They're giving a 10% discount on a one year old, used Z06. If it were me shopping for this car, I'd check with the forum venders to see if they can beat that on a new 2016. Consider that you're losing on year warranty, you're the second owner and it's a year old. If you can get the same deal on a new 2016, and that is a real possibility, then the car you mentioned is only a mediocre deal, maybe a bad one.
The other question, is this the color combination with the exact options you wanted? It's very hard to find an existing Vette set up exactly as you want it. Sometimes it's worth a little more if it's EXACTLY the way you want it.

I never mentioned a perfect deal, but why would you pay new money on a 2 year old used car?

I don't think it is a bad deal but I am not a fan of auction cars at that price point. I sold Chevy back in the day for awhile and think you can do better. You can buy a new discounted 2016 3LT and Z51 with new warranty and save $. Think you will be happy with that car and it is a safe buy. Better yet you could wait for 2017 Grand Sport. If you must have a Z06 I would look for a GM Certified car.

It is like a new car with only 40 miles, but before jumping on it at least give a couple of the forum vendors a call and see what they can do. That way you will know just how good or bad of a deal it is.

Thanks guys
For all the replies I'm thinking now when I go to pick up the car I might try and low ball them they have had the car since April and keep dropping the price,with only40 miles on it no one has had a chance to beat on it,should I be concerned it being an auction car ?

Edit:
Just saw your edit, and I wish the OP well!
Gkabc7, I'd lowball 'em for sure. Try and get them at least down to 75k, I'd start your offer at 70-72 and let them meet you in the middle. I'd also use NRB to your advantage, I know and you know it is the color you want, but if the dealer doesn't, play that card! Trust me, NRB is gorgeous, I've singlehandedly tried to keep it in production
But, for some reason it is not a hot seller, and I'm betting the dealer knows it.
