Default I need some opinions....

I have 2002 Torch Red/Mod Red Z06 with less than 3200 miles. The car has never been in the rain and is in immaculate condition. What is the value of this car? I know that it is kind of a specialty car with the low mileage....therefore I know it will take the "right" person to buy it for more than the typical Kelly Blue Book Value. Please give me some insight to what I am holding on to here.

Thanks!

By the way...does anybody know the build numbers for '02 red on red Z06's?

Brock

I just bought a 2003 torch red / red mod Z06 with under 12k miles on it. I say visit KBB, Edmunds, and carsdirect.com and check out the going prices. Most sites let you include mileage and location to figure the going rates. Sure you get a boost in price for really low miles and perfect condition, but I would guess its a few thousand versus ten thousand. Plus, I think there are several out there with low mileage. Alot of people keep their vette a garage queen. That's my 2 cents.

Brock,
..My 2002 had 9000 miles on it when I bought it for $30K six weeks ago. I would think yours is worth a couple thousand more.

Where were you at two months ago? I love the torch red cars with the mod interiors. LOL!

I just bought my 2001 torch red Z06 (black interior) for $31,250. It had only 3,277 miles on it and has never seen anything in the way of less than ideal weather. The car is flawless except for one stupid rock chip on the hood. (The previous owner was so upset about this that he was able to tell me the entire "rock chip story" in full detail.)

I would guess that I paid a little on the high side for my car, but I really wanted an ultra low mileage Z06 with full documentation to start with. Maybe I was one of those "right buyers."

I bought a red 2002 Z06 with 1,400 miles on it for $33.5 back in Feb. Winter might have helped the pricing. It also came with $1000 of stuff--floor mats, hood mat??, trunk dividers, laser lettering on back, shorty antenna, etc.

Prices escalate as summer approaches.

I was one of the lucky ones....My house lost two shingles and I never even lost electricity.

Sounds like you got a good deal....

Do any of you know how rare my car is with the red on red color combo?

I don't think you paid on the high side..... Plus, cars are worth what each individual is willing to pay for them.

Very subjective question. I looked all over Atlanta for 6 months at "immaculate" condition cars that were in horrible condition in my opinion.

It's all in the eye of who is looking.

I ended up finding a sweet 2003 Yellow Z06 in MI, with 3800 miles on it and gladly paid $34,500 last fall and had it shipped down. Your car sounds similar in condition and with the right buyer could pull the mid-30's

Good luck.

I bet you were glad to pay that......What did it cost you to get it shipped? Was it everything the owner said it was?

Brock (brok en record??) Just making fun of you. Must be frustrating to keep asking the same question.

Do a search here. About 3 or 4 months ago, someone posted a frequency count of each color for certain years. That search will likely review the URL that keeps up with those #s. Keep trying. Also, try posting the same question in a diff part of the forum.

Really, we are not trying to ignore you. You just have not located the right person or thread.

Good luck.
