This is summer time, and he is asking a really really high price. Last winter, he would have sold that car for $22k.

+1 Could not have said it better. For "sport" cars and motorcycles RIGHT NOW is a sellers market.

The z06 I purchased would have EASILY gone for $4k more in summer, then when I bought it.

I'm negotiating a deal right now. It's a 2001 Z06 with only 6250 miles, It is quicksilver with black interior. Absolutely mint in every way. Garaged and covered in winters. I know he'd take 30K but I might be able to persuade him to 29K. Would that be a killer deal????? Your thoughts.

Wow! That silver & black 2001 Z06 I was talking about with only 6200 miles, one owner and in mint condition... got it for 28.5K!!!

This has got to be a good deal. Do you all agree? and what does bump mean?
thanks

Seems a little high. I got mine 03 with 10k miles for 31 18 months ago.

I ended up getting the 2001 Z06 instead of the 2003. Much nicer condition, 1/2 the miles.

I'm an Irvine guy also. I bought mine 7 months ago. I looked for 4 months before I picked up my 2003 Z with less than 3,000 miles for $32,500 in Vegas from a private party.

When you go to a dealer you will pay for the ease of financing, dealing with a known company, and someone to yell at when it ain't what they said it was.

FWIW, I sold my '95 with 140k miles and the original clutch was still good. The car was my daily driver. I put the last 100k on it.
