| 2003 Corvette Z06
Not sure if posted a while back as it's been up for a while, but new price and I'd say it's a pretty solid deal considering kms and how clean it looks

Low km and mint yes but you can buy a decent C6 Z06 in the upper 30s these days; these guys thinking their mint C5s are going to be worth near 30 are going to be sitting on them forever.
That car is an ask $27,500 and hope for $26,000 kind of car IMO. If it were black and a 2004 maybe he could ask $29k but even then I doubt it.

Mark | Lol where in the world are you finding c6 zo6's for upper 30's? The U.S. ? If so, then meh. Here they still sell between $40-46k.

Someone should take advantage of this. He is constantly dropping the price as the weeks go by.
Cons: US car, automatic transmission, mileage..?

Also to my original point... here's a decent looking 01 Z06 with less than 90k for $22k which further reinforces that a yellow one with low mileage is likely worth mid 20s only.
There are 5 cars that I have found in less than 5 minutes of searching that appear to be currently available and claim to have no accidents. I would say my logic is pretty well supported.
Thanks,
Mark

For those of us who do not have the skills to turn your own wrenches, getting a newer car with lower Kms is a better deal in the long run. A really good deal on used older cars are only good deals for those people who can trouble shoot and fix issues themselves. Just like buying a fixer upper house.

Oh for sure. Its not a car for everyone. Its not hard to understand why people do love them though. Although, even when it comes down to how much maintenance an older euro car requires, the low cost of entry, and the total lack of depreciation (or even appreciation) can make up for it. So many factors involved its just down to the car you get and what you want out of it.

The s2k posted earlier for 13k 101k km. Has shake/rattle. Clean title. Is it still worth it with that dent? One accident 2360. http://gyazo.com/71f07ee197f9c2f9e71a90e83dc3022c

An acquaintance of mine in Cali just sold his alpine white e36 m3 with 109k miles for 17k USD. The market is dry, and down south people are paying for them.
