It's lot of car for that price. I'm sure every Tom, Dick and Harry on here will tell you to try to get the guy down to $20-21k...and maybe the seller will take that, who knows?
But if that is the year and color combo you want AND!!!!!... it checks out clean and is as nice as advertised, then you'll have a hard time finding one much cheaper.
Not all 35k mile cars are the same, either. That is what all the low-ballers out there try to assume. You'll have a slew of people, I'm sure, who will say, "I got a 30k mile Z06 for $20k"... yeah, fine. A garage-kept 35k mile car is going to be worth $3-4k more, IMHO, then one that sat outside, has rash on the wheels, and surface rust all over the suspension parts.

mileage is only one angle of condition
if that's a well maintained rust free car that hasn't been tracked frequently 23.5 is just fine

I would say it's a touch high. Some of the advice from the posters above comes with the caveat that their cars have been for sale for a long time iirc, they provide different justification and perspective for larger than average payment.
Manheim prices say an excellent condition Z06, with ~45,000 miles is ~$20,200.
Black cars hide blemishes really well in pictures, you need to see it in person before paying over market value.
+if you've been searching for 6 months shouldn't you know what a good deal is by now?

Totally agree about black cars!!! Have to see that in person.
In the end, this wasn't the right car anyway. Lots of previous owners and a seller who wasn't able to answer some questions. I'd move on, too.
