Heres what im looking for a good deal on a Z06 (and only Z06) 2002, or better, and it has to be yellow (im color blind and i lose my car in the parking lot, plus they look better:) options are great, but im not being to picky. If any one is looking to sell so they can get there C6, my price range is 30K-36K, or 600 a month. if you got something EMAIL me, at
andrew.miller@blab.aorcentaf.af.mil
im in Iraq at present, but i gave a POA to my mom so i could buy while im over here.
Please nothing thats been raced hard. Already MODed its great to. im not looking for a problem car just something nice to drive. and kill the rice burners (i dont speed, tickets cost to much)
any sugesstions on year to get?
i found a 2002 with 48K miles for $33K good deal? :banghead:

You have your sights set right; either '02 or '03 will suit you well. $33,000 sounds right for the '02, althought that's a lot of miles for a car that age, at least for the way I drive. But mine isn't a daily driver. There are a decent number of them out there so keep your eyes open. And THANKS for getting Saddam!!! :hurray: :smash: :hurray:

That price sounds a little low for that car, but what the heck do I know. :D

Thanks for protecting our freedom! :flag

:auto: that's a little low for an "02; you can't even find a Z06 in our neighborhood (I've got one of four in Tulsa);
by the way, good work on Saddam, just strap him under your Z and drag him back to the US of A!!! :party: :party:

I'm in Z06 shopping mode also. That seems to be about the right price for that many miles, assuming it is mechanically sound. :skep: I'm looking for something with less wear and tear and I think if you can be patient you might see similar prices later next year for low mileage Z's.

Anyway, just my 2 cents. Stay safe and thanks. They should be GIVING you guys Z06's :flag
