Default Brand New Z06

Just picked up a 04 commemorative Z06 with 836 miles, car still has all original stickers and tags on radio and sun visors owners manual still factory sealed . In my opinion car is just beautiful the blue with the stripes really stands out. I went to Carlisle last Saturday and did not see another commemorative Z there. The place is so dam big I could have missed seeing another .

Congrats, beautiful car! If you are going to drive it,you should really put new tires onto it though.

Wow, that's some really low miles, real garage queen you found. Mind me asking how much? I would bet that must have been in the low $30's with that little mileage and the condition. Agree on the tires. If you're going to drive the car you're really going to want new tires, those 13 year old goodyears may look like new but they are not safe.

Wow! 836 miles!

Original Owner pretty much bought it, drove it home, and parked it for 13 years.

Great find and buy for you.. Congrats!

Great find on your end.

Feel sorry for the mentality of the previous owner who chose not to drive such an incredible car, and just watched it depreciate instead.

Very nice! If I didn't have my '02 that would be my next choice. There's one for sale in my area with around 14,000 miles for $28,000. Seems like a fair price for condition.
Good luck with yours!

Nice score! I looked at a Z16 back in February... 1 owner car... 23k miles on it... immaculate condition. LOVED the color, tho the stripes were a bit much for my taste. Nonetheless, I REALLY liked that car... But I tried to squeeze him a bit on the price, & he said he'd "mull it over"... 24 hours later, he sold it to someone else. :-( About a week later, I happened upon a "regular" '04 C5Z in torch red with only 8600 miles on it, right after the ad went up. As before, it was an immaculate, 1-owner car with full maintenance history, new tires, new battery, & the usual "basic" mods. I was NOT going to lose out again. We struck a deal, & he delivered it to my house the following week. Smooth transaction all the way through, & couldn't be happier with both the car AND the deal. Enjoy the new ride!
