Default C6 Values?

I've been curious as to why Haggerty [where my wife's Z06 is insured], and other estimators, seem to overlook the C6 vettes? We bought a yellow 2008 Z06 with under 30k and a 6 speed manual trans, and all we hear about are the C5 values and earlier. Is there a publication where we can see the value of our car and keep site of the value year by year? "My" thought was to take it back to Mecum, make a little profit and get her a vette she can handle. The Z06 with manual shift seems to be a little much for her!

Kbb is more realistic, noones going to pay Hagerty, NADA price.
They will still keep dropping in value sell it sooner rather than later

A car exactly like yours sold for $33,000 at Mecum in January, so once you take out the lot fee and seller's premium where are you? I don't think auctions are the right place for modern Corvettes unless it's an extremely low mile, like <1000, commemorative or rare car that is likely to live in a garage and get trailered to shows for eternity.

If you want to throw out a line and see if someone bites, take some good pics and put an ad here in the C6 for sale section. Before doing so, take a look around at what 2008 Z06s are listed for, no one's overpaying here.

My inexpert opinion, list it for $35k, be prepared to knock off 10%. Especially if you don't have documentation of the heads being done and if the tires aren't like new.

I'm sure this is it. Now it's up to the current owner to realize it's worth somewhere around what I suggested...
