Purchase Advice Z06
I have been looking for a clean Z06 with low mileage and a minimal chipping on the paint. What I have found is an 02 with under 5,000 miles and a 04 with around 10,000 miles. Clean carfaxs (if that really means anything) Both are at dealers . They are both priced around 36.5. Seems on the high side but both seem to be very clean low mileage cars . One is red, the other is EB. What do you think?

I just turned down a deal for a 04 Commemorative Z16 with 10,000 miles. I offered 30k and they came back with 35k (dealer car). It was a good deal, but I still turned it down. I would keep looking because it's a buyers market right now on C5s. Don't limit yourself to the local area and only use Edmund's or KBB pricing rates for a guide not the law! Good luck on your search.

I'd do the 04, there were continuous small improvements each year & 04 had them all.
Prices a bit high but not crazy high.
Now thru end March is the time to do it. Then Spring is sprung & everyone will get the bug to buy.
You understand how supply/demand works?
I have a nice LT4 that will go for sale 3/1/07. Vettes are seasonal.
