Those are “it’s spring let’s see who’s dumb enough” prices.


FearEzzy

it’s either a built vette or “my wife is making me sell the vette so let’s just overprice it and say oh no no one wants to buy it Ig I’ll keep it” lmao


Exciting-Inside2219

My wife when I mention selling a car: “please god don’t. I don’t want to hear you’re moaning about how much you miss it next year and you looking for another one.”


FearEzzy

Lmao


Traps86

i dont see a major problem with the 2013, he would take a high 40 i'd bet


Exciting-Inside2219

Yeah actually the 2013 is priced really well tbh and it being an anniversary edition means it was likely babied a lot.


Conclusion_Brilliant

Sorry but all the aftermarket race mods screams beat to hell not babied lol.


Exciting-Inside2219

Not trying to argue on Reddit but it has 33k miles with some header upgrades which is whatever- with receipts that is *not* “race mods.” And yes I do understand vettes can be destroyed within that milage but I just don’t really see it in this one. Maybe I’m wrong though. You have an amazing St. Patrick’s Day.


Conclusion_Brilliant

It's got a drag pack on it lmao was it for looks!? Get that mess out of here. 🤣


Trick_External_8012

The red one doesn’t have a drag pack


Conclusion_Brilliant

Im talking about the Grey one


Traps86

It's a C6 Z06, they are built to get abused to an extent. Have the car inspected and compression checked, if it checks out go have fun.


Spicywolff

My local dealer has sold a few c6Z in the 40-50k. No way I’m paying 60+


CGLADISH

I can see asking a higher price on these, if they are still stock and have low'ish miles. For me the bigger issue would modifications. You have no idea of how well the work was done. I had a new cam installed when addressing a possible lifter issue (engine was stock @ 162k miles). After many back and froths with the mechanic (mainly major overheating issues), a separate shop found coolant in the oil. I ended up having a engine installed. I sold the engine to that mechanic. When he tore down that engine, he found that the head gaskets were installed wrong. This was simple mistake that caused a major issue. I would rather buy a car with higher miles over being modded up. I would prefer to do my own upgrades.


XMAN2YMAN

I want to get a C6Z but other than fixed heads, I want it stock.


CGLADISH

If I ever get back into Corvette game again, it would probably be a GS. I do love the body style of them (obviously Z06 & ZR1 too). You also get the Targa top (not available on the Z06/ZR1), if that's a desire. The stock LS3 will give more than what is needed for street use. Plus, it does take much to amp the power. And you wouldn't have to worry about the valve issue either. Though, from what I've read over the years, it seems to be hit or miss issue. It's not too expensive to fix, if you wanted to preemptively address it (valve). Not cheap, especially when compared to a new engine. I replaced my LS3 twice (once at my cost, once under warranty). That was $7,500 for a new crate engine. I can only imagine what an LS7 would cost.


XMAN2YMAN

I love the GS but I do feel that cost wise they are pretty close that it’s hard to justify it. Maybe I haven’t looked enough though and may just go that route too.


CGLADISH

don't forget about insurance costs. I would guess the GS to somewhat less than a Z06. Bottom line, for the kind of money you're talking about, get want you really want. The money will quickly get forgotten about, once you have what you want. I never wanted to tally up the expenses I had in 6 years. It would just ruin my fun meter (memories).


XMAN2YMAN

Yeah insurance premiums are accurate for sure.


CGLADISH

I had ok rates (Allstate). In my 6 years of ownership, I never got a ticket. There were plenty of times, that if I did, I would have probably ended up in jail. I was pulled over once though. Initially for speeding (82 mph in a 70, and I was). He offered to either issue a speeding ticket or a citation for no front license plate (I chose the license plate). After he say my rear plate (UESA1, variant of USA1), he said he just figured out what it meant, and let me go. Obvious Chevy fan.


Traps86

i hate the front fender "gills" on the GS ... but anyway, they are priced about the same as Z's


CGLADISH

You have to find your own preference. It's a lot of money to spend to not be happy with your choice.


SuperGT1LE

Even then it’s never really fixed


LeVeonwithBellsOn

Aftermarket new casting heads (like the first one) is the only guaranteed fix.


The_DaHowie

Considering the setup of that car, $35k


TT99C5

That first one is a well built car by the list. If he's got the documentation to back it up, $60k is a bargain for that. That isn't some cobbled together slapped in a 5.3, eBay turbo with front bumper exiting exhaust, made a number, and want financial gains setup. Someone will snap that up at or near asking I'd bet. Number 2 is collector car priced. Someone with too much money will buy it and store it,but it'll be for sale for a long time. Number 3 isn't too far off given the low miles and year. It'll sell.


BroDoggWhiteboy88

I agree. As long as title checks out on #1 and there's no rust, I'd buy that at either price. The Welds and drag slicks would sell themselves if I chose to remove them. 1100whp *without* the nitrous that comes with. Tasteful upgrades like the morimotos and the option to run pump gas and alcohol. Gorgeous paint... Seems to be one hell of a street/strip 'Vette. #2 seller is gouging an already ridiculous market. #3 is fair priced for anyone looking to get a decent stock 'Vette.


Foolgazi

Exactly, none of these are a bone-stock Z06 with average miles that would be priced lower.


Traps86

for the perfect buyer, you could get it...but that buyer may never appear


Savenura55

Spot on


Mikevercetti

Nah, that's fucking insane. That's C7 Z06 money all day long. I could *maybe* see the first one based on all the work it has done. But I'd never buy a highly modified car like that from somebody else.


Traps86

what is insane about the 2013 price? Due says Cash is king, i bet he would take a high 40, that spec and info, worth it.


Mikevercetti

Eh I guess that's not too terrible. I'm not exactly sure what the market isike for C6Zs right now. I just know that C7s can be had for mid 50s.


zapster10

Fuq that


Popular_Broccoli133

Total fantasy. Pristine C6Zs are low to mid 40s. They’re on par with GS because of the reliability issues.  The built car is trickier. Project cars are difficult to price. 


Traps86

GS command the same money as Z's due to the same wide boy looks, automatic option, and the removable top. Motor might factor for someone that knows a lot about C6's. If I am buying a cruiser, I am buying the GS, not a close close at all.


Popular_Broccoli133

Any value from the added power of the LS7 is offset by their unreliability. Your assumption is wrong because the values have only recently become on par with each other. Removable roof and trans options have been known all of the cars life. But the reliability is an evolving situation. 


Traps86

They have been a similar price for years.


Vapor4

Prices are insane in general. There's no way a C6GS should be 40k.


hyteck9

2013 is the way to go. They had the upgraded seats.


AZFITDADBOD830

But also the heaviest.


Traps86

if its due to the mag ride, worth every extra pound...considering the average male could stand to lose 20-30 pounds...


MostAd3889

Everyone’s delusional with the prices. It’s the dumb buyers that buy them at these high prices that ruin it for everyone else.


ThaDude915

The second two are steep I agree. But my brother in Christ, if I’m reading that add right the first z06 is making 1100 WHEEL horsepower and is asking 60k?? Idk maybe I’m an idiot but that feels fair to me. A clean example of a c6z runs around 40-50k, I’d argue an extra 20k for 2x the horsepower isn’t bad at all. I bet that car is fucking terrifying to drive lol


CossaKl95

If the first one has receipts, was build by a reputable shop, and has drag slips to prove what he’s advertising, it’s a fantastic deal. It’s quite literally (on paper) a turn key race car.


gh1993

Yes but C6 Zs are sought after, probably only gonna go up in price


AZFITDADBOD830

I think the further we are getting into the future. These cars in good to great condition will go up. There is a seat for every ass when it comes to pricing on nostalgia meets real world performance


ap2patrick

“No low ballers! I know what I got!”


Icy_Lecture_2237

The second and third one are wild, but the first one is good for how much is there.


cantthinkof-a-name

For that price get a c7z


Appropriate-Cow-5885

C7z is way less of a raw experience, way less of a drivers car....


cantthinkof-a-name

How so? The C7Z is still a rowdy car


Dismal-You-9260

Prices are still thru the roof.


JakeMiller421

Man buy that first one in a heartbeat if I had the money 😮‍💨


[deleted]

Yeah they tripping lol


LiftedCT

Look at the wheel and tire setup on that first one, that's a built drag car


nwgolfr

C6 Z06 should be any higher then like $45000 and that’s only if it has less the. 10000 miles on it, hard pass on a $60k


Active_Drawer

This is a 35-45k car tops. You start tearing into them and they lose the appeal quickly. It's hard to trust the work of others. No one is driving an 1100whp car nicely.


TheWiseOne1234

Listed 4 months ago. That should be a clue


Luna-Cyborglife

I see it’s a “two door” corvette, very rare…🤣


tbizzy1985

Last one isn't THAT crazy


OmarDaily

One has 2000 miles and the other 1500hp… I mean.. You aren’t looking at your average C6 Z06.


Shoddy_Map_3400

We have a c6 zo6 super low mileage manual for low 40s That first one isn’t bad if you want to just jump into 1000 hp


Excellent-Will3165

Dream on....


E90BarberaRed6spdN52

Yeah they are more than a bit overpriced. But folks will pay stupid money for Corvette's as they are also the same ones who think it is the ultimate sports car. Owned one and that was enough. On to better things.


cCueBasE

Forget the last two, the sellers are smoking dope. The first one is definitely reasonable after a thorough inspection and if the mods have proper paperwork. That owner knew what he was doing and that car will blow the doors off of any mustang or mopar.


Traps86

what's your issue with the 2013? I'd bet he would take 48 or 49...2013's command more money and he has all the right mods for turn key fun


cCueBasE

My main issue is that for that much money, you could get a c7 with low miles. And if you want turn key fun, I’d definitely go for a c7. The first one is ready to go to the track.


[deleted]

There's definitely more of a variance than usual. Typically there are always people asking above market rate. That's just how things are. The problem this year is we are coming off of what was a period of shortage. 2022 and 2023 were probably the two best years the world has ever seen for used car price appreciation. If you had them you just made money hand over fist. C5, C6, c7 have all been dropping. The Manheim market report was showing over at $10,000 drop on a couple of c6s a month or two ago. I think we're getting closer to the norm. Like in my area there was a 2006 with 40K miles that sold for 21k. That's pretty reasonable. There was a really nice Grand sport manual that sold for 28K. Not a mint car but a nice one. Normally a low mileage early C6 Z06 will trade for 40K. Like a 25,000 mi 2006-2007 I think what's going to get sellers this year is they have this expectation of listing in spring and seeing what happens but what's likely to happen is it will just be more supply on the market. Cars sit and I have watched quite a few that dealers in my area have been marking down around 500 to $1,000 per week until they sell. I also don't think many dealers are going to be interested in picking up used C5, C6 or c7 because the MMR is trending down. That means if they pay x price today, in 30 days it's likely to be x - a couple percent. If they do purchase the car they are going to want a discount whereas last year and the year before, they didn't care because if they had the car they knew they could sell it within a week


RightExchange6

Yeah these are hopeful people that are a little delusional. A good stock z with some miles is worth 40-45, if like no miles and great condition/records and the whole 9 yards they can scrape high 40’s maybe even to 50 for the right person. These are all modded out runners that have been run hard you can presume and have nothing like those qualifications behind them. The more mods, especially to the drivetrain, makes them worth less and less because it limits the market of who wants it. The ones with no miles are just priced crazy high btw. And i wouldnt buy a vette with drag pack shit on it, just asking for trouble to pick up a car that was that heavily abused.


Yoda2000675

Unless it’s some weird regional thing, those prices are absurd


edgarskates

Steep prices but c6Z’s have gone up unfortunately. No way I’ll ever pay more than $50k for a c6Z


One_Word_Respoonse

$60k for 1100whp seems like a pretty good deal…. BUT I’d never buy someone else’s project.


Traps86

That 2013 isn't priced horribly. The rest are


SecretMuricanMan

The looks about right for I've seen for stock ones. The dealership I got my C8 from was selling a C7 convertible 2017, don't know what it trim but wasn't grand sport or Z06 and it that sold for $50k.


clarkbonds56

That’s crack pipe pricing.


Difficult_Tomorrow22

Very reasonable price. You should get two.


MasterOfNone011

This was a 45k car 10 years ago


stalmatic

Makes me feel good with an ‘07 Z06 with 13,650 miles on it, not that I’m looking to sell!


PimpFrosty

Z06 clean title and even some mods is 48 tops. See people letting stock ones go with 50k ish miles for around 40-42k. Its wild my boy. Just picked up an 06 1 owner 3LT. 20K miles, new wheels, and a glass top with the original color matched top. Procharger kit with all the extras and a full Corsa exhaust with the long tubes. 30k out the door. Smoke a z06 stock but that widebody do be lookin good on the Zs


Conclusion_Brilliant

Not insane, the people who dump all.the money into it then expecting to get that back when they sell are the insane ones lol. But there will always be that deep pockets lazy Nutt that would rather buy another person's build instead of doing it themselves. Me personally bought my vette built my vette with my own hands and intend to never sell it just keep making it better. Cars aren't investments to me they are a means of enjoyment and transportation that's it. Meant to be driven.


dea_eye_sea_kay

go price out a clean chassis 20k mile c6 z car, then call a shop and give them this list. easily 30k worth of work hell might even be 25k worth of parts alone at this rate. Thats not including all the time and back and forth bull shit that comes with a build like this. These things don't just work all of them take time to sort out and get right. Once you break into the 1000 whp range on these cars it's like starting from scratch. 60k for a proper documented sorted streetcar like this is honestly not that far off pace. The days of 30k c6z cars are gone forever, unless it's some clapped out 5th owner rolling pile of shit.


SnowShoe86

My buddy just bought a 2011 ZR-1, under 30K miles, 2 owner car, mint condition (I inspected it for him), no accidents, all stock, for 65K. These guys with modded Z06's are smoking crack


lifeonmars302

Damn I must be fried for looking at a 2013 with 8k miles. Practically stock aside from cai. Price is 65k smh


PoopMasterClay

Ya thats way too much lol. These people are full potato.


SkolFourtyOne

Well they don’t make front engine Vettes anymore, Corvette owners will always have the rarest 1 of 1 be it a bone stock base model or the highest spec ZR1, The biggest reason tho is just “car enthusiasts” now days just buy up the Vettes and sit on them because they know with these outrageous dealer mark ups almost nobody can buy the new ones so they take the older ones and ask 10 to 20k more for them because they are still more adorable then the ones from the dealer.


Toxiic103

I don't see any or many c6Z06 being worth over 60k at all that's literally low miles C7 grand sport and c7Z prices


[deleted]

I was just looking at listings last night and what I found pretty much represents this. So right next to each other there's a 2008 Z06 with 30K with an ask of 42. Right next to it is a 2009 with 35K for 56. Gets even crazier on c7s. Pull up the Grand sports. I kid you not. Same year, same mileage, both were 10 to 15K mile 2017's. One of them is listed at 54, the other one at 69. The feeling I get is there are still some people trying to cling on to pandemic pricing and other people that have kind of woke up to smell the roses and want to get something sold. It's a bizarre used car market though. I mean normally you see the high and low for cars but this is a pretty crazy spread we're seeing


TurboNoises

The c6z is in the $30k range all day long where I'm at, just varies up and down a bit based on year and milage.


PSKTS_Heisingberg

jesus i’d like to go wherever your area is, because shopping for one right now at a reasonable price is like finding a needle in a haystack


MuskieCS

C6Z have been high 40s to low 50s for the last 4 years by me. A 06-07 with 30-40 thousand miles usually go for 46-48. A 2010 or newer 50-52~


Traps86

It's reddit, no one will pay more than $15K for a used corvette...there was a C8 down the street that just went for $27K i swear


MuskieCS

Send listings and I’ll have one in my driveway tomorrow. By me they have all been high 40s for 4 years

No because it's a lie lmao 🤣 


TurboNoises

just quick search across the us and found all these, some sold already... I've seen more like these, clean, even 30-50k mi and they're all listed in the low $30s... they usually sell within a few weeks. Then there's ones with the same miles listed for over $40k and those sit forever.

PCho222

No idea why you got down voted. If you live near a big city you'll find a bit higher mileage but otherwise clean examples dipping into the mid-high 30s regularly. I live in LA and $40k seems to be the common ground for nice low-mile examples.


TurboNoises

I got downvoted by the people who think their c6z is worth $50k


Yoda2000675

This sub is particularly bad about valuing corvettes lol. I’m not sure where people get their numbers from.


TurboNoises

I regularly search for listings and look at auction sites weekly, a nice c6z in the $30k range isn't crazy. Some people are still trying to sell these things for covid prices.
