With a salvage title probably around 17-18K unfortunately. Lots of nice clean cars in the low 20's....

Salvage title makes it just about worthless. It will always be a salvage, and once that puppy hits 100K miles you won't be able to give it away. My guess is it is worth what you can part it out for... doors, hood, ect, whatever was not damaged.

You do a bunch of guessing and don't check or provide any facts. There have been quite a few Z06's with a salvage title and 100k+ sell over 10k. Now this was about 2 years ago but I sold a 1997 C5 with 125k auto salvage title with a bad repaint and a few other issues for $8700.00. It was a light front hit. Back then there were almost no C5's in that range.


Anyways probley around 14k-15k. I would find out where the car was hit and it was a front impact that might be a dealer breaker. Theft or rear hit and I would consider it but put it up on a rack and have someone with experiance that you trust take a close look at it.

My guess is around $15K - the salvage title doesn't help it at all IMO.

I looked at a completely stock '03 Electron Blue Z06 with 91K miles selling for $15,900 about 6 months ago. It was a one owner car with a clean title, no accidents and no paintwork but needed tires, needed full maintenance and had the original clutch & battery but new brakes. Surprisingly the interior was in pretty good condition. Based on that car and that the car you are looking at has a salvage title with 60K miles, I would say $10k-$11K depending on the condition IMO.
I personally would not buy a car with a salvage title. I also would not buy a Z06 with 91K miles. I happened to see the car for sale passing the owners house and stopped to take a look. The car was gone in a few days.

With the prices C5's are going for I can't see any reason to buy one with any problems let alone one that never goes away (salvage title).
