Did I get a good deal on this 2008 Z06?
I bought this on ebay yesterday. A silver 2008 Z06 with 2LZ, 3LZ, Nav and polished wheels. These are over $78k new.
The price was just too attractive to refuse. What do you guys think?

Unfortunately, I've been banned from E-bay. I ordered a $15 computer plug a number of years ago and forgot to pay for it. I've been banned since. I don't mind. If I had E-bay access, I might be declaring bankruptcy about now.....

First, it's used. It has 911 miles from the original owner. Second, what the heck is 2LZ/3LZ. It's either or, not both. Third, it's either got a Nav with 1 CD, or Bose Premium with 6 CDs, not both. I would get that straightened out before I sent them a dime.
A used '08 with 911 miles, 3LZ, Nav for $68 sounds good. Of course, there's a note on the car, so you won't get title until after 14 days have passed since you've sent them clear funds. Dunno. It smells fishy.

Hope this is not giving you a jinx - but '08's will, and do, sell for more than this (even with 900 miles).
Reading through the listing there appaear to be some confusion, on their part, describing exactly what is on the Vette.
Ask a GM dealer to give you the Vehicle History (can be done by supplying the VIN) - check out options AND the history (make SURE this is not a 'fixed' Z06).
I do hope this is a great buy for you

This guy is about 30 mins down the road from me and has sold a few cars such as that. He is a middleman though. There is a really rich guy that has just about every other toy you can imagine that buys them, gets bored with them, and then uses this guy to sell them for him.
I was beat out on the last one he had by a guy up in Ohio who tried to sell the car within a month or so of owning it.
Everything seemed legit though.

I was going to bid on that car but when the seller did not reply to two messages I sent regarding the GMAC lien on the title, and then, when it didn't sell the first time he listed, he added the extra item(3LZ) to the discription on top of the incorrect info about the NAV with the 6 disc CD changer, I didn't like what I saw. I hope you don't get screwed.

3LZ's were on constraint until very recently, only a few have been built.
Good luck and let us know if you get the car and the title for that price.

It can't possibly be a 3LZ. You can even see the pics it's not a 3LZ. I don't like sellers that don't know what they are selling, regardless of the "deal".Otherwise it sounds awesome. Anyway if you decide you don't like it you can easily claim the car was misrepresented.

The invoice(Edmunds) for this car would have been ~$67,612 so you paid ~$265 over invoice for the car. New '08 Z06's can be bought for about $4,500-$5,000 off MSRP(have you checked with any of the forum supporting dealers), which would have been $75795 for this car. So, you saved about $2400-$2900 buying used instead of new. Not a bad deal, but not near what you believed you were getting. Before you pay any money, I would suggest you get the GMAC loan number and talk to GMAC about the payoff. See if you can pay the loan off directly to GMAC and have them send you the title. The seller might be a straight up person, but you are also dealing with the owner(who owes GMAC the money) of the car in addition to the eBay seller. You can't be to careful.

If the pictures are really from that Z it is a 2LZ with memory and heated seats. The Nav is also in the dash picture so it should be a teriffic buy at that price. Just be careful as the others advised and get a GM dealer Vin check for service history, verify it is not a buy back or wrecked car.
