money is high for a z28- even thought it has low miles. If it were a SS or WS.6 I wouls still say it is high.

On the other hand you know who has had the car and the history which is a definate added plus, and worth it.

I say go for it, you will fall in love with it.

I think that is a very good price. I paid 19.5 for my SS and it had 10k miles on it. Good luck with the car man.

A car is worth as much as someone is willing to pay.

And if you are happy with the price and the car.

Have fun!

I almost feel bad buying it from him, but i know he wont wait long before he gets another car (vette or 03 cobra) and winter is coming so he wouldnt be driving it anyway. God i cant wait to bang some gears with that 6sp

That is kinda high for a z28 even with those mods. If you feel like you are going to keep the car for a while and it is truly worth it then I say go for it.

Get it man. Look on the bright side you don't have to do any mods unless you want a turbo or something

buying from a relative sucks!.....unless it is a really low price.

I bought a car from my brother for a buck. I think he ripped me off too. It was a twelve year old station wagon that died on me before a year.

Very nice car! You should know what kind of shape its in.

$15000 is a little on the high side IMO though!
