it sounds like you are not specifically looking for a z06 for the reasons most others would be. if you want a coupe, find the nicest lowest mileage one that fits your budget. buy the car that you like and if someone doesn't like the price you paid remind them it's not their car or their money.

Did you want a Z06? Or are you just going with the flow on this thread? Sounds like the coupe's targa top is what you are really interested in. As a convertible owner, I can tell you that the open-air experience always brings a smile to my face.

Maybe this coupe is priced a little too high, but that should not dissuade you in your search if you really want a coupe.

Find the body style that you like. A lot of people do not care for the fixed room body style that the Z06 is stuck with.

not intending this to be confrontational, but, says who? can anyone show this guy a comparable car in his area for 16? maybe someone would like to have him as a guest for a couple of days so they can show him all the comparable cars in their area for 16 and he can buy one and drive it home.
i found a coupe in my area for 17k with 32k miles when i was looking, but i bought my vert w/88k for the same price and it was twice as nice as the 32k car. and, it is considered [ here, not where you are] that i got a pretty good deal. some on here would have said i shouldn't have paid more than 12 or 13k for an 02 vert w/88k miles.

It depends on what u want and where u are located. For me the targa top was a compromise as the wife doesn't like verts. In my area 20K would be a good deal, I agree with others get it checked out and take it for a long ride (40 minutes to an hour), if u still like then buy.

Of course that's just my opinion, and I might be wrong!

honestly, i don't think anybody is actually WRONG in a matter like this. maybe it's like, you have to walk in the other man's shoes, or something like that.

The best I could find by me was a blue coupe 99 with 75k for 16K.
