In the market for a Z/28

I went the new route to be original owner. Spent an extra $5k to $8k to do it last October. If I did it again I would have bought one of the many with 1,500 miles or less at the $5k-$8k discount and used those $ for mods.

That being said I would not have bought one with 5k or more miles to save another $4k, unless it was going to be my daily driver, then I would get the lowest price one I could find. At some point for weekend cars those are miles you can use up and still be a low mileage car when you go to sell. Since most Z's don't get daily driven, there will always be low mileage examples available at market.

Very happy with what I have, but with IowaEDU's car available at $48k with limited miles and a known member here, I would jump on his car, if white was one of your color choices. He has all the right stuff and has not abused it, so you are getting a virtually new car at a great price.

Good luck finding right one for you.

Yep there is market for that for sure! Used car lots should like this to offset the new car dealers ad budgets!

Coming from the UK/Europe I was surprised you don't already have such a thing in the 'States. We have several such sites for UK and European sites here's a couple of examples:

When I was searching for a Z to export to the UK I had several criteria, colour, miles, mods, no-AC, location (close to international shipping port, preferably East Coast),..etc etc

I found it a chore to search, but luckily managed to find my perfect car after a couple of months through a private sale on Camaro5!!

I would agree,if his car were silver or red,and it had AC it would already be in route. Non AC cars in SoCal and most everwhere else are deal killer for nine out of ten buyers, but over time it might actually become more desirable and the last 14 CTF is special.

Agreed - last CTF is special - but most buyers want to drive car and be comfortable, so AC is the key aspect.

Check out Camaro Fifty event this weekend at Selman Chevrolet!

I actually have my car reduced to $47k now. I hate it, but I need the garage space soon.

I have a Silver '15 Z28 with A/C (rarest color) that I am considering selling if you would be interested in it. I am asking $45K. The car has roughly 5000 miles on it, full factory bumper to bumper warranty with two years left. I bought it brand new last may. It is not my daily driver. No accidents and all service has been completed. Car is in Miami and can assist with shipping.

PM me if interested.
