howd i do? (z16 purchase)
just purchased over the phone a z06 comm. it has 1200 miles, 1 owner, im gonna pay 39,400.
never thought they would do it. i found it at a dealer on autotrader with an asking price of 45k something.
it may be a little on the high side, but a 1200 mile z16 is a bit of a rarity i dont mind paying a little more for.
im pumped, gonna pick it up on monday.

IMHO, you did awesome! The true test; do you have any regrets? Not many with that low of miles... thougth there are a couple with less!
Congrats and enjoy! It is a great car and the color and stripes are unreal!!!

really a problem, that low mileage
you just bought a fantastic car
Mine's an 02 (bought 04) I put a solid white CE (same stripe as yours)on my quick silver. I love it. I'm still stock (ok, air intake and ignition work and tuner program and really like this way. These are way
quick, with not a whole of mods.

Too many think garage queens do not need maintenance. Ditto waxing & interior care. Be careful about mods. Many won't improve what you have. You may want to shop around for an extended warranty. Good luck.
You want to change all fluids I changed my fluids and my tranny really
shifts nicer. Maybe still factory oil in it. You want to change that too.

thanks for the kind words guys. i have been looking for about a month or so. started out looking to buy an 02 and just kind of kept working my way up. (some how i always do that. haha.)
i will post up some pics when i get it.
and about the fluid, dealer sold the car new and it was traded in on 06 vert. supposedly the guy was a fanatic with his cars. i know he said it has amsoil fluids in it and im sure they have been changed at least once.
and ill be sure and visit the z16.org.
