Have my eyes on a 03 Z06, a few questions - Z06Vette.com

Hello all,

My name is Jack and i've been in the import world all of my life. Finally stepping up to American muscle

Anyhow I have my eyes on a 03 yellow z06 that is being sold locally.The gentleman is asking 23K. The car is bone stock and has 32k miles on it. The paint is excellent and the seats have very little wear. Is this price reasonable?

I also noticed that at idle the car was rumbling/shaking in a pattern. I wasn't sure if it was normal.

Anything I should look out for? And whats the offset we should be looking at on these things when going for aftermarket wheels?

Cheers,
Jack

The price sounds very reasonable. They do shake at idle.

Car sounds nice and price is reasonable!
Any good wheel vendor will know proper offsets.

Oh the shake. I was sitting at a light just yesturday as I was shaken around by my Z. Its character. Its personality.

That price is amazing for a 03 with 32k miles.

big thing to look for is under the car.
See how the front facia looks underneath.(there are three spoiler pieces to make sure are there)
under the sides to make sure the underbody is in good order.
wheels/tires- 800-1500 a set a tires and wheels are 600 a set if trashed.

otherwise it sounds like a good find.
