Default C7 to Z06

Anyone trade a Z51 stingrary coupe on a non-Z07 Z06 3LZ?

My car has 6k miles and I am quoted $35 k OTD. Thoughts?
Thanks!

35k on trade? -- What did your C7Z51 sticker at and what did you pay? It seems to me a fair depreciation would be 75 cents to $1 per mile times 6000 miles = 4 to 6k less than what you paid.

what you ultimately settle for all depends on how bad you want the z06. one suggestion is to sell yours outright and order or hold out for a 2016. ---- Chevy will have worked out the kinks with heat soak, performance, making the 1st year of the 7speed manual and a8 automaitic better.

My Z was $95k and I traded a 14 Z51 3lt vert with 500 miles for
$30k so I would say you are close.

To be perfectly honest I don't remember, I'd have to look at the window sticker. I purchased it used with 3k miles for $64k.

My Z51 had 4,600 miles. I paid 72k new and I got 66k on trade in. I went back and forth several times with them to get that too. They stayed low until I got pre approved an I told them I'll sign today for this much or no deal. I wanted 68k, but came down to 66k. I bought a 2LZ with everything on it for 87k. I paid a little more probably for the Z06 than I should have but I wanted it bad and they worked with me on mine. Good luck!

Oh that's not bad then... so basically you're down 10k (thru depreciation and dealer's trade-in appraisal). When I traded-in my Z51 Conv (msrp was 72k), I was quoted 62k and of course the tax trade-in advantage also helped... my Z06 sticker was 81K but I got my Z51 via employee pricing (63k) and I also got a 1k GM rebate back in December. Good luck, you'll also like the Z...

I'm on the fence because I know I will absolutely love the Z06 but I should enjoy the Stingray a little more before throwing that depreciation away... Tough call...

Don't over fret nor lose sleep if you don't pull the trigger... the Stingray is still an awesome C7. As you know it's powerful, has similar amenities as the Z06, and it's always fun to drive plus IMO it's arguably the best bang for the buck overall since its entry price is much lower than the Z06. So keep on enjoying it... get off the Z06 subforum too, it won't help!

If I didn't get employee pricing on my Z51, I would have stronger reserves on trading-it in for the Z06 particularly due to dealers quoting wholesale values most of the time... after all they do have to resell via retail or dispose via auctions/Manheim.
