Default Help🙏🙏🙏

I have an opportunity to buy a 2016 3LZ Z07 with a sticker of 105k with 13,500 miles. I can get it for 67,500. Do I pull the trigger?

The question is, would you be content with settling for that deal? Im almost 100% certain it isn't built the way you would build it out from factory PLUS it has those miles...

I mean. It has every option that i would put less no comp seats. I wasn't happy with the mileage however I only drive about 5 to 7000 miles per year so If I was to keep this car for two years the mileage will even itself out.

I had my buddy check the Manheim auction the MMR number and it was 66k for a 3LZ. Plus they charge 1.5% buyer fee. That does not include the Z07 package

It has those miles? Plus he is not paying the higher price you would by ordering the way want, your answer makes no sense
Big deal 13,500 is not many miles unless you deal in garage queens which are a joke. That case buy a large poster and put it on the wall instead.

The OP really just has to decide. if you bring every purchase to ask here to WHAT to DO? you really didn't want one in the first place.

Cars are to driven not to be museum pieces. Or why purchase one?

So I appreciate your response. It sounds like to me it is a no brainer.

Sounds pretty good but option's don't hold value well at all.
Check the forum for sale section too. I have bought 3-4 cars from there and the owners treat them very well the average owners here is much better informed. Great deals there just have to sort them out. Just ask them if they bought snow tires for it and was it used in the winter I would pass to the next one if they did.

This is the best time to buy and worst time to sell. Try to get more off if they haven't had much action they may take a few thousand less. Should be lower prices right now!
I would try it! Good luck !

The MMR(auction )is 67k and that's for z06 not z 07. So 67k seems like a good number since it's wholesale.

I have seen you on this forum a lot saying answers don't make sense which in itself doesn't make sense. The OP is on the forum asking forum members a question that can only TRULY be answered by the OP, you don't see me saying that question doesn't make sense, I gave technically another question.

I happen to know you also own 2 Z06's, I am sure you were told that doesn't make sense but it clearly makes sense to you. So in other words, don't spread the nonsense Thanks. Back on topic,

Miles may not be a big thing to you but KBB and any other appraiser will ask how many miles are on the car. So miles are a concern to some people, plus to rate the integrity of parts you would use miles, being closer to big maintenance schedules are a financial concern as well which once again is calculated from ... you guessed it!!! Miles ...

I think it is a great deal. I would verify a factory tune and would have no qualms other than that. That is one hell of a deal.

The owner was 71 years old. Like I said the only option doesn't have which I really wanted was the competition seats but I'm more happy that when I sell this in a year or two that I won't take too bad of a hit compared to buying a newer one. I only drive about 5 to 7000 miles per year. So if I kept it for two years you think it's going to have about 10 to 12,000 more miles. And at that point it will be a four-year-old car with 25,000 miles. The warranty is still good till September 2019.

Sounds like a great deal to me. The comp seats are nice but aren't worth **** in the grand scheme of things. I personally value the Z07 package and Stage 2/3 aero kit far more than the seats.
