Default Is this a good price for a used 2015 z06?

Looks like a 1lz with z07 option.

That link goes to a 3lz w/ z07. IMO, not a bad deal for 4k miles but like with any car buying, especially used, there is definitely wiggle room. I'd say maybe 3-5K at least but it just depends what they paid for it on trade.

On a car lot your best time to buy a car is the last day r 2 of the month, Like the other guy has said what true $$$ do they have in it, Plus how long have they had it on the lot..

But go talk to them and give them a crazy offer like 10,k lower than they are asking, then work from that with them for cash at this moment thing.. Robert

I thought it was a 1lz by the description at the end

"Navigation System, Preferred Equipment Group 1LZ"

Wonder if they just did a cut paste and messed up. I wonder which it is?

I appreciate the advice!

Leather in the photos looks like Mulan, which is a 1 or 2lz. If it is 1lz with added nav and the Z07 package I would say that it is over priced. New would be somewhere in the 85-86k range, if it is a 3lz then the price is more reasonable for the equipment package. A new 1lz stickers for $80,900 +/- a couple bucks 3lz is near $90,000 with out any other options, add Z07 and you are in the $105,000 range.
As mentioned before start low and see what they say. But by all means go look at the car and pay attention to the interior, if the leather is smooth then it is a 3lz, has pebble grain then it is a 1 or 2lz. Also check the tires, they aren't cheap and with 4k on them they could easily be shot.
Be sure to test drive it and listen for any odd sounds in the suspension, ask for the service records, if they don't have them get the vin and have them pulled for you. Also check the rotors for chips, cracks or hot spots, they are really expensive to replace.

All the above cautions are good advice, but the one that is critical imo is the IVH/VIS report which lists any warranty, tsb, repairs. It's a free report from any gm dealer svce dept and even vendors on here like gene culley at cultrag. I'd get it mainly to see if there are any powertrain warranty blocks (unlikely, but definitely a significant consideration).

Also maybe I missed it in the blurb, but this is a Chev. dealer, and so why is there no CPO (certified pre-owned) on the car? That would further protect you from the above in the event there ever is any controversy re powertrain.

Otherwise, if it is a 3LZ it seems like a good price but one that's negotiable. I doubt if you'll ever find out what the dealer has in the car, i.e., what they paid for it probably in trade-in.

Awesome advice.

Looks like it was titled in warren, mi which is where the tech center is. Auctioned in april of this year. Was a fleet vehicle. Does this mean it was driven by an exec or a proving grounds car?

/Could be exec or manager level in one of Gm'S offices nearby. Doubt it was a test vehicle. And Doug's (z51vett) info above is good, too.

Nice looking car and if I had to guess, I'd say it was an exec car or manager car as mentioned above. Look it over carefully - sometimes those type of cars are not given the best of care. I picked up an exec driven 2014 vert from an auction for my local dealer and it had numerous appearance flaws on it, including peeling chrome wheels. The car only had 8K miles on it.

This car is actually pre production for '15. Vin says its car number 20. Does that mean they take more care in building it? Or do they beat it to death testing?

A 3lz with Z07 package for 84k seems like a good deal!! I just put an order in for a 17' Z06 with the Z07 package and it was $106k. $84k is a good deal. You might be able to bring it down a little bit.

dealer doesn't want cash, they want to finance you. they make money on "back end" often more than they make on "front end"
