Not exactly what I'm looking for but if this car was closer to me, I'd seriously consider looking at it...

2006 Base, Z51, 6M, LeMans Blue, 60k miles, Clean Title, no reported wrecks, appears stock... $22,500

Looks like this private seller may have bought it for an advertised price of $22,999 back in July of 2019 with 45k miles...

Case-and-point, there's going to be relativity decent deals like this that pop up. Just got to be patient.

I see numerous C6 AND C7 Corvettes at local car dealers and are price WAY above what KBB has them at..needless to say,they have all been sitting on their lots since the beginning of summer.

Diving back into Corvette ownership after my BMW M6 convertible bit the big one - drowned in the Great Arizona Deluge of 2021...<crying> - came across this 2013 GS with only 7600 miles and couldn't resist getting rid of the interim Edge ST (too big and two too many doors!) in favor of this beauty. Just picked it up tonight and already hoping I can get out this weekend into the mountains without fighting too much holiday traffic.

Love the 1-of-25 Inferno Orange!!!

That seems like a pretty good offer! Look what they offered me for my 2012 base coupe 3LT auto, with 55k miles. I just laughed!

I think they reversed the 3 and 1. I am looking for a C6 under $25k. I keep finding black ones. I spent the last 6 1/2 years keeping a black car clean.

Mine wasn't as absurd as the $14k offer, but I still wouldn't even consider letting my '11 GS 3LT 6M go for this low. The other '11 GS 3LT's with low mileage are listed over $40k. I believe they should make a profit but not $10k. Doesn't matter, I don't plan on selling - just checked for the fun of it.

Because of the high prices, in April 2021, I purchased a totaled 2007 C-6, and rebuilt it myself. New tires, brakes, used fenders, hood, and front "bumper"......Decided to go all out and installed an A & A supercharger kit, ported and polished Z06 heads and cam. Lots of work, especially in the summer in Phoenix (it was hot to say the least, but my portable A/C unit did help). Accomplished all of this in my extra with the car single car garage on jack stands, and a LOT of up and down with bad knees....ugh! However, it was worth every minute of work, especially when you have that boost available! Total investment is $23K.......yes it's a rebuild title, but I don't care one bit......it's a great deal of fun!

It's true that the prices of certain Corvette models, including the C5 Z06 and C6, have increased in recent years. This is partly due to the popularity of these models among collectors and enthusiasts, as well as the limited supply of well-maintained examples. However, it's important for buyers to be cautious and do their research here https://www.kereta.shop/ before paying an inflated price for a car. It's possible that some sellers are asking for more than what the car is worth, and buyers should be wary of overpaying for a car that may not hold its value over time. As with any major purchase, it's important to do your due diligence and negotiate a fair price based on the car's condition and market value.
