I'd go to KBB and start checking out prices of years to help you narrow your search. You could also just start at someplace like cars.com and type in what you're looking for and how much you're willing to spend and THEN go to KBB and find out if it's a square price.
You can certainly find a Z for 9K, but it's going to be older or higher mileage, maybe even both. Make sure you get it thoroughly checked out before you spend your har earned cash on something that might be a headache that someone is trying to get rid of.
