not necessarily, there are deals to be had out there.....could have just been someone needing cash fast, and selling it for less to move it quickly.

i got my Z28 on 6/24/04 with 11,706 miles, and only paid $16,700 for it.....and that was almost 4 years ago....car was in perfect condition, not a scratch on it, seats/interior were perfect, drivetrain flawless.

carfax dosnt catch everything, my camaro i have VERY good reason to believe it was in a head on colision as the impact bar was poorly painted silve (the original color was starting to flake off showing red, also alot of the nuts that hold panels and the latch and stuff like that show marks that tools were on them (edges of the nuts are alittle rounded

so dont always go by carfax alone....

gahhh, i got my 2000 non WS6 with 72k miles on it for $11.5 a year ago...crack on door panel, i do believe it's been in a wreck, the hatch has been repainted cuz u can tell, and the roof panel *between the t-tops and hatch* has a paint flaw on it barely noticable....I made a mistake by not getting a history report on it...My 98 Formula was rear ended and totalled and I got the check and wanted another f-body asap..ehhhhh....
Ohh well
