Default Traded my 06 Z06 for a new 2016 Z06

Well I finally did it. After 6 great years with my 06 Z I traded it in on a brand new Z06. The new one is Long Beach Red and is a blast to drive. 7 speed manual. I rarely keep a newer Corvette more than 2 years but the 06Z was always fun to drive and plenty fast. I will always remember that car as the best Vette I've ever had. Nothing ever went wrong with it. Hope I enjoy the new one as much.

Very nice! I hope you get as much enjoyment out of that Z06 as you did the C6Z.

Thanks. I thought they were very fair on the trade in. My 06 Z was very clean with 27,000 miles on it. I got the new one at dealer invoice and the 06 was not too far from what I could have sold it for. I am pleased with Masse. I was there for their big show today. 550 Corvettes. My 06 was already sold. One day. They got a great Z.

I'm not sure what to do with the plate. It's a z but not a 427. I may just stick with it as good luck since I never put the old Z in the woods

Awesome car and color. I just opted for the new Camaro SS convertible with the LT 1. Its a wedding present for my new wife. The Zo6 didn't fit her as well. But I still have my 09 Z06. I believe these cars will be the most sought after cars in the future
Enjoy
