salvage titled Black 2009 C6 Z51 M6..29k miles near Springfield Mass
After thinking about it alot over this winter i think im going to try and sell my Corvette.
I bought it in april after selling my 2005 GTO , this is my first corvette and i love it to death but i think i want to try something new, maybe a Mercedes or Lexus. I am moving in a few months to cape cod for work and dont have a garage to put this in, and i really wont be able to enjoy the car like it should be enjoyed. The car runs 100% and if i didnt tell you it has a salvage title you would never guess.
Car was stolen back when it had 3000 miles on it, so this is a theft recovery. This is NOT a flood recovery, and was NEVER involved in a major accident. The car had minor damage to the drivers side rear quarter panel, and drivers side rear rim. The damage totaled 4 grand, i had the original insurance papers around here when i first bought it and i will have to see if i can find them. The quarter panel and rim were replaced with OEM, and the work was professionally done, i know a few body guys and to this day even if i tell them where the damage was, they cannot tell a repair has been done.
The car is in fantastic condition.
C6 Z51
Chrome rims (currently plasti-dipped black)
Mild 2 Wild
B&B Fusion exhaust
LG Headers with Hi-flow cats
K&N Cold Air Intake
Black Leather interior
Carbon fiber Dash
Brand new Ventus V12 tires with maybe 2k miles on them
Runs smooth, everything operates as it should. I have never had any problems with this car.
I have all OEM Exhaust components besides mufflers to go with the car.
I will let anybody who is interested inspect it, or pay to have it inspected by a pro, ill jack the car up and you can inspect anything youd like. I dont want anybody to feel that i am hiding anything. I have a New York title in hand with the word "salvage" on it ready to go. I will upload a few pictures i have on my computer, and when i get home next week i will take the car out of storage and take some more pictures
I feel that asking 24k is more than fair, but come take a look at it and we can negotiate. Trades are an option let me know what you have

Lol....I was thinking about your offer for a trade, but I have a 2005 GTO as well. Not sure if you'd want to go back to your same model car, but mine only has 6900 miles on it, but a lot of work done to it, to include full exhaust, cam, ported intake and throttle body, as well as an extra set of OEM 18' rims and stuff from the Holden division.

aw man, why couldn't you wait another month or so to post this (when i have cash)? never tried to get a loan out for a salvaged vehicle, but sounds like it sucks....figures, i have the worst timing. good luck with your sale!

now why would you guess that? in this case the only thing a salvage title does is affect if you can get a loan for my car, everything else about the car is perfect. like i said you can inspect my car head to toe take off the wheels etc. you wont find anything fishy. i still have the original window sticker for the car, the original front licence plate holder and everything. Vin# 1G1YY25W495106674 if you google it all the original photos come up from when the car was first getting sold by the insurance company. theres no photos of damage anywhere, and there used to be an ebay listing from the previous owner listing it there, bidding got up to 28,000 dollars. so i would say your guess of below 20k is not accurate
And who the hell would bid 28,000 for a Salv title theft and damaged car when a clean title could be found for high twentees or lower 30,000
car looks clean though, GLWS.

Most thefts are for joy-rides or end up in accident situations. You also have to be aware of how the theft occured, was a window broken and dash torn open to "hot-wire" it?
My buddy in highschool had his IROC-Z stolen from his parents drive-way but the keys were above the visor, so no damage outside of the theives beating the hell out of it. It was recovered the next morning, so he got a couple thosand $ payment from his insurance to offset some preventative maintenance (trans/rear/engine flushes) but he got his car back and never had to disclose it to the next owner.
As for $4k being minor, it doesn't take much at all to rack up that kind of a bill, you'd be surprised.

The OP stated that one rear quarter panel and one wheel were replaced with OEM. Heck, that's probably $2,000 in parts right there. Add in professional install and paint and you're at $4,000.
This could be a great buy for someone...especially someone who actually plans on driving the car and putting some miles on it. The car already has a sweet exhaust setup on it, too.
