I went and checked it out yesterday and drove it. It's not for me, but it is nice. 1st owner of 19+ years and then it "sold" earlier in the year. Not sure if that's the dealer or not? Paint had some minor things, interior was great, and it drove great. I'm just not sold on that color to even make an offer. The search continues!

The right car will find you.
Some seriously nice Z06's for 20 and under...my advice...go there.
1 more piece of advice...be willing to travel...best deals are there.

for anybody else considering FRCs: they all had Z51, standard ratio T56 (MN6), and black interior. also lacked a few exterior color options like green or yellow.
only options i remember off-hand were exterior color, HUD, dual-zone HVAC, fog lights, Bose stereo, manual driver seat (i think), and magnesium wheels.

Wait for what you want! Do not settle for anything else. Having the patience of an oyster is a virtue in the car hunting game. Avoid modded cars, very, very risky and much harder to sell than a good clean stocker. Try to stay with a low ownership count and a no accident car.. Maintenance records are extremely valuable. The car could look as shiny as a diamond in a goats *** but I would still get a thorough bumper to bumper go-over by a tech who knows these cars. Don't ever believe anything a dealer tells you. A dealer, on a beautiful day, could tell me the sky was blue but I would still go out and look for myself. As mentioned above by other members, be willing to travel, the wider your loop the more options you have. The preceding is based on my own personal experiences in the performance car buying and selling hobby since the 1960's, formulated over the years by making some good buys and getting badly burned on a few as well.,
