under that starts getting into great deal territory....which is great if you can do so. sometimes blown motors are hard to sell as the cars are kind of an enthusiast only thing. this allows you to build any engine you want and have a nice nice car
5k will build a nice engine if you shop wise, plus you have a lot of good parts on that engine

if the car is in good overall shape 15k has been the low and 17.5 the higher side for private party
if you replaced all the hoses, cooling system, shocks, new brakes, tires etc the 17 mark would be about right. If it needs some work and updating it's probably going to be closer to 15
19 will basically sit for a long time...most likely anyway

18k plus or minus

In general, a running 02 with 101k miles MIGHT fetch as much as $17k but an 02 with a blown engine and low overall miles should fetch about $18k? I know low miles command a premium but I wouldn't think to the tune of a new engine. Or were you taking into account regional pricing differences? I could TOTALLY be wrong but I'd think that if i was buying a Z with the intention of at least a complete motor rebuild I'd be either expecting a LOT of extras or a price tag well below book value.

I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm just totally confused regarding your position now.

the 101k mile car was complete so 15-17k is what the market says they often sell for
the low mile car has a popped motor and may only need 1 new piston if the sleeve isn't cracked. if he can get away with a ball hone, new piston and get it running 18k is cheap. if it has a cracked sleeve you could argue toward 17 but that's 5-6k under going rate which can build you a brand new engine

a 23k mile car would fetch 22k if it was a good color combo, maybe 23. if bought you have to only build a long block and clutch. since a lot of guys want to mod the cars anyway this gives you the car 4-5k under going rate. a full blown race bottom end from ERL is $3850 and he can pull the heads off of the old engine and the entire top end to create a motor. for 3850 he could have a 408ci bottom end with wiseco pistons and compstar rods. port the heads himself and add a cam of choice for a pretty hot combo. there are other ways to maximize your money even further but buying

I test-drove a 2004 Z06 with 12k miles at my local Mazda dealer prior to buying my 17k-mile 2003... they were asking $34k and wouldn't come down to NADA retail

Close to $30k? At least some C5Zs are actually worth close to $30k... some of these guys are asking OVER $30k on mildly modified base cars

I would be surprised but since I'm moving from C5Z to a CTS-V Wagon and have been watching what dealers are trying to do with those cars, I now know ANYTHING is possible.

[QUOTE=fisher auto;1589263542]OK not trying to steel thread, but how about an 01' with 138k on it and has an accident on it, but I know the repair was done by a reputable shop???
[/QUO I see were your coming from BUT I think in the wrong spot go to C-5 Corvettes for sale Prop. do better over there ..

when you start talking salvage cars condition is everything. i have seen some early z06s that need work, salvage titles sell 7-8k
a very clean car with a salvage title and good repair by a good shop is probably closer to that 11-12 mark
personally i wouldn't buy it unless you can get a screaming deal. resale will be hard and you won't want to sink money into it
really just too many angles to guess online. condition of the engine, clutch, body, all that factors in

depends on condition HEAVILY, somewhere under 12 and as low as 6

it will sell for more than 9 on ebay
accident doesn;t mean much unless it goes salvage
if it's a 1 owner low mileage car accidents can mean something but on a 138k mile 01 it's all about current condition

if it's a clean title, again, condition but 13ish has been a common close on an 01 with that mileage. a really clean one maybe 14k if it needs a clutch and tires meaning you have to tow it home probably 11-12

if it's really rough. maybe
at first i thought he meant it needed a clutch. then it's more the clutch was just done.
clean ones have been going pretty strong even at 100k on ebay

bottom one is a bit rough and the supercharger adds a good 2k to the price still making it a 12-13k car rough
there was one with 298k miles that sold last year for 9k
i still think without pics and history there's no way to accurately guess
