That seems like a decent price. Not sure why he should stay away.

I didn't really spend much time thinking about it, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if Yellow cars were less expensive than other colors.

Just my opinion, but it is probably the one of the least flattering colors for this car. I would have preferred a more 'golden' Millennium Yellow like they used on the C5s.

06's are the lightest from the factory.

Mine weighed in at 3055 with over a half tank of gas, without me in it of course.

It's priced ok, maybe a tad high..what is the low mileage? I paid 45K 2.5 years ago for my '06 with 2,500 miles, 2LZ, NAV. It was a little high but I knew the original owner...friend of mine next door. That was a fair deal.

That is a pretty good deal. Also keep in mind the economy is much different now than 2.5 years ago. These cars have hardly depreciated at all for the past 3 years or so. They took a big hit back then, but have remained pretty steady ever since.

You got in at the right time! Must be nice to drive a car for nearly 3 years with almost zero depreciation .

Feeling pretty good about the car I bought about 1.5 years ago. It is still pretty close to what I paid for it.

Yep. Not too shabby. I had a '07 Vert in VY that I ordered new. Now I did take a hit on that when I sold it but I cut my losses with this Z. It's all relative though. Playing with toys like this costs money.
Yellow definitely is harder to sell, I found that out.

I think with the mileage, 40k is a good price. If the car is nice, I would go for it.

I paid 44k for my Certified Pre Owned 2007 Z06 with 3500 miles. That was 2 years ago.

I literally checked the prices of every Z06 across the continental USA every couple of days. It took me a few months but my patience was definitely rewarded by a car which could've passed as new.
