Not enough details or any pictures to really assess the car but, theoretically, $20k is certainly not too much based on what is known so far.

Agreed.

Problem now is a may be worth the price they are asking, but, they ain't selling. Lots of cars are priced "right" compared to even 6 months ago but lots are sitting longer.

If this is a solid solid car in good shape I'd say it's worth it and may sell quickly.

Car looks nice. $20k is a good price (very good price in some regions) in the current market for the specs and car in question (assuming it doesn't have any serious mechanical issues upon inspection).

Just an FYI but some portion of the exhaust is also not stock. I can see that the tips have been changed, but not sure how much else was also modified based on those pictures. Not necessarily a problem, just wanted to make sure you're aware.

These are "Nitch" vehicles, they never caught on and the blue book values reflect that. Is 20K too much to pay for the vehicle? ABSOLUTLEY!!!!, however the correct question to ask (IMHO) is "how much is the vehicle worth to me?", if you like it, buy it, it is NOT an investment vehicle.
JMHO, please don't kill the messenger.

He bought the car last year. February 2023.
Never caught on?? I disagree. The nice ones are worth good $$$. The comments I just received on a 1,200 miles trip were endless. I will agree with you about an investment but he didn't ask.

These cars are appreciating faster and above cars that cost more when they were new.

Take a look at any 2001-2004 Z06 and even 2006-2008 Z06's. The base model Corvettes as well. Sure they cost more when new.

Not now. They are one of the few late model General Motors cars that are a bright spot.

That was a great buy. Enjoy it.

Yes sir, I am sure that you have got a lot of positive comments on your vehicle. Below is a picture of Sara (2001 Z28), she is kept garaged and covered, she has 64k original miles and has been over maintained. I submitted her to the "Kelly blue book" site, and answered all the questions honestly and asked them for a quote of what the vehicle is worth, today I received the answer $9,920. Sara has never been in an accident, has the original paint and is pristine (with a few very minor rock chips in her hood). My point is, unless you are looking for that specific of a vehicle, the bulk of the people do not want it. THE NICE ONES ARE WORTH DOLLARS ONLY TO THE PEOPLE WHO WANT THEM. I would never sell Sara for any amount of money.

^^ Sara is a beauty! KBB hasn't had a clue in years. $9,920?? That's laughable and I would have thought they would wait for April Fool's to send that quote back to you.
Many years ago when I owned an air cooled 911 they would consistently be about $10k under what an actual sales price would be.The owners in the Porsche forum would always say, "I'll take a dozen at that price.". I would say the same thing about your Sara. I should almost check KBB now to see if they are still worth $25k+ when real world prices have skyrocketed to $65k and up, again for the nice ones..

Thank you for the kind words. I was just trying to make a point on the vehicles worth.
