I Am Looking At A Showroom Cond. 2002 Z06 That Has Only Has 5300 1 Owner Miles.
The Car Was Sent To Lingenfelter Where It Was Upgraded And Supercharged With A Polished Blower Kit And New Hood, And Brakes
The Car Is Also Set Up With 19&18 Inch Ccw Rims

Is It Worth $37,000.00 ???

Please Advise

That's a lot of money for a six year old car. Too much IMO.

If its the car you want, with the mods you desire, and it just catches your eye and you must have it, then purchase it.

It seems whatever a vettes asking price here on the forums is always going to be to high according to most members.

Remember if it came from Lingenfelter, it will have there warranty on the engine also

The upgrades won't show up in the kelly blue book,so I doubt the car will bring that much increase,just the owners loss.

A little over a month ago I bought a 03 Zo6 34,000 miles, bone stock, no damage, drove and ran like new, paid 31,000 plus tax and license.
I had 54,000 Dollars to work with that I got from my buddy's at State Farm ins. after a drunk driver totaled my 02 pont. Firehalk (sick about that, but thats another story) I felt I had about 25,000 For parts, (I perform 99% of all labor) to do my upgrades, with out breaking the bank.
OOOOOOPS! I'm at least $6,000 over budget (Afraid To Add It Up) car still doesn't drive, haven't worked out any bugs that might show up, hundreds of man hours invested, living with the frustration of suppliers not delivering as promised, etc. The car you mention has kind of high miles for a drive-train with a super charger, but, check it out/or have the car VERY carefully checked out, if it's what you want, you will be miles and dollars ahead of me.

Call Lingenfelter to see what all else they have done, as Lingenfelter modded Vettes do carry a premium as there work is regarded as top notch, so this Vette may be priced ok or close to fair value if all checks out
