Nice looking car, I wouldn't worry about the ZR1 badges as they are only held on tape. Buy it & take the badges off.

even though it may or may not be faster than a ZR1......those fake badges ruin the car....poser!

Price is way too high. At the end of the day, it is still a 2006. The used car value on that car should be around 27-30 in my opinion for a pristine retail used car value. The wheels and widebody kit would have cost around $6,500.00, probably another $3,000 for painting (at the high end). The supercharger would have been $7,000 and the hood another $1,000.00. and the exhaust ~$1,200.00. The owner seems to think that he will recoup 100% of retail on these items installed. The removable roof panel came free with the car.

While it looks like a beautifully done makeover and I'm sure it's got the horses to back it up, if you can get fifty cents back on the dollar for performance mods I personally think you are doing very well. Using that logic and pricing the car at the high end of my retail range it would be worth $39,350.00 to me.

Exactly what I was thinking. 50K for a blown wide-bodied 06?

Except maybe it should not be more that 30-35K max.

I agree with this guy, Just because you "PIMP" it out doesn't mean he its worth 50k. F that, I built a supercharged vette with 28k thats including me buying the car

Raazor

I agree with everyone else. He'll never find a buyer.

And that car's in serious need of a front splitter

Manny350Z

I agree you all have valid points,however I think you might have missed the fact that Im in Canada where everything costs alot more

A new GS is 75K plus and a new Z06 is 85K plus..with that being said..I think if I can get the car for 45k i will be happy.


The main reason for my post was to find out if anyone knew this car,its an original US car...has some major mods so I figured someone in the Corvette Forum might have owned it.


I will keep you guys posted tomorrow

inspect the inside of the rear fender wells carefully.... rubber stack?

Look at those massive rear brakes on that monster!!



It needs the ZR1 badges OFF it and it needs a ZR1 front splitter ON it.
Price is still too high, even for a Canadian car, I think.

Racer

My above post was done without reading yours, hmm great minds think a like.

Racer

Must say, a lot of people here are posting about the price being waay high, although they are correct about the price being high, it is not as high as they think. The OP is in Canada, the Canadian prices are a lot higher here, so I think the US guys numbers are out of range a wee bit.

Buzz approves of the latest Avatar

Even a Canadian won't pay that much for an '06...and they are used to paying more for everything...

Racer

and that is what I said in my original post, price is too high.

and yes we do.

Nash09

Just for your info there is a 2006 Z06 advertised for C$49 000 in Kelowna

Snake.Oiler

Amen, to that!

talon90

Yep, saw that you were in Canada but it didn't click with me about the outrageous prices you have to pay.

laconiajack

If you've seen one clone you've seen them all. Grand Sport or a fake ZR1, whats the difference?

Rear brakes are definitely sad. At least it would be easy to clean the wheels.

I know things are more expensive in Canada but $50k is a little out there. In the states it would be somewhere in the $20-30k range. Does it cost $20k to import a used car into Canada? (I'm asking that as a question as I don't know.)
