Default Good price?

Hi guys,

Looking at a black 2007 z06 that is a friend's of a friend, I get the first stab at it before it is posted online. It has 30k miles, 3lz,nav,heated seats, etc. Car is stock with the chrome 5 spoke (10 spoke?) standard z06 wheels. Very clean and well cared for from what I can tell. The seller is the 2nd owner, no accidents on history. Would 29.5k be a good deal? The heads have NOT been addressed, but he did take it to a dealer for an oil evaluation and came back clean. This would be something I would probably address for peace of mind.

Thoughts?

That's a little high, unless the exterior is in very good shape. 25.5K would be more like it. You've posted the approximate dealer price for the car.

used the link below, and then the tabs at the very bottom of the page to find this..............

with the soft Corvette market, you may need to lower these as well

Dang, thanks for the info. I guess 29 isn't a great price. He said dealer offered him 28500.

$25.5k for a 2007 Z06 with 30k miles? I'll take two! That would make it the lowest priced one in the country by a long shot.

$29k is a very fair price if the car is as nice as you described.

I thought it was a good price as well, but factoring in 2k to address the head issue puts it at a decent deal in my book, but curious what others think

That' an insanely good price. It' probably 3 or 4k cheaper than it should be at that price.

Not a 3LZ...2LZ was all that was offered in 2007. Look inside the glove compartment for a list of options. I think that is a good price. Allow $3000 for heads.

I'm with others in that it sounds like a good price to me; particularly if it's in the condition you describe.

Thats a good price, some posts on here are just ridiculous. Where are these pristine Z06s for 25k with 30k miles. I would also like to buy two.

Have heads rebuilt, as you said for peace of mind.
Tire condition's important w/ Z06, look closely, new shoe can hit $2K+ for nice skins like Michelin.

Get past those two items, brace for an amazing experience.
2LZ w/ optional wheels, probably premium sound w/ GPS.
Pricey options in the day when C6 Z06 was hotter than hell.
While it's true black's a PITA re upkeep, it's also a very desirable color.

A nice ride given what it's capable of, like neck snapping torque through all 6. Unless tracked, it'll probably never see 4K in 4th.

OTOH for normal cruising ~28 MPG. Get it on my Z w/60K.

Hopefully you've driven it, right?
If not do so ASAP.

A LS7 w/ 30K isn't even broke-in, brake pads good to ~50K, DOU.
Clean history 2-owner w/ 30K?
C6 Z06 fills one of life's more attainable dreams for any Corvette enthusiast.
Some even claim '6's better than '7 Z06, citing similar reasons those preferring C5 Z06 vs '6. Lack of rawness, not enough feedback for HP.
JMHO C6 Z06 is a beautiful balance for all things automotive.
After 10 years ownership it still amazes me every time I climb behind the wheel. 10 years.

G/L, methinks serious consideration's warranted for this one.

Thanks for the info! I haven't driven it yet, but plan to do so soon. He said the tires are at about 60-70% so should be good there for a while. It's a beautiful car for sure, I've had a few black cars, I surely wouldn't have minded if it was JSB!

If you can buy a 07 Z06 w/ 30k miles, clean carfax, & the body/interior/mechanicals are in good shape... BUY it now, that's a great price for that car

Great price. I doubt the dealer offered him $28.5k though then offer it to you for around $500 more.
