2006, 2009, 2013 c6 prices...
thinking of getting a c6 z06....
preferably a clean, fairly low miles car, black, red, silver in that order.
as a baseline, i see dealers advertising $14,000 - 18500 off of MSRP (actually some of them say invoice) for new 2013's.
if that is true, a base, no option black 1lz z06 retails at $68000; what is the cheapest you can get one for? $54,000 and I'll just buy a new one.
a clean 2006 ranges from a best i have seen of about $32k, to ASKING prices in the mid 40's. What do you think I should find one for now? If I could find one in the mid $30's, that would be well worth it.... however, mid 40's is getting awfully close to a new one in today's market.
a 2009 seems like the first year of a combination of improvements worth much (07 has axles, 08 the trans, but 09 also has new programming which hopefully helps). An 09 would be worth at least $3000 more than an 06 to me.
what should an 09 go for?
and do we expect them all to drop significantly this fall when the 07's hit?
thoughts are appreciated.

Just a random thought...not really answering any of your questions...
If I'm looking at a used Z06 and it has a GMPP warranty with it (or still has the ability to add a GMPP warranty), I consider that a huge selling factor.

According to the price guides,
a 2006 Z06 1LZ with 30K miles = $36,200 retail
a 2009 Z06 1LZ with 30K miles =$47,900 retail
Of course, this is just a guideline, but should be in the ballpark

As far as prices, you can look at the ads here, Ebay, craigslist, and other websites. Then you can choose. I chose to buy a 2006 car with low miles and showroom condition for less than half of new MSRP, but that is not the right choice for everyone. It is up to you.
Just because someone here thinks a certain car should sell for a certain price doesn't mean you can find one.

Update
I figurd $54 was too good to be true. But low 60's is definitely possible for a new 2013.
Still, the mechanical parts of the car are all i really care about, and they have not changed much and should go a long time. The interior and electonics will get yanked and done right at the first sign of trouble. Thus i am seriously considering an older car.
