Default Wanted:C5Z06 in SoCal, silver, mods OK

Hi Guys,

Looking for a Z06 and have cash ready to spend. I'm in Orange County.

My Preferences:

  • Silver is first choice, then black, then blue
  • The lower miles the better, but more concerned with condition
  • A sharp set of wheels is a plus
  • I am not afraid of mods if they are conservative and well executed
  • Needs to be a California car and can pass visual smog test. I am not connected with the shops and have no way to work around that.
  • Will be a daily driver, so should be well maintained, which most seem to be since they are an enthusiast car.
My range is $18-$21 depending on the car.

Any feedback on this? Am I in about the right range price-wise? I see some on the forum I would have been very interested in but the ads are old. It's all about timing. I just need to find the right one for me and it will be a long-term keeper!

There are a few on Craig's List but none really click.

Thanks!

Bump...

Silver or black. I've been watching Craig's List and this forum. Where else should I be looking?

Thanks!!

Nothing?

Still looking. I sure love the CCW Classics. They look so good on a Z06.

No worries, when the right one comes along, I'm ready.

There are several great options, but all in yellow. Just not my color, but some really nice cars on the market!

Bump until I buy a car!

I know of a great car in the LA area...2004 Black Z06 with 21k miles. Your expectation of $19-21k to get a car in the condition you want is not realistic. You can expect to pay in the mid/upper 20k range for a well maintained pristine low mileage car. Contact number for this car is 703-338-5316.

Hi PAVette,

Thanks for the reply! To clarify, I am not expecting low miles. 75K - 90K is fine, I'm more concerned about the condition. As I have been looking quite a bit I think my budget range should get a nice car. I've seen lots I'd love to own, but they are out of state or yellow. I'm just watching for the right combo. Timing is the key. I'm not looking to spend in the upper 20s.

Thanks again!! Appreciate any leads.

Still looking. The market seems pretty slow. Not a lot of new cars coming on the market, and those that are for sale seem to stay available for a long time.

Silver or black Z06 wanted in SoCal!

Anybody with an older ad here that needs to refresh it? I've searched pages and pages.

I have my 2004 machine silver above. I'm in south San Diego though. Price negotiable. I'm holding off on the smog at the moment, not sure if it will sell fast or in 6 months. It will pass smog. Wheels are stock.

Hi PR1AWRet, thanks for the reply and I'll connect with you over PM. I'll send you my email address for picts. It's so hard to view pictures on Photobucket these days because of the ads everywhere.
