Hey guys,
I am new to the forum and a new owner of a 2004 z06. I just bought it over the weekend.

I bought the car for $22,000.00
2004, titanium yellow with 46K.

Overall condition is good.

I thought it was a fair price. Your opinion?

Thank you.
One thing I forgot to asked (stupid me!) is the steering column lock issue if it was fixed by previous owner.

Looks great. I bought mine with about the same miles, same price. Have fun, careful with your right foot.
Where do you hail from (previous cars)?

Ask any C5Z owner, and he'll say, "You got a steal". But I'm not prejudiced too much... Great car, and Grats! PS, thought it was millineum yellow, but maybe they changed the shade in '04...

Nice purchase! Welcome.

As a 14yr owner, I can tell you I enjoy my car as much as I did the first day I drove it off the showroom floor.

Have fun!

Congrat's! Great looking car- private party sale? That's a great price. And Pounder is right- if you do not have an LMC5 installed, that s/b on the 'to do" list asap. Great forum anything and all that is Vette related....

It would appear that you did great! Beautiful car and love the color. The other day I made a comment that went "nothing like a yellow vette coming down the road on a sunny day". I think I'll stay with that. Good luck and best wishes to you and your new Z!
