Is this a fair price for an 01 QS Z06 w/ 25K miles?
I just checked out the car and it's pretty clean exterior and interior. Bone stock car except for B&M shifter. He dropped the price down to $30K from $31K and is very firm on that. Tires look like they need to be replaced within a few months,but everything else looks good and taken care of. This car is in Northern California so prices for vettes are higher generally, but is this a fair price for a clean 01 QS z06 w/ 25k miles and no warranty?

And another question for everyone that knows....
If I report to DMV a lower sell price then the $30K (like around $25K and if seller agrees to it), does that mean I would have to pay less sales taxes(8.25%)? Any repercussions for the buyer and/or the seller?
Thanks. -Don

As for the taxes... no repercusions that I know of. When I bought my jetski and trailor for $2600 we put down $1000 for the ski and $200 for the trailer on the titles. I'd say the price is only good if the car has been re-ringed. If it hasn't been re-ringed or isn't under warranty then I wouldn't buy it.

Like magic the rear bumper got black and the oil started to dissapear. Post re-ring the car is perfect.

The 2002's all got the updated ring package and new teflon coated pistons ( to prevent any slap at cold startup ). If an '02+ car is using oil it's caused by a bad PCV seal.

I looked at the same zo6 your talking about. San Mateo right? Yea he wouldn't go less than 30k with me either. I told him the best i could do is 29k but he wouldn't do it. Pretty clean car except for the pretty bald tires. Btw that B&M shifter had a really short throw. Just thought i'd let you know that i checked out the car.

Yup,same car. Hahaha...small world. It's a clean car,but those bald tires will cost a pretty penny to replace very soon. He should drop the price a tad given that fact if he wants to sell faster.
No worries....I just promised someone in Seattle to buy a clean 01 QS Z06 with even less miles at 11K and WITH extended warranty for $31K. Very very good deal. Gonna fly up Friday and drive back down this weekend! Should be fun! Thanks everyone! I promise you all that in a few months,you will see a wicked looking Z06. Mods are planned already.
