2001 z06?
Hi gals and guys. Just sold my 2005 C6 and am looking at a 2001 Zo6 with 19K miles. Book values are all over the place.
He is asking 24K. 2 very minor scratches. Extras are Borla cat backs and K&N intake.
Does this sound reasonable? Kellys Blue Book has it at 21,500 and NADA is at over 23,000. With the market as soft as it is right now what would you guys offer?
Thanks,
photoguy

If hes asking 24k I doubt he would drop all the way to 20-21, but I think anything under 23 is a good price considering it sounds to be in good condition and the low miles. Just to show how its dropped in 2 years I bought bought my 01 with 19k miles for 29k otd and it that was a "good deal" then.

I would not buy an 01 and I would not pay over 20k for that car. The market is too soft and flooded with Z06s. Too many deals out there to give away your money for this underpowered overpriced 01.

The engine is the same! The cam is slightly bigger and the valve are slightly lighter, 20fwhp is nothing. If you plan on modding it does not make a damn bit of difference other than saying you have a newer car. Some 01's did have a oil consumption problem but most that had the problem were fixed under warranty and in most cases you have nothing to worry about.

Don't underestimate the '01's. I have seen some put down more power than the 02-04's. If the car is nice enough to satisfy you and you are happy with the price, then I say go for it. Although me personally I wouldn't pay no more than $21k.

Make an offer ! Always make an offer........
No matter what the price make an offer. You do not know what his situation is or just how long he has to sell and the perowned market is in flux all over America.
I have a one previous Kalifornia owner '01 with 24,000 that I bought three years ago last march for $21,500. My car is perfect. If you are not aware of the general oil consumption issues that peaked in '01 read my post;http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...post1570223936
I have no qualms about the '01 Z06, infact purposely sought out the '01 Z06. Bo your homework , as you should with any Vette. Get hold of the GM service history ( ask the GM dealers service dept for a copy, you'll need the VIN number), get a CarFax or equiv. and have the car inspected by a knowledgeable professional ( its money well spent if the car turns out to have any problems).
The 385hp vs 405hp is actually so easy to over come. You have the catbacks, so add the '02-'04 Z06 larger opening air filter box cover ($25-$40), swap the accordian connection air duct to the MAF with a smooth silicon one ($40), and a good tune up ($200-up) and you have 20hp.
Good luck, dave

On a side note, I bought an 03 z06 with 19,500 miles a couple months back for $24K.

Went and looked at it today. It is in very good shape. Wheels are not scuffed at all. There are 2 minor scratches, one beside the gas lid which is about 1/2 long and another smaller one. It will need 4 tires by spring.
I am going to make a 20K offer and see what happens. With 0nly 19K miles I feel that 20K would be a fair price seeing that I will need to spend 1500.00 for 4 new tires down the road.

lmfao at the underpowered comment!!! some people have no clue.
my 01 has never gotten outrun by any of my friends 02+ z06's or any of their c6's (non z) either. 01's rock just like the rest of the c5 z06's and are just as fast.
