I came across this one today. When my Dad bought a Z a few years ago, he said that he wanted it in this color, I guess this is his chance.

Just thought I'd bring this up to stimulate a little debate about whether everyone likes this or not.

 

I always liked that color on the coupe and roadster and was disappointed it was not offered on the Z06. But now that I see it on the Z I don't know. It just doesn't look right.

Another thing, is it me or does that car look high? Look at the gap between the top of the tires and the fender opening.

 

I agree, something just isnt working for me with the color on the Z.

 

Yeah, it just doesn't look right. And why the EMT's on a C5 Z06? who would WANT to add that?

It`s a beautiful Z06, i`de drive her like the vette she is , some of you OLD-TIMERS need to lighten up...

 

That doesn't look like the mag red although it may be. I'm thinking of painting mine, getting a little tired of the white.

 

Something is NOT right with that car....it does look WAY too high -- even higher than a regular C5. There just seems to be lots of space between the top of the tires and the body.......I'd check the VIN for sure to make sure that its a real Z06........

 

they provide that for free on ebay

I really like that color. You do have to question why they have repainted a car with only 17,000 miles on it though.

Yeah, I've been doing some shoping lately and less than 27k for a 2003 with 17,000 miles is a very low asking price; especially given the fact that the cars been painted which would usually inflate the price at least a little.

...has anyone ever seen a Z painted that dark grey color? I think that would be awesome.

 

I love the color. Wouldn't stop me if the price is right and it checks out.

 

A Z with Runflats, and it s burgundy

 

Sell me or trade me your white car before you paint it!

We thought the same thing.

 

Now I know the add says Burgundy, but unless I'm colorblind, it's certainly a mix between Carmine and Sangria...

...oh yeah. I'll take that white Z as well.

 

I saw this car advertised on AutoTraderOnline back in March.

The CarFax report didn't look good but I called anyway. The car salesman told me that not only had it been painted a maroon color but that the quality of the paint was very poor. It was even lifting in some places. He made no excuses for it and seemed willing to accurately describe the cosmetic condition of the car.
He sent a few pictures and the sure enough the paint was just as bad as he described, the interior was FILTHY, the tires were spent, etc.
Based on those pictures, the car looked like it had been abused for 217,000 miles not jsut 17,000. The pictures he sent must have been pre-detail photos. The lowest offer they would accept at the time as $25,500.
Even IF the car is a mechanical 10 of 10, (seems unlikely), it would cost an additional $5000 to $8000 to have the car stripped and repainted.

Based on the photos shown in the eBay ad it looks like they have put some effort into making the car look better. Perhaps they had it touched up, color sanded, and buffed to remove some of the paint flaws. The interior certainly looks cleaner but I can still see evidence that the carpet was/is nasty. The passenger seat even appears to have more wrinkles than whats typical for the rarely used passenger side of these cars.

I have a feeling that this car ran away from home and became a **** star at an early age.
