I gave $22 for a few less miles on mine, but tee Quicksilver would had been WORTH an extra $1k to me!

Hi! Congrats on your potential Z! I have an '01... I bought it in 2006 for 22k. It had 34,000 miles on it. BUT it's an '01. I don't have HUD.. Ya know things like that are important to some people.. I myself wished I had searched the forum for sale section for one that was already Built up and supercharged. I'd just look around at comps like you are buying a house and find a number that feels good and you are comfortable with.. Maybe someone will chime in with some actual numbers for you.. Good luck and I'm excited for you! I flew to Jersey from KcMo for mine

I think it's a little on the high side, but if it's the car for you then by all means don't let it get away. You will always hear of cheaper prices but many have paid around that price to get the car they really like. These are really fun cars, I'm sure you will enjoy.

It may be a touch high, but not outrageous. See if there is some room for negotiation. As others have said, if the car is in great condition and its everything you want then its just a matter of if its worth it to you. Don't go another 6 months without one because the price was off a mere 5%.

For reference I paid that for my 03 Z with 26k on it a year and a half ago.

I paid $21K for mine last summer with 40K miles. I would think silver would be a color in less high demand. It is a cool color, but I suspect most Z06 owners prefer a higher impact color or black.

I just paid 20k for my 2002 Z06 with 42k miles on it four weeks ago and it is in showroom condition inside, outside and underneath. I love this car and everything works on it. A 65 yrs old man (the original owner) owned it and when I drove out to see it I laid 20k on the dashboard cash money all in 100 dollar bills (2 stacks). He could not resist the money. He was asking 23k. He said if I would of just offered him 20k without showing him any money, he would of said no, but when he saw the money on the dash board, he could not say no. The power of money will do the talking for you. I did'nt have to say anything. I thought for sure that I was not going to drive that car home that day. I could'nt believe he said yes to the deal.
