If the scratch will buff out, wtf doesn't the persn spend $49 to sell a car for $50k?

I agree. I wonder if dad has seen son's advertising effort.

[Velox65]

All depends on the scratch, a scratch to some is a gouge to others. Then again not caring to try is another story all together.

[sleepy]

He's asking 19K too much for it.

[james brady]

Sleepy, I don't know where you get your info but I don't think you can buy a 07 z06 for 30 grand If you can I will take It. Should be able to buy for 40 to 42 though!

[sleepy]

Around 40 from a dealer. But selling on cracklist? 30K tops.

[james brady]

what craigs list point me to them!

[sleepy]

Asking price and what they can get are two different things.
Think about it. Would you buy a very expensive car off cracklist from a private party? You don't know what that car has been through. I've seen flood cars and totals sold with clean titles because the state screwed up the paper work. People with paid off cars totaled and bought back from the insurance company selling them with the original title, NOT the salvage title they get from the insurance company.
At least if you get it from a dealer you can sue the dealer for selling a salvage car with a clean title.

I have a 07 z06, best performance car I have ever owned and I have owned alot of them. I just want to see one advertized for 30 grand on Craigs list or anywhere else. don't think they are out their, If they are Show me!

You won't find one for 30 because they aren't out there at that price. Base model, maybe...Z06, no.

I do it all the time.

Its not because the paper work was screwed up...its intentional. Its called title washing. Several ways to do it but the most popular around here is to have a MS rebuilt title issued...then accidently loose it and request a replacement. The replacement is clean...then you can carry it to any other state you want and they will issue a clean title on it. I see it ALL THE TIME (I am in AL.)

Hmmm...never heard of that one. Most of the time the insurance company demands the title before they will pay off a total loss claim. And even if they didnt that title would be dead and the subsequent salvage title would replace it (they have things at the DMV called computers that keep track of all the VINs and titles associated with them), and you would not be able to register the the car in your name using that title. There for the transaction would be fraudulent.

Thats why you ALWAYS run a carfax...titles are easy to wash but it will show up on a carfax as having a salvage history. And dont give me that not everything shows on a carfax line...a total loss or salvage title will show up. A minor accident that didnt go through ins to fix might not a but a total loss will.

Try finacing a car and see if a carfax isnt the first thing they do on it.

But if it makes you feel better paying dealer prices for a car (and in most states extra taxes and fees because its from a dealer and not an individual) then go ahead.

I can tell you dont buy and sell very many cars. I just sold a 05 C6 Corvette (not even a Z) with 46,000 for $27,500. So again PLEASE show me where I can get a 07 Z with 12K miles on it for $30K. I will take 3....sell two and have $0 in the third one. You cant even find very many C5 Z06s with that many miles on them for $30K.

[Old Blue 66]

Nothing wrong with puttting the car on CL. Its hot car and it might find a quick buyer.

I hate to to your guys but hes right on the money for that car. I just checked Manheim and they sold a dozen of them at auctions across the country with 20k and under miles and they all went low to mid 40's. Thats wholesale. This guy is negotiable at 50K retail.

[69goatboy]

Yep, the prevailing "buy-it-now" price on e-rape is low to mid 40's for an 07 z06.

Hmmm...where? The prevailing price to me looks to be high $40s to low $50s, with the exception below I dont see a single low 40s BIN.

13 cars listed...8 with BINs:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007-...item5ae63ec5cd

18,973 miles - BIN $47995

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/07-CO...item231c8e552d

3,101 - BIN $49977

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007-...item231c9ea8bb

13,918 - BIN $49,800

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007-...item1c25de3330

18,916 - BIN $50995

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007-...item3a72e5f53b

6,359 - $54,900

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FLORI...item3a738b92ca

10,300 - BIN $48,900.00


Only one thats MID $40Ks

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007-...item3cc5785d0d

6,397 - BIN $45,900.00

And then this huge exception...but that wing alone takes $10K off the price to most people:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007-...item27c637abaa

77,400 - BIN $37000


And maybe this is the one Sleepy was getting his pricing from...its $25,900:

I can ASK 20K for my 90 vette. Doesn't mean it will sell for that price(unless some fool wants it that bad).

OK...obviously you are right the car would only sell for $30K. Never mind OLD BLUE just pointed out a dozen that SOLD at wholesale auction for low to mid $40s.

I sure wish you had a 07 Z06 rather than that 90 though....I would love to buy it from you...I wouldnt even try to jew you down!

[james brady]

sleepy the facts are that 07 z06's will bring 40 to 45 thousand, their are no 30 thousand 07 zo6's out their!

[sleepy]

After a check of car soup.com they don't have ANY vettes under 11k listed. That's twice what my wife got mine for. Maybe I should list mine for 30K and take the butt kicking from the wife for selling my anniversary gift?

[carcrazy]

Friend of mine sold his 2007 Z06 for just under 50k about 6 months ago (private party sale). It had less than 20k and mint!

Agree that the Z06 is a great performance car.
