I am not affiliated with or know this dealership. Just thought this was a great deal. I would be all over this if I had not just bought mine..

I just find it hard to swallow spending $80K for a used vehicle and especially one that will be two years old in a couple of months. The fact that it has had two owners in 2700 miles might be an indicator of something. I'm guessing others may just look at what the original MSRP was and see it as a good deal, as it is quite a bit off of that price.

It's not really that great a deal...two owners and almost 3k miles for $80k. Only options listed are 3LZ, carbon roof and comp seats. There's a stinger stripe in the pic which is $500. So sticker when new was about $89k. Used with those options as a 2015, I wouldn't pay over $75k.

Putting it in perspective, I just got a brand new 2016 2LZ with PDR, Comp seats, and stage 2 aero for low 80s.

The price could be lower but worrying about the two owner thing is BS. Read the report and you see why it has two owners. One person purchased the car and didn't drive it far enough to put 500 miles on it. That owner didn't have enough miles on the car to know if there was a problem with it or not. I put more miles on my Z06 in the first week than that owner did in 8 months. 471 miles over 8 months means the car sat almost all of the time. The second owner put the miles on the car over a couple of month period. There are no reports of dealer service activity besides normal maintenance. $80K for the car 7 months ago would have been a good deal now the price has to drop some even though it is prime Corvette buying time due to the time of the year. I paid $90.5K for my new 15 Z06 that had a 105.5K sticker price at the end of November. Its book value right now is right around $80K.

I've been watching this car....as it's local, but it's also Reserve Not Met, so who knows. On their website, they are asking $77k for it which is too high for me for that car. I ran a carfax on it and it has 2 previous owners, but the first owner had it listed as a commercial vehicle in Mississippi. Not sure what that means, but it has me cautious for sure.

Assuming 2 owners and low mileage is some sort of quality security is foolish. Plenty of vettes get wrecked in the first week of ownership. Avoid a police report, take it to your buddy's body shop, and suddenly your Carfax stays clean. I'd be highly suspect of this car.

That is how I feel also. $80K is a lot to pay for what "might" or "might not" be a problem.

You guys are starting to sound like Ferrari owners.

If you do your homework, you could get a similarly equipped new Z06 for only a couple thousand more. So, it's an Okay deal, but not "great" IMO.

I test drove this z06 when it was for sale @ audinorthatlanta. It looks like it has been jumping from dealer to dealer according to my Goggle searches. I had it for an extended test drive for about 3 hours. It looks in very good condition, but I am not an expert. It has Comp seats, Exposed Carbon Fiber roof, PDR, CF dash. It is a 3lz. They were asking $84,500 when I did the test drive. It was sold at an auction according to the car report. According to CAR Fax, all the owners were from Georgia. It has everything I want on a Z, but I did not negotiated because the wife does not want a M7. I hope this helps someone looking at it.
