Help decision, quick!
OK, found a 2002 EB Z06 with 3800 miles on it, got the guy down to 36.5k... I also made an offer on a 2003 with 1400 miles on it, told the guy 37k and I'll buy his over the one in AZ....
thoughts? on each price?

haha.. yeah, I want the 03 more, but it all depends on whether he takes 37k for it... its listed at a dealer for 42, he quoted me 39.9 last night without me even making an offer, so I called him back and gave him the figure of 37k or i walk... I am waiting, its been 30 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!
I just called back and receptionist said, "hes waiting to hear back from the GM" hell call yoU!!
meanwhile, this guy in AZ is waiting for my call, I already got the 36.5 deal made with him, its 300 miles closer, its got 3800 miles on it, but its already got the BSM, which I want, but its older with more miles... but if I cant get the 37k for the 03, then should I just wait for another 03 or should I get the o2?
Or should I pay a bit more for the 03, say 37.5 or 38k?

Calm down. Either way, it's a LOT of money. Don't let your emotions run away with you. It's only a car and there are a lot of 'em out there. But it's your hard earned $$. Screw these guys and slow down. They've got one car each to sell. Your money can buy any of thousands that are available.

HAHA, thanks, I am calm now, the dude finally called me back, 1:14 minutes later....
Side note: he offered me $39.9 last night, without me saying a word..
Offer just now, after i gave him an ultimatum.... $39.8!!
What an a-hole.... you waste that much of my time for 39.8? Lets see, if I didn't take 39.9, why would I take 39.8?
Then he started going into his greasy salesman pitch... he said, "Well, were really close to what your looking at spending." I told him.. "Dude, your $3k off the mark... call me back when you want to sell that car."
So now the question is... should I go for that one in AZ? 3800 miles on an 02?
Still super low mileage... it has BSM, which I found out costs about 400 bones to put on after market... $36.5 isn't bad for that car... I dont' think? Thoughts about that offer?

Update, The guy has offered me $36 for the 02, which I think is a good deal, but im not sure I want to do that..
I found another one, help me out if you can..
Its an 02 EB with 3800 miles, its chrome, BSM, fully loaded... the dealer said it was a show car, has 450 RWHP, a whole list of mods..... I am going to get the list on monday from him...
He want 39.9k for the car... that is asking price of course... but I am weary about buying a heavily moded car from someone.. .I don't know where the work was done, or how well it was done, or maintenance on the car......
here is a few pics:

Besides, you posted earlier "I already got the 36.5 deal made with him." then you got another $500 off of that. That is a good deal and you should either buy it from the man or let him know that you are still looking.

That is a good deal and you should either buy it from the man or let him know that you are still looking.I called him today, litterally, I would have been on a plane at 6am this morning if he told me 36k yesterday, but at 36.5, I wanted to see what the dude in WA would give me for the 03.... I told him I wanted the car, but couldn't get there until next weekend, and he said he didn't think it would be around that long... but he said I could reserve it with a credit card, with no obligation.... but I don't know if that would work out... then I get there and don't like it, and he's lost a week worth of sales time on the car at 39.9k? somehow I think i'd get the shaft if I decided not to buy it...
I doesn't have chrome rims, which is a must for me... so that is some bones right there off the get go... but its clean otherwise, from the pics at least... it would have about 4500 miles on it by the time I got it home, which is still really low
but since its an 02, I get a higher rate than I would on an 03,
