WTB: Help me get into a cheap c6!
#1
Help me get into a cheap c6!
Hi all,
I had to sell my 02 z06 for financial reasons years ago and have been doing my best to get back into a Vette ever since.
I really would like to move up to a c6, especially a z51 or z06, however I'm not able to afford most lower mileage cars and a z06 is basically out of the question.
So, I'm wondering who has a c6 base or z51 they are willing to get rid of for very cheap? I currently could come up with about $15k, which is not much, but based on book values I'm seeing lately it should be enough to get me into something with higher mileage in good shape.
I'm in buffalo, NY. Willing to travel or have a car shipped if the car's history and condition can be verified remotely somehow.
Let me know what you've got and I hope we can work out a deal!
Thanks,
Dan

Thanks! I just requested to join the group, but I have seen at least one of those cars in another group. Eddie's car was a good option but he can't knock any more off since it's lower miles.
The other 2 look decent, although I really want a 6 speed and stay under 100k miles if possible. 125k+ is where I start to worry about buying someone's headache.

Thanks! Yes I am definitely interested in knowing more! It is quite a distance but there's always ways around that.
Can you give me your email or phone number or something and I can get in touch with you?

Just an update, I've narrowed my criteria a bit. Ideal car would be a 2008+ z51, 6sp manual, under 100k miles. Some modifications are ok but the car has to run and drive well with no major mechanical issues. Clean title in your name as well.
I might consider cars outside of this criteria if it's something cool, like a non z51, or 2005-2007 car that has some nice modifications done the right way to make it perform at or better than a 2008+ z51.
Thanks for reading!

When my c8 arrives sitting at status 3000 ill sell you my 2008 c6 z51 manual with hud and npp for 11 grand.
im 20 minutes north of manhattan and its a one owner car that I bought new,
great car but its worthless because of the miles.
always garaged, always cared for. Clean title. No accidents...
anyone who buys this thing once my c8 arrives is getting a hell of a deal.
dont stop looking because god only knows when c8 production begins again and when my c8 will arrive.
im quarantine bored and since your in buffalo... in case you dont find anything by augest...feel free to shoot me a pm at that point.
im sure youll find one sooner but come august which is my best guess when my c8 rolls in dont hesitate.
this is a great car. So reliable...so wonderful ...i never sold it for a c7 z06...but the c8 rear mid engine this 60 old corvette owner cant resist...
11 grand is chump change and if you twist my arm in august...Ill let it go for 10.8 just to be funny
