Default Found the one!

Well if all goes as planned i will be picking it up on Friday
2006 silver Z51 with 34k miles
Has the 3lt package with NAV and seemingly everything possible. Car has had all the recalls done. Im a little skeptical as it has already had the ac comp, entire rear end, front arm control (guy at dealer made it sound like the controls near the armrest but im thinking it may of been the actual control arm) and a electrical connector inside the car all replaced under warranty. Going to give it a good look-over and make sure the harmonic balancer is not about to fly off and if all looks good i will be cruising home in this.

Obviously ive talked the price down a bit I will be sure to get some good pics up once its been clayed and properly waxed. Thanks for all the input and guidance everyone!

Hehehe. Very funny. Was at a hot rod/vette gathering at the local Hooter's tonight and saw more than a couple of Z51 badges.

What's up with that. That's not stock, is it? I've seen a bunch.

Haha sorry, i dont plan on putting any Z51 badges on it. I do plan on Autox it though and it came down to this one or a base model white 08 that had the 3lt but no z51 and after alot of thought i figured i would go with the silver. My last toy was a silver rx8 and i love the black on silver look.

Be sure to check for correct operation of the navigation system. According to the last photo, there's no map disc inserted. That might mean that there's no map disc with the car.

You should be paying about $28000. NOT a penny more. Congrats

righteous. funny, the first pic makes the bumper look slightly different from the hood. sewell new car sales has a stellar reputation; don't know if that carries over to used cars. but the car does look good. not that you care since you're going to race it, but how are the tires, mileage wise? it's 800 up for a new set, y'know.
