Run it through kbb to see what the price is for Z06s now-a-days. Next, have you given it a test drive?
I'd be a little concerned about the low-mileage. If you decide to take it, you may want to swap the valve springs and change ALL the fluids. Garage queens are nice and all, but not necessarily good for these motors.

it was made in the 50th anniversary year, but there is not a 50th anniversary edition (what that option on kbb is for) z06.

Not sure where you even got 30th anniversary from (i'm assuming you know something about corvettes) but just don't check the 50th anniversary edition box on the kbb for a more accurate value.
In this economy I'd say it's probably worth around 27.

IMO: Your not gonna get a great deal from a used car dealer.....they get these cars at auction or a private seller and are looking for the maximum amount of $$$
Look at a private seller...I think you can get a better deal!!! You can probably find one for around 27K or a little less!

I disagree.
I found an 03 QS z06 with 19K miles a few months back at a BMW dealership. Car was stock, never been hit, and in great condition. They were asking $28.5K for the car. I called and offered them 24K and they agreed.

Just as a point of reference, I bought a 2003 Z06, mint, Torch Red/Mod Red with 7200 miles, for $31.5 a little over 2 years ago...

The cars are out there, and they're selling for super cheap prices and not so cheap=>expensive prices.
A guy I work with picked up a dead stock Z16 with 16k miles for $28500.
Personally I wouldn't want a "look at me" Z, but that's just taste.
I'll sell my 03 Z with an extended GMPP warranty for almost three more years, 15k miles, with 07 Z06 seats, and a bunch of bolt ons, lowered on stock bolts, tinted glass, shifter, super clean, etc. for $29500.
Are there cheaper cars out there? Hell yes.
What are you really looking for and are you serious?
There are plenty of cars in your area, some are going to be better than others, you have to keep looking.

btw, I LOVE my Z! Thought you should know that.....When it's in the garage, I just can't stop staring at the modred interior (which is spotless and looks brand new) and the sexy metallic shine on the exterior......
Hey OP, are you looking to join the multi-vette crowd or replace your c6?

Thanks for the tips and advice guys. I'm not replacing my C6, this was just a question I asked for a friend of mine who was looking at the Z.
He's going down to look at it today, and we'll see what he decides to do.
