sold my immaculate 04Z with 31,000 miles for 24.5K last summer (new goodyears, LG LTs, threshold, cover, shifter, Borla stinger, + factory stuff) was on auto trader for 4 months at 26K with only two interest emails, depends how bad the seller wants to let go of it.

Also offered a guy 18k cash 2 weeks ago for a bone stock 01Z needing tires with 62K miles on the odometer. he was firm on his 21K and I'm still looking

C6s are going into the 22-25K range now

23-25k! C6'S with THAT kind of mileage are NOT going for 22-25K!

I've offered $20,000 on at least a dozen z's in the last week and have not had a single seller accept. Finally got one guy 1800 miles away to agree to 20,500.

That sounds like a nice car,the fact it has new rubber and is stock,plus 1 owner are big to me.Having said that 25-to 27 like the other poster said ,i think is about right.

I haven't seen any C6's in my area (nj) under 26,000. Most are in the 27,000 to 30,000 and up!!

Yes. I wouldn't pay over 25 for it though unless you really value the low mileage.

Not true, my buddy just bought a 05/ with 31k miles excellent shape for 25k, and it has celebrity status, one owner and he bought it from General Colin Powell. I was there, brokered the deal and have a copy of the registration card and title to prove it.

personally speaking, you can pay for tires and wheels and exhaust if you want to, but cars all come with tires, wheels, and exhuast already.

I would pay between 20 and 22 for it max. Heck NADA only has it valued max at 24K

$24,000 would be about as high as I would go, depends on where you are.

I wouldn't pay more than about $22.5-23K for the car - and that may be a bit high.

Just messing around, I wasn't implying you were full of it or anything.

I say post a pic of Colin Powell though, would be cool to see.
