Got it, They have had a few Z's lately - so most likely the cut and paste the last ad for this one, never reading it or verifying spec!

Most likely. But, it's a potential bargaining chip the OP could use. Since it's NY area, A/C isn't as needed I don't think.. so the value of all the upgrades is totally worth it imo.

The 2015 sat outside and the paint is very weathered, needs one of those expensive multi-step paint corrections, and I’m not sure that all of the etching will even come out, black certainly doesn’t help. I was also told by the original selling dealer that the underside of the front splitter on this one is cracked unless it has been recently replaced. Also tires are original so bank on replacing those and all fluids as well if you want to drive the car.

$800-1800 for paint correction and ceramic coating here in Pittsburgh. Depends on ceramic coating qlty and if just the body s getting done or the wheels and glass too.

Michelin tires could be more with mounting and balancing.

Front lip is attainable.

Everything needs reviewed and price adjusted accordingly

Wow.... I wasn't expecting this much response.... this forum is amazing.

Allegedly the black one is sold, still up for sale. Lets see. I will inquire about the red one.

I'm far from any expert..... probably know almost nothing but I think these cars are done depreciating.

If you are planning on keeping this Z/28 as a track car then a non AC car will be the perfect choice but if you plan on cruising around town with it then the AC is a must. The humidity in NY and those coast states is terrible in the summer times. I’m glad I held out until I found the perfect deal so my advice is don’t rush just because you are excited at the moment. Took me about a year to find the perfect car. 14 red with 2000 miles and AC. Dealership wanted close to 50 for it when it first popped up. Good luck!

This is a non A/C no radio car. Katech stage 2 was done about a year ago.

I'll find out more later this week.

I am pretty sure I know this car it sounds awesome like no other Z/28. Just be careful as said before you can do way better on the price.

GeneRoss · 07-26-2019, 03:09 PM

Finalizing a deal on another one.... it's a 2014 also H/C car. Update to come shortly.

Price is a little steep on this red one and I don't like the fact that this thing racked up 3K miles in a matter of 3-4 weeks and now it's back at the same dealership.

Glad to hear!

Same, I found that to be super sketchy. Good decision.
