NEG to $25,000 & It's a great buy. Even at that price It's a pretty good deal. Everything can be NEG'd I say go for It

IMHO he should come down some. Remind him if necessary that we are in the off season for sports cars right now (He should be glad to be selling one this time of year. Plus with Christmas coming a few extra $$$ from the sale can't hurt him.)

I paid 31.5 for a 2003 Z06 with 23K on it just last week in Carrollton Tx.

I'm a car salesman so I know you can get that price down. Good point bringing up the time of the year, which was stated above. Throw 24k at them and see how It flies.~

Even if they don't come down much, you're getting a pretty solid deal!

i'd say it's not a good deal at all

I almost bought a 2002 MY w/ 35k miles with GMPP till 2009 for his asking price of $26900

But I bought a 2003 TR w/ 7k miles for $31.5 last weekend.

I would say it's worth about 25!

The internet is your friend. Check out autotrader.com and cars.com. Cars.com seems to have a lot of vettes on it. You would think Z06's are rare cars, but I had 6 or 7 current ads to choose from in the DFW area. Print the other ads and take them along. Dealer I bought mine from was asking 35K. I showed him some of the other ads, some of which were in the 29K - 33K range. I told him "Here is your competiton. Come down on your asking $ or convince me why I should buy yours". He started taking turkey pretty quick.

Also, not to mislead on the post above - the amt I posted was the actual price of the car after all the haggling. Of course he adds his BS little fee for this, fee for that, sales tax, extended warranty, gap insurance (highly recommended BTW), etc., etc.

I actually ended up financing more like 34K, FWIW.

Default Made the deal....

Got it for 26k... there is no real "off season" for sports cars in Houston. We have about 3 days a winter a year....

New tires, new front rotors and brakes as part of the deal.

Thanks for the input... I ran the numbers at NADA and KBB... and 26k is a steal in Houston right now.

Congrads, and If you are happy with the 26k that is great, sounds like a good deal. Let's see some pictures of it soon.
