Default 2003 z06?

Came across a 03 Z06, yellow/black with 85k on it. It looks like the exterior is in pretty good shape, let's call it an 8.5/10. Interior is good, some seat wear, but no tears and bolster is above average, I'd say. Only mod is corsa exhaust.

It's priced at $21.2k, but I think he's got some flexibility.

Clean/clear title, no accidents, clean carfax.

When I was looking last year you could find one of the first couple of years of the Z06 (395/405 hp) for lower $20's with 25K-35K miles. I wouldn't want to spend $21K for a car with 85K on it, regardless of how clean it was. How about $17K to $18K? For $21K I'd sort of expect a car with 55K or less miles, and preferably under 45K miles. Some good prices on autotrader such as a dealer owned 18K mile Millen. yellow 2002 for $23K. I'd stick with lower mile versions rather than ones close to 100K if only for the resale in the event you get tired of it.

Is it just me, or does it seem that the 02-04 zo6 is kind of on an uptick?

Even the 01s that I have seen local are selling for high teens, even low 20s with low miles.

He said hi bottom cash price is $19k.

I've been looking on CF and it seems like the Zs are either really low mileage or really high mileage.

If that's the case then spend the extra $3K and get a car with 25K-40K miles....a good deal for that very reasonable premium. For up to 90K miles the price range should be $16K-$19K. So that seller is at the very top of the range. There are a number of them priced in the $16K, $17K, and $18K range so I think those at $19K+ with >80K miles are gonna sit. There are dealers selling comparable cars for <$19K.

If you really wanted the car I'd go over there with 17 in cash and see what happens. cash makes a lot of peoples phone bottom dollar go way lower. just be careful carrying that much money around.

That is exaclty what I had in mind. Only caveat is that he is about 3.5 hours each way. By the pics, I really don't think I'd have any issues w/ the car, so I may just have to suck it up. Maybe I'll wait a few weeks, then roll down there.
