I have a decision to make on which z06 I want. I live in Jacksonville, fl. There is a 06 z06 in AZ for 38000 that has 15000 miles. The other one is a 09 z06 in Jacksonville, fl but it has 60000 miles, the owner wants 38500. I know some of the pros as cons of each. What do y'all think? Which one would y'all go with?

Neither one, I would keep looking. I do not like the high mileage on the 09 and I do not want to spend 38k on a car 7 years old.

Too many miles on one and the other is too old.

Rich Mickol

Neither. Keep looking. You want an 09 w/ 15 k.

Ok thanks guys! I guess I'll keep looking.

musclecar6

I totally agree. Keep looking, lot better options out there.

Offer them 35k for the 2006....see if they bite. If so, go for it.

Not enough info. There are Vettes out there with 70k+ in better cond. than those with sub 20k.

I would want to know the owner history along with maintenance records on both before deciding.

I would have to research more and find out.

Wow everyone is an expert on the value of cars i see.Those who think an 09 even with 60 000 miles is too much at 38500 ,you are dead wrong!

So ou are the expert, not us, right?

That is a lot of miles for a 2009 ZO6. Most of us wouldnt buy it for much over 35k because of the number of miles. I dont buy high mileage anything, let alone a beast of a car like a ZO6.

I would go for the 06. Only difference between the years is the transmission and a few small things. The 06 Z is also lighter. I paid 40K for mine in Dec of 2012. Came with 20K miles on my 06 Z. Already have put 9K miles on her without any problems. Its my daily driver. Go with the car YOU like. Not the car the forum likes.

I also bought a 3rd party warranty "bumper to bumper" for piece of mind. Just in case something happens. Paid around $1500 for a 4 year/48k mile warranty.

Regular driving and the 06 is fine, but they did beef up the drive train(beyond the transmission) on the 09. The 09 will take more abuse.

Most people will not have any problems with the 06's drivetrain, though.

, the car is made to be driven, so a lot of miles is not a terrible thing if it's been well cared for, but its just too big a risk IMO, and its still a buyers market out there and with the C7 coming out I think you will see even more C6Z's going up for sale even with the difference in performance.

speedygc5

I agree w a few of the other posts. Try to find something newer w less miles. You won't regret it. I would think at least an 09

dallaswrenches

Thanks guys, I am going to wait till late July maybe August around the time the c7 comes out (I believe that's when) and see what comes out.

Another way to look at it is the 09 is a little on the high side for the mileage (average mileage for most cars in the US is 12K per year. I really don't see anything wrong with a 60K mile car but the price should reflect the fact it has 60K miles. If the car is in good shape and has been taken care of make the guy an appropriate offer and see if he bites. You just might get it for a lot less than 38.
