this definitley isnt rushing into it, ive wanted one of these forever so ill definitley be more than 100% satisfied. and having a decal and and exhaust i wouldnt consider it modded but i understand where you’re coming from…
best price ive found so far on a z06 is 19995 and it is a goooorrgggeousss car, electron blue with 85kmi though :ohnoes…im looking to spend $18000
or less…and once again the ltgun has to sell first.

Nah you can just see that “your” car has the rolled tips, while the B&B are a semi-slash cut with no rolling. I notice little crap like that lol. Does look like a nice car though bro!

Oh, and OP-I’d save up a little longer and find a smoking deal on a C5Z, look on the Corvette Forum. Don’t be scared of the miles and use them as an exclusive reason not to buy. My 01 has 77K on it and ask Kramer how clean it is…

i hear ya on the mileage thing, these cars are extremely well built and as long as its clean i dont really care about mileage, its just nice to find one with decent mileage on it. I found two others in the 90-100kmi range one for only $13000 and its bone stock original owner car. and the other has exhaust wheels and tune hes asking 15000 for that

I’d either go for the ultra cheap C5, or save up and find a decent Z, which can still be found for under 20. I would not purchase a regular C5 for the same price that a Z can be found, no way.

Meh, don’t dead set on a GM product, many 10’s of thousands were produced and there is probably a better deal if you keep looking.
