Same price, 30,000 less miles.....

I personally not $1,000 off the price for each 15,000 miles . so I wouldn't pay more than $18,500

Agreed. I think 18-18.5k is spot on. The mileage inconsistency is unfortunate because it looks like some idiot at the dealer fat fingered a keystroke. And that's only if it's actually as clean as it appears in the pictures. Black on black is a winner though.

You haven't seen the car, or even talked in depth to the seller. You know nothing about the car. Even at $18.5K, I don't think it is a great deal. I saw a clean 2009 this week online with about 105K miles, and it was $19K.

Don't be in such a rush. check cargurus and cars.com. Do a nationwide search. You will be surprised at what is available.

Me, personally... I saw this ad and immediately passed on it. Probably 23,000 RACING miles.

(Just my guess - no input from seller)

Okay, i wondered with the short ad and the pics of the bars in the back of it. Thanks a lot, i'm not up much on the road course racing set ups since we don't have a road course track here in TX only the Texas Motor Speedway.

Just last weekend I went 1500 miles away to get mine and enjoyed every minute of the drive back home. Good luck and have fun.

I wouldn't worry about miles if you check out the car thoroughly. LS2 is a 5000 hour engine and if maintenance has been kept up the car could go 300k mi. I wanted a C6 vert, but barely had C5 non vert money. Found an 05 silver vert with 193k that as really nice that I could afford. I've had the car for a few months and put 2500+ miles on it so far and aside from one air pressure sensor the car has ran flawlessly. It has every option, It doesn't rattle, smoke, show any fault on DIC, it tracks like its on rails and brakes are smooth. Got a car fax with it and it was maintained at a Chevy dealer its whole life where it had things like harmonic ballencer replaced and trans fluid flushed and replaced at 178k, so it's rare in that case. 100k is not high mileage for a 10 year old car. Mileage will affect resale and you cannot finance a car with over 125k, some banks 100k. Don't settle for a second choice over 30k miles.

found z06 for 22k but it seems like scam check it out:
part 1:hank you for your interest in my 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the price is $22,000.
It’s in perfect condition, always garaged, no known problems, everything works as it should. Title is clear.
I'm selling the car for this price because I'm a sergeant in the United States Army and I’ve been sent to United Kingdom, Europe due to the refugees and migrants problem and I’ll stay here (in United Kingdom) for at least 1 year, so it has to go, unfortunately.

At the moment, the car is in storage in North Dakota.

Let me know if you’re interested so I can send you more photos and work out the details. I'm responsible for shipping, delivery and handling to your location in any U.S. state.
Of course you can choose not to buy the car if you do not like it. If is not as presented, would be within your rights to refuse the deal.
As I’m deployed overseas in United Kingdom I don't have access to a phone all the time so feel free to email me any questions you may have.
The deal will be done through Titan Auto 3PL Logistics. They will manage the sale on my behalf and act as third party so we can be both protected. They will pick up the car from the storage unit, ship it to your address and transfer the ownership. It’s in excellent condition. They have the title, keys and power of attorney. Everything is set on my end.

Your payment will go directly to Titan Auto 3PL Logistics, they will hold the funds in escrow until you receive and inspect the car. You will have a 5 days inspection period. If you like it, they will transfer the ownership to you and pay me; if not, you can reject the car. In this case Titan Auto 3PL Logistics will refund your money and pick it up from you. The price includes shipping cost within US.

If you want to buy it, let me know your name and address, and I will provide you the website and the reference number for it so you can start the buying process.

I attached the requested pictures.
Thank you

3 part Yevgenij,
Titan Auto 3PL Logistics will guide you through the process and give you all the the shipping and payment details.
They will deliver the car at your house shipping is included. As I said before, you will have a 5 days inspection period. If you like the car, they will transfer the ownership to you and pay me, if you will refuse the car they will refund you in full and I will pay the shipping back.

Your money stays in the escrow bank account from the company, in this way I can be sure that I have a serious buyer and I don't pay the shipping and papers for nothing, and you have control of your money.
I need your confirmation that we have a deal, because I will have to pay the Titan Auto 3PL Logistics fees in order to start the transaction and give you the the reference number.

You can find more about them on Google: Titan Auto 3PL Logistics.
Here are some reviews from different costumers:
http://frontrange-4x4-forum-forumdis...community.org/

http://hipforums-com-hipforumship-ch...0Room%202.html

Everything is set on my end just email me back with your confirmation so we can get started.

Gee, sling, maybe it's the presence of a roll bar and cage that turns some folks off.....you really think that is a good choice as a first vette for a new owner????


Okay, the price is fair, but amateur racing miles are a killer. Who is going to buy that car other than another amateur racer? And what is he going to do with it? Tear it up, of course. I doubt that car will sell until it hits about $13K...just my opinion.
