To me it's worth a pass. I don't like that much wear on a vehicle that new. I'd rather have an older lower mile vehicle than a higher mile newer vehicle. IMO. Unless of course it was priced so low you couldn't refuse.

Book says, in that condition, $13 - $17k. I agree with Tommy, pass. Great car, but sounds a bit abused.

5 sets of tires tells me he is getting 30K per set, which in turn tells me those are mostly highway miles. Figure $1K for new seat covers, $2K for new clutch, and if the math works out and you want it make him an offer. I guess the wild card would be the paint condition though. We all know what paint costs.

There's one at the Chevy dealer here for $55k. Don't know the mileage but looks new.

My daughter found a high mileage 07 ZO6 Red/ black interior with 152K miles. Drivers seat is worn, the owner is a medical imageing rep. Minor dings, minor road rash on front end beyond bra, has gone through 5 set of tires, wheels look good. Engine sounds good, clutch is iffy, 1st gear sycros a little rough. Had rear hubs replaced @ 130K, suspension work @ 120K,
Used Amsoil since it was new. All dealer repairs. Orginal clutch. 30 something rep. states its never been raced but has 6 speeding tickets over 3 years. Didn't ask about speed. He told me he had it at 172 once.
On a scale of 1-10 it about 6.
What do you guys think its worth?

I kinda like the 290 mile Yellow Z06 with a private party asking price of $29000. I wonder how cheap a 2002 Z06 is going for. I still have room in my driveway.

Vetron, if you (or your daughter) pass on this car I am extremely interested. This is perfect for my use, as I will be gutting it and making a race car out of it.

Seats and miles don't scare me, it will have new seats and a motor rebuild, a clutch is easy with the motor and trans out ;)

Where is the car?

Yea, but the bad clutch could be amplifying the 1st gear problem.

Fix the clutch, and first could fix itself. At the same time, if it doesn't the transmission is an easy swap... remember? Behind the differential!

I just ran this car through kelly blue book and got a fair condition value of $16k, on private party sale.

I would say that if your daughter lays off the huge mileage hits, and in say 4 years, the car only has 165k on it or so, she might just break even or even make a few bucks. If nothing else, it sounds like a fun ride.

And I tend to believe that the prior owner didn't beat on it... think about it, he needed to depend on this to get from sale to sale. If it took a shit, he was out money, in more ways than one.

I don't understand the point of buying something beatdown and then budgeting for new seats, paint, etc. I mean the entire point of buying something used up is to save money, you defeat the purpose when you go put a new paint job on it.

I agree that mileage has to be all freeway, so it's actually better than had it sat idling for that length of time.

I mean, it can't be any worse looking than the paint on my car, and it shines up just fine.

I'm confused does he want 12K for this car or 33K. If it's 12K I would get that in a minute. I would let my wrench look it over to make sure no big engine problems. The car is only 4 years old and it's a ZO6. I would like to see pics.

What the car is worth to the dealer on a trade in on a new Vette.

Any news? I'm frothing at the mouth for this car...

Or maybe it's from that dog bite last night.
