Default DID I SCORE or FAIL?????

I just purchased some parts off the "auction site" and i was the only bidder. This all ways scares me. Does everybody else know something I don't ? I do my research and I'm pretty internet savvy. Anyway enough of the tease. So here's what I bought.

2002 ZO6 gauge cluster 23k miles
HUD projector
wiring harness
HUD bezel
all looks really clean with no broken tabs from a seller with
99% positive and 10k plus transactions.

for $239

I think I did good considering just the projector , switch and bezel
are $295 with no harness.

What do you think?

If it all works and you have a Z06, it's a good deal.

If the mileage on the new cluster is lower than your car and you install and represent that it's accurate...you're reprehensible.

Well I would never sell the car claiming accurate mileage. The person I bought it from all ready had the title as "mileage beyond mechanical means" or whatever. I plan on having this
vette for a long time. I kept my 92 for 12+ years and the C5 makes that car feel like a stage coach.

As long as the parts are as described when you get them, I'd say you got a very good deal.

Just for the record, I would NEVER badge a car as a ZO6 but a ZO6 tach is a different story.
If you do any motor mods the 6500 redline is a plus to have.

What do you think?
What auction site are you referring to if you don't mind me asking?

I have never heard of it.

A total score. I believe a GM dealership can change the odom for you so it reflects the actual mileage of your Vette. I imagine they will need some form of proof so I would call them before installing.
