Still looking for a 02 ZO6....found this one in the Seattle area...about 4 hours from me. What do you think a fair price would be? Kelly Blue book retail is $38,290 and NADA retail is $35,225. They have had it on the lot for only 16 days....and with only 3,000 miles (give or take)....I doubt it will be around....which I take to mean they may be able to get just about full retail? I did a CARFAX on it....1 owner, bought it new in June of 2002...I'm trying to get the dealer to dig up the owners name...so I can talk to him/her. Any of you guys have any insight? Thanks.

Kevin

That sounds like a decent price, considering the miles. Here's a couple more:

OK...I must be missing something...when I go to the corvettetrader website.....and open the 97-04 section....all it is is a listing of states...with no links to anything??????? Weird

I think they will come down to $38,500.....I was trying to stay below $36,000......but it is awfully tempting....being it is 1 owner and less than 3,000 miles...but that is quite a bit of cash....

I sent you an IM. $38K is too much, IMO. If a non-Z06 C5 with low miles is going for $31K, a Z06 of the same year should not fetch $6K more unless it has an expensive mod or mods, such as high-end wheels, intake and exhaust.

Dave01,

So you're thinking the 38 to 39K for that 02 with less than 3000 miles is too much then? a couple messages above I thought you said it was descent, considering the miles? I sent you an IM a while ago....should have posted it on here for others to see...but wanting to see what you all think...between the 02 one above and one I found locally here in Spokane, WA here today....test drove it today actually....a 2003 50th Anniversary with a little under 7,000 miles.....they want $41,500 (they have $42,995 on the window) for it...may be able to talk them into less....but seems to not make much sense to buy a year newer car with twice the mileage for $2,500 more....even if it is a 50th Anniversary edition?????? Both are GM Certified Used vehicles with clean CARFAX reports.

Kevin,

What I meant was that the retail price sounds like it is in the ballpark. Of course, dealerships always try to get a premium over what the average Joe would ask. I advise many people to be armed with prices taken from Autotrader/Corvettetrader before bargaining with a dealership. I remember why I decided to buy a new C5, back in 01. The dealerships around here were trying to sell used ones for only a few thousand less than a new one. In your case, a $41K used Z06 is getting fairly close to the base price of a coupe. While it's true at times that "He who hesitates is lost", more often than not, the person who researches the most, gets the best deal.

Dave
