Thinking about getting a Z06
Hey,
I've been looking for a new DD for a bit now and have switched between a few cars. Originally I was thinking corvette but then i drove a STi and a GTO and loved both. Then i started looking at corvette's again and I'm pretty set on a 2001 Z06. I would like to stay at about 25k or below. Do you think thats possible on an 01 Z06 with about 50k miles? I've seen a few at this price but just thought i would see if that seems odd to you guys. Also Is there anything i should look for when buying one? Besides basic car buying stuff are they any issues that you guys have had that i should look out for? Anyways thanks in advance for you advice.
David

David,
...Welcome to the forum. Some of the 2001s had oil burning issues. Have someone pull up the GM service record on any ZO6 you are looking at. The oil burning problems were fixed for free as a warranty issue and if the car had the problem it was probably bad enough that the owner took it to the dealer for the fix which involved reringing the engine. Many 2001s had no oil burning issues. You should be able to find one for around your price.
