I bought my 01 with 10.5k miles. I flew out to buy it and drove it 900 miles back home.

not sure why that would be ..
My 01 has 65K on it , bought it from the original owner,who was 62 years old and it came with all service records and warranty records.

The car looks like it has 20K on the clock and runs stronger than a few with much less miles that I looked at had.

These cars can and will go the distance if taken care of.

The price was right, very right.

Yes they are performance cars, all Corvettes are, they are designed and engineered to last a long time if cared for, just like any car.

This is my first Z06, not first Vette, and eventually I will work my way up to an 04 with 10k on the clock , I hope it will be as good an overall car as this one.
