2006 corvette with 120,463 miles for $15,900 auto, tagra top, color orange, premium wheels,
 
15k for a 120k plus sports car...

I'd say no. You could buy a more sensible vehicle for the same price, brand new. Or probably even a GTO or 2003 Camaro with less miles for more or less the same price. I mean if you want it, then I'd suggest getting accustomed to the inner workings of the LS2 engines.
 
I'd say no go. With 120K miles, it's pretty obvious that is was someone'sbdaily driver. But if you really want it, go ahead, but I think it is a bit overpriced for that many miles.
 
Per KBB, it looks like a private party value of it is roughly $12,500 so I'd say it's overpriced for what it is. Also, even though the engine is fairly reliable, I have to imagine the type of person who buys a Corvette doesn't exactly drive it easy.
 
Looking at comparables with similar mileage they seem to be selling (listing price anyway on dealer lots) for 17 to 18 thousand. Assuming the one you're looking at is in nice shape and well maintained I'd say its a fair deal. Get it checked out independantly at a good shop, even if you must pay a hundred bucks or so yourself it may be worth it to find out the transmission or other major component is on its last legs so you you can possibly renegotiate or cancel the sale. Ask for maintenance records,......and get insurance quotes .
