Hey guys, I'm currently in the process of buying a 01-04 zo6.. This has been my wish for many many years!!! Well Im in the hunting process now, and was wondering what to expect for 20,000.00 range? I really need to stay in this range for now, with having 3 kids, and a wife, and this just really being a toy for weekend fun.. Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated !!


Thanks
Bill

Only if someone is desperate, at least in my area. Most 30-35K mileage Z06s are between 23-26K in the Atlanta area. However, different areas have different prices. Value is relative to supply and demand.

That being said to the OP, you should definitely be able to find a Z06 in good shape for 20K. Probably will be just north of 50K miles on average.

I agree.If you can travel it would open up the search area.Remember to budget for TTT and try to find one with recently install tires.My best advice is be patient and while you are looking do plenty of research,Google is your friend.

Thanks guys for your responses... Ive been looking at a 500 mile radius or so from the Cincinnati area, and it seems that most are in the south, and south west... I don't mind traveling, but hate to go so far to find that the car is junk... I really don't want to go over 60,000 miles or so, and really not over picky on color, just want a nice clean car..

I want to thank everyone here that has responded!!!! Man you all are one awesome group of people!! My search is still on, and I really want one by August.. I have been looking at autotrader a lot. Is there other websites that may have more to pick from? sorry for all the questions. I just want to find the right car, because I don't ever plan to get rid of it.. Thanks

Hi Bill. I just found my "new" z06 last week and thought I would share this car that ran across my search.

I did not go look at the car but seems to be a good deal with the lower miles

Either way good luck with your search!
