I was at Courtesy Ford today in Hattiesburg Mississippi and they had 2, one was a Blue 2006 with about 45k miles and the other was a silver C6 Z06 not sure about miles or year but it was FINE. They were suppose to have someone trading in a C6 convert today. They have a web site so you can google it. I was there looking at a 2004 Z06 for s member in Texas.
Hope this helps,

I was in the same boat with the same budget a few months ago...
Some people scoff at the idea, which I understand, but I bought a ZHZ directly from Hertz. The whole process took a while, but it was pretty painless.
I got an '08 A6 (with the newer LS3) w/ F55 and NPP exhaust with 21K on the odo, and FULL factory warranty still remaining (might have a few months of powertrain left on an '06)...for a little change more than your posted budget, INCLUDING T/T/L.
The day I picked it up I took it directly to a good GM dealership and had it completely gone through. Leak down tests on the motor and everything.
Came back GM Certified and was told that "other than some minor scuffs on the top, it's in absolutely perfect condition".
Those scuffs on the top were from where people hadn't stowed it properly in the rear and came right out with some soap, water, and a little elbow grease.
Since then I've put probably 4000 trouble free miles on it. Done a few little things to it and it's currently back at the dealership for service and to clear a couple TSB's off the list. Replacing seals in the trans and new clutch packs in the rear. Oh it's not without its' imperfections. But it's the same imperfections that ALL C6's have.
I might've got lucky, but it's been the best car buying experience I've had so far to date.
Good luck on getting the right one for you!
