I got my 01 Z for $18,000 at 59,000 miles. 01's always sell for a little less.

prices are all over the map. watch the market for at least 6 months before you buy. ebay completed, on here, CL, try and ask where cars actually trade hands. most the nice stuff is 15k and up. occasionally you can find a nice highway mile car for less but you also have to consider the fix it budget, brakes, shocks, fluids, cooling system etc. valve springs. all that

25k would get you a mint car and cover the age updating expenses along with new tires

if possible get an 04

depends on where the car is from. i would never buy a midwest car with 100k that was driven year round. the west coast on the other hand? no problem. my last z06 was extremely nice for the miles and lived in seattle and portland it's whole life

salt, road conditions, how the owner operated it. all that stuff comes into play
