hpfiend Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) It is with hesitation that I post this excellent condition Corvette Z06 for sale. I have owned it since 2008 and enjoyed every minute of it. I am the second owner and the first was a GM executive. I have yet to find a car as well engineered and versatile as this one. The c6 and c7 were basic updates on this generation of corvette which elevated the breed to near super car status with its front engine and rear transaxle balance. The z06 is the most powerful, best handling, braking, lightest and rare of them all. There were less than 650 cars in this color and options combination ever built. This version is almost completely unmodified and unmolested with “upgrades” of column lock bypass, HID headlight bulbs (original bulbs included), and reengineered 2004 GM valve springs. With just over 50k miles, fresh tires, functional HVAC display and both working windows, it is sure to deliver many more s-miles. $20,000.00 OBO Thanks for your time.

dover Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Beautiful car, but you are bit far from fair market value of C5Z's. Nonetheless, glws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, pm’d - I have it listed everywhere and have received little feedback but a few oohs and aahs. I know a c6z or c7z aren’t as good for me as I have had or driven both and would have one still if so. A c8 is 100k by the time you actually get one and the reviews are mixed so far.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I replied, the c5z is still by far my favorite, but your buyer is going to have to have the same desire for nostalgia. With the release of the c8 it made the c6/c7 more and more affordable for people. I am seeing prices for 06/07 C6Z's for 27k now. I'd benchmark against some comps on corvetteforum and FB marketplace if you want to be more realistic with getting it sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokey Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 BAT brings big money for well sorted and documented cars for sure. If I were to sell the FD I’d put it on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpfiend Posted June 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2003-chevrolet-corvette-z06-26/ That one has lower mileage but more owners. Everything works on mine including both door locks and no windshield chips but those seats do have less wrinkles. I also include an INSTALLED column lock bypass for free. I am going to see what it costs to put it on there. I have had more no shows, tire kickers, and drama on this car than anything I have ever sold before. I had 3 people just yesterday flake out. I drove to meet someone the day previously and they let me know a minute before our meeting time that they had something come up all of a sudden. Covid issue? I am leaning that way as I am getting similar with my 01 subaru outback H6. TTT Edited June 21, 2020 by hpfiend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you decided to go with “no reserve” it’ll get list quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read a review that they set the reserve price to secure a sale ? true or just a salty comment ? (I,m considering putting my FD up there) Yes. The reserve you request is negotiated by them. I battled back and forth. I have talked to several high volume people selling through them and they guided me on how to handle it. Their approach seems to be to balance securing a sale but also stepping down the reserve on NEW sellers like me. I vet. with more sales can secure a higher reserve. I didn't budge much and was prepared to go elsewhere but then they caved a bit. They also reserve first right of purchase at the reserve if you're sale isn't met. THAT to me kinda pissed me off as they tried to really set me up for a low reserve and if for some reason the vehicle didn't sell they would have then swooped in to buy it at that price. In the end look into both Hemmings and BaT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
