It is a low price! I would seriously consider that one! Most low milage 08's are about 50K - if it were closer to me - I'd look at it and I'm not even in the market!

or wait, was it a dropped valve...

OP, I think he MIGHT be pulling your chain.

In all seriousness... I paid just under that (42k) for an 07 Z wtih 12k miles...so I am wondering what that car is priced sooo loww.. I would actually check the VIN good to see what is up. As someone else mentioned, most 08's are in the low 50's or maybe high 40's...and with that milage that car should be more like 50-54k price.

:o i guess i fell for that one...when I bought my car every black M6 coupe with under 10,000 miles was listed at about the same price as this Z06 so i figured something had to be wrong.

could be right. there was an 08z here in houston a few months back at $41k, i think had 18k miles. id say if its legit, its a good deal.

you can always call and ask or do an online chat. maybe dont say "is this for real???!?!?!" but say you are "interested in the z you have listed for $42k..."

Check the carfax or see if they have it already. If that car is clean it is a steal just check the price with option on KBB or NADA

I'm pretty sure this car is legit. Call the dealer and talk to them if interested. I only bring this up because there are cars coming up on autotrader that are low priced bogus cars being sold by scammers. I recently saw a vert that was for sale in 3 different parts of the country for a super low price. Be careful.

That doesn't hurt them, just increases the displacement.

Call 1-888-267-3396 and ask them about the car. Not many scammers have toll free lines.

Wow...another one of those.....GM needs to learn the diff between aluminum and aluminum FOIL.......

So its either thin cylinder walls, a dropped valve, a broken rocker arm, or just that it's black

You never know, a local dealer here had a black 08 Z that I tested in August of 09 when I was seriously consider my ZR. I found out later that they sold it, brand new with a few miles on it, for $55. That was in December of 09 - not even a year ago.

Go figure.............
