Picked up a 2004 QS Z06 tonight. It has 54K on it which I didn't like, but the interior, engine and body are in great condition. Compared to the other driver seats I've seen this one looks new. I did look at 2 others today, a 2002 QS with 32K but the body had quite a few scratches and a 2002 EB with 27K. Didn't feel comfortable about it, the engine was leaking oil from the valve covers and it made a wierd sound when the engine was turned off. And I thought my twin turbo Stealth was quick. Also looked at 2-3 others over the last 2 weeks.
Would have looked at more, but sent some e-mails out on others asking basic questions with no replies after waiting 2-3 days. Well I got what I wanted.

I know about mods, I've had 3 4 wheel drives. I put 11K in mods on my 98 Grand Cherokee in 2 years. Something new to put mods into. The first thing going is the stereo. I can't believe how crappy the Bose stereo sounds.

Congrats on your new ride and welcome! The C5Z are still a bad ride
54k is not that bad in terms of milage, and from what you wrote it looks like it was well cared for so you have plenty of miles left to enjoy it.
