id say 20-22ish plus its an auto
