C6 hunting, anyone know of any

[ScottJ]

Seems like corevetteforums and z06vette forums are kinda dead for the used c6 market. Anyone know of a decent source?

I'm looking for either a older Z06, or newer non-Z, but I suppose I'd look at older non-Z's too. Budget up to low 40's, thx!

A friend of mine had a 2009 and said it rode like shit. It had 26k miles on it he had it for 2 months before he traded it in. He said it was the worst car he has ever owned.

My old roommate just sold his '08(LS3) Jetstream blue 6 speed w/68k for $26k! Once those C7s hit the streets, the market for C6s is going to go down even more. You can find brand new Grandsports in the 40's. I'd hold-out a little longer unless you find a smokin' deal. Are you coming back to Texas?

Must have been a Z51/Z06. They do ride a little rough, but a base C6 rides pretty good IMO. It's no Cadillac, but I'd never say an '09 Corvette is the worst car I've ever owned either!

I have the best luck on the two sites you mentioned. I'm waiting to see what the c7 does to the c6 z06 market.

[ScottJ]

In Tx now actually forgot to tell you that

So if there were a 06-07 Z that isn't yellow or red, that'd probably be my ideal candidate.

Maybe I should wait until the C7's hit. When is that happening?

Later this year.

The final C6 came off the assembly line within the last week. They are gearing-up for C7 production right now, so I predict a couple months. One of my good friends has an '07 black/black Z06 w/NAV (2LZ or 3LZ) w/6x,000, I'll see if he might want to sell. It's stock w/window tint & polished factory wheels.

Me too. I've been looking for a base auto c6 for a while on the cheap. Haven't found a good deal on one that wasn't black or yellow. The only three colors I won't own are black/yellow/red. I looked for a zo before I purchased my gt500 and the only great deals I ever found were yellow, but apparently someone out there likes yellow cars.

[ScottJ]

I see lots of yellow too!

I would wait too... C6 values will drop sharply once the C7's hit the streets.

[Snatch Napkin]

There's a c6 and a c5 at Hyundai of Longview. I do not know any specifics other than the c5 is maroon. I want to say the c6 was blue.

[bluecollar]

Starting the hunt for a C6 as well. I would definitely wait until the C7 hits (mid-summer) and see what it does to the market.

And hell, my C5 was yellow, I wouldn't mind a yellow C6! Always got compliments.

I was wondering.
