Default Hello

I am new to the forum and do not own a Corvette yet but I am meeting with someone tomorrow and may buy his car . The car is a 2001 Z06 red and a one owner car . It has 13975 original miles and always garage kept and has never seen rain . It does have the passenger side window issue but other than that it is truly in showroom condition. Original F1 tires are like new but I was curious if since they are so old if they may be a safety problem ? No dry rot is visible . Are there any areas that I should look over (known issues) ? The asking price is 28500.00 and seems to be fair but I will be trying to offer a small amount less taking in consideration the possibility of having to buy new tires and the window issue . Does this seem like a good deal to you guys ? Wish me luck and I hope to report tomorrow that I am a proud owner of a Z06 !

Welcome aboard. Might want to compare some of the prices in the C5 For Sale Section below. Z06 sounds really nice.

Default h3ll yeah!

Congrats on the car man! I'll be down there this weekend to check it out! Be careful not to get the "mod bug", it hits most people as soon as they get it home.
