Default Thinking about buying a C5 Z06

Well I'm thinking about getting a 2003 50th Anniversary Z06 from a dealership in Dallas. The dealership is asking 24k and it only has 74k miles so is this a good deal?

Not the best, but it's not bad. A friend of mine picked up an '03 Z06 with 35k on it for $25k from a dealership.

yeah I looked it up on kbb and nadaguides and it seems like a fair deal. Anyways anyone one got some suggested mods to do on it? I still have my Borla Stingers from my old C5 should I swap it out with the Stock TI's?

That's pretty good for an '03. I'd hold out for one with a few less miles for around the same price though.

thats alot of miles for 24k. I know where theres an Eblue 03 50th commemorative edition z06 for 30k with 31k miles. You could probably chew them down to 27ish.

Looks to be a good deal, but almost 60k on the car.

It's not a bad deal, but you could probably do a little better if you're patient.

I'm not a Corvette expert by any stretch, but wasn't 1953 the first production year for Vettes? I expect most would say yes to this, which raises the question with no PRODUCTION Vettes for 1984, since the 2004 was the 50th year of production and not be the 50th SEs?
