Default Potential Z

I have been looking to get back into a z06 for the past two months and had a question regarding pricing. I found a 2007 with 32k miles, NAV and new tires. Asking price is 39900. I really do not want to spend anymore than 43k, so this one fits the bill, but I was wondering if it would be a good idea to continue the hunt and find one with lower miles, or try and work a deal on this one? Car looks pretty clean. Thank you.

My motto is always buy the newest year, lowest mile for the least amount, but the question you ask is a personal decision and we are moving in to the peak selling season, so prices will be going up.

I paid 40k for my 2007 Z06 with nav with 30k miles 6 months ago.it had aftermarket catback exhaust and a cold air intake. It needed new tires.I bet they will ccome off their price a little too. I'd offer 38k and see what they say.

43k is somewhat limited to 06/07 years, maybe 08 and newer but with substantially higher miles...38k/39k is what I would offer.

That's not a bad price. If they'll come off $1K it would be a good deal. If they'll come off $2K you're not going to beat it.

The new tires could be good or bad depending on what they are and if you are picky about tires. Actually if they're good tires (again, if your picky) and they'll come $1K off the price, that is a pretty damn good deal (a good set of new tires can run $2K installed).

Caveat is that the car hasn't been seriously modded or beat on, wrecked, or flooded. It should go without saying, but CarFax it.

I don't think you're gonna find anything with lower miles for anywhere close to that price.

I paid 46K for my 06 Z06 but it's a SUPER SUPER CLEAN FROM INSIDE and out side very low miles and the pricing here in Kuwait is higher than you think cause the Z at the dealer was 27K Kuwait Diner which is almost 100K hehehehe steelers are here my friend ... but it's a personal chose you can get what ever you want for what ever you see on the right way.

I'm a big Steelers fan and I had no idea that they were in Kuwait.
