He says it has not been tracked, and he bought it for his wife. But still the price seems very low. What you think?

His wife must like her music loud.

Can't quite make out the car in the background.

This ad seems a bit odd to me.

Seems like a lot of MODS for a car that his wife owns,and drives. not sure but I do not believe Z06 comes with an automatic. the cargo space is shot with all that stereo equipment, I would pass on this one.

Sounds like a "Little Old Lady" story to me. If it is true, I have to meet this guys wife.

Any woman that wants those kind of mods and a massive stereo system in a Z06 is A-OK in my book. I have been looking my entire life and have yet to find one.

I think the real story might be:
-He bought if for himself
-Added many performance mods and stereo
-May or may not have tracked it, but certainly drove the hell out of it at times (and I wouldn't blame him with those mods).

If it were me, unless it was a steal I would pass on this sale based solely on the fact that I question his honesty.

Yeah right.. I'm sure it was never driven over the speed limit.. listed as a Z06 and its obviously not.. All the stereo gear is for his wife while driving to church.. the coil-overs were installed just for the smooth ride and the speed bumps in the church parking lot... seems like a good car to pass up.

Call Anthony at LG Motorsports, he'll probably be able to give you the low down as it looks like they did all the mods.
