That would be a great price if it did not have the salvage title. If you plan on keeping the car for along time and have fun with it, go ahead. Resale would be a problem because of the title.

The salvage title would be a deal breaker for me, no telling what
happened to it, who fixed it, and what problems or issues still remain
or will pop up in the future, not for me...

Unless you want either a track car or plan on keeping it forever, don't buy a car with a salvage title.

^^ As stated. If keeping for a project or forever go for it. But planning to resale it later down the road then I would pass the deal.

Salvage title would do me in unless i knew all the details,who fixed it and how. Still just the title, lowers the price of the car regarless.

I see ebay doesn't offer free report anymore.

At the very top of the page it says it is a recovered theft car and it has never been in a accident.

And here it is....

" 1 Owner, Theft Recovery,69k Miles,No Accidents or Paint, Top Notch Z06!!!!!!!!!! "

IF it wasn't RED, I consider buying it.
And that price is $1000 more than I paid for 2000 FRC.


From looking at all the pictures, that is one CLEAN Z06 !! The interior is sweet !

Did a www.nicb.org/ VIN check. Date of loss was 11-16-2011

Recovered stolen has value but not 70K miles at that price for 02.

There's a 04 MYZ on cars.com linked from newspaper ad excell shape $17,500 in Biloxi. Don't know why it's still listed. It sold 2 weeks+ ago.

I bought my 02 z06 for the same price, with the same mileage and a clear title. Keep looking, you'll find one!
