C6 hunting, anyone know of any

[stangin4lyfe]

Just came across this yesterday and thought about your post...

I've seen couple really clean ones listed for $32-33k. I'll post some deals up if I happen to run into some

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!

or he is a bitch.. my z51 car rides just fine
its a VETTE.. not a freakin civic... lol

[White_lightning]

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!

you looking for bone stock .. or modded?

For the right price any car is for sale

*hint hint*

That's exactly what I was thinking. It's a sports car; it's going to ride stiffer than your average family hauler.

I hear it from old farts all the time "OMG the ride on this corvette isnt as smooth as my lexus.

well.. because its not a LEXUS.. it's a sports car.. if you wanted something with a caddy ride... should have bought a caddy...

stangin4lyfe, thanks for the lead that black car looks great, thinking about whether I want to go black again (previous 2 c5's were black). White Lightning shot you a pm, thx fellas!

What's funny is its the tires. My dad's car rides horrible with GY Supercar runflats, on the PS2s it rides like his BMW... Its that much different.

Not sure if you found one yet, but I noticed a 2007 Lingenfelter C6 with 70k miles for $29,995 the other day. I have no idea if it was really a Lingenfelter or what something like that would even be worth. The salesman was trying to sell me on "600hp". If I get some free time, I'll go check it out better.

Should have updated this thread, bumped into a white e46 m3 that I liked and made a decent deal on (spent about 1/2 the would-be c6z budget). So basically I got a lesser car, but I really like it anyway

Good for you, congrats on the car!

Thanks (added pic)! Bit of a learning-curve (new to me platform) but I like what I see so far. The main stuff is pretty straight forward, I like the I6 motor (both layout and power), SMG transmission is fun to use, and the car came w/ a few mods (Dinan intake and exhaust, struts/shocks, C/C plates, springs, sway bars, other suspension bits), I also have brand new rubber all the way around.

I'm a good ways away, but @ 60k it will need a fairly thorough maintenance, plenty of time for saving on that though.

So ya, pretty stoked so far, really fun car to drive and I think it looks pretty nice too!

A c5 FRC with ls3 swap and suspension would be the only vette that could win my heart over that m3.

Nice looking car. C6 prices are a little inflated right now. I can't seem to find one for a good price. I bought an 05 with 45kmi almost 4 years ago for $25k and they are still going for about that now.

Never shoulda sold the car.
