2004 z06

Hey guys, I come to you from the C6 (13GS) & C4 (89 Vert) sections. A guy I work with just put his 04 Z up for sale. Black on black, 92k, semi daily driven, all stock. Not a garage queen, looks like a 13 yr old car with close to 100k on the clock. He is asking $17k.
Anything specific I should look for ?
What are the major C5/Z06 problem areas ?
Give me the good/bad/ugly on these cars.

Thanks.

2004s have a common issue with the fuel tank design; thousands to fix.

If you can't not do some work on the 04 as things need to be replaced I would stay away from it . Dealers don't want to work on them a little old for most and finding a good shop ant much better so if you can't work yourself I would not buy it .. Its going to need something sooner or later .. Labor $85.00 /$125.00 Hr most shops . These old Hot Rods not relay to and from work rides not with lots miles on them .. Just my 2 cents.. Been working on them scene the 60s..
