Hertz 100th Anniversary Corvette Z06s For Sale on the Cheap
As Hertz manages bankruptcy, they’ve listed several low(ish)-mileage 2019 Corvette ZO6s for sale at only $57,000 to $64,000.
The 2020 C8 Corvette may be the talk of the forum these days, but the C7-era Corvette Z06 remains one of the greatest performance bargains of all time. It’s nothing short of incredible. And there are still a few dozen available new on dealer lots across the country. The only problem? 2019 Z06 sticker prices easily hit the $80,000 to $100,000 range, depending on options. But would you be interested in picking up a rare 1-of-100 Corvette Z06 for only $60,000?
As reported by Business Insider and Jalopnik, Hertz is in the middle of managing bankruptcy and has been flooding the used car market with ex-rental vehicles. This now includes over a dozen 100th Anniversary Edition Corvette Z06s. As of this writing, 17 remain — each one of 100 commissioned for Hertz — with prices ranging from $57,000 to $64,000. Mileage on the Corvettes also ranges from 12,000 to 35,000. Each car features Hertz yellow paint with black stripes and a numbered plaque, while most appear to be auto transmissions, and a few might include the 3LZ trim.

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Hertz brand, a special-edition Corvette model was made available in a few exclusive locations to rent. But now, those used 100th Anniversary Edition Corvette Z06 cars are available to purchase at select stores around the country. With the iconic Hertz yellow tint coat and dual black lines that proudly display the company’s color scheme, this special edition Corvette will help you show your appreciation for a brand that’s been with you every mile of the way. See if there’s a special edition Corvette Z06 near you, and visit Hertz Car Sales today to take a test drive.
Beyond the color scheme, interior stitching and special Hertz badging, this pre-owned special edition of the Corvette Z06 really delivers the goods when it comes to a high-end muscle car. Powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8, the Corvette Z06 delivers an astonishing 650 horsepower with 650 pound-feet of torque, with the car’s underpinnings, shocks and suspension system working in perfect harmony to give you that sports-car feel for the road.
Even if your attention is immediately drawn to its impressive output, the 100th Anniversary Edition Corvette Z06 carries a wealth of features you’ll like having with you out on the road. A premium Bose® 10-speaker audio system delivers crisp and clear sounds, while Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ allow for easy smartphone connectivity. Your infotainment systems are controlled through a clear and easy to use 8-inch touchscreen.
Only 100 – Hertz 100th Anniversary Edition Corvette Z06 models were made, so the quantities are limited at Hertz Car Sales. If this car is for you, make sure your closest Hertz Car Sales location has one in stock, then come in for a closer look and a test drive!
Now, the flip side of this coin is that you can probably find a used 2017 or 2018 Corvette Zo6 for around the same price, and it probably won’t have been abused by random renters. Still, Hertz’s current pricing places these 100th Anniversary Editions at $5,000 to $10,000 under market value, so if you like the color scheme and the idea of owning a Hertz edition, these are a pretty good deal.
If you’re interested, act fast. As I was writing this article, the available number dropped from 19 to 17. What do you think? Would you buy one? Have you already snagged one? Let us know over HERE in the forums!
