FS: 2006 Coupe Z51, etc.

Gearhead Jim · 06-29-2009, 10:07 PM

2006 Corvette Coupe, Victory Red exterior, Titanium gray interior. Tinted targa top, 6 speed paddle shift automatic, Z51 handling suspension, polished wheels, XM/Sirius satellite radio, GPS navigation, 3LT best option package includes memory seat & steering column, heads up display, leather sport seats with side airbags, luggage shade & net, universal home remote, autodim mirrors & compass, heated seats, etc.

All original manuals, instruction DVDs, etc come with the car and also my full 3 volume set of GM Service Manuals for the car.

This car was special ordered for us and delivered at the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY; across the street from the Corvette factory. 44,500 miles. Meticulously maintained with frequent oil changes, new brake pads last year. Last year I was in an accident that was enough to fire my airbag but not bad enough to damage the radiator. All repair parts are genuine GM and the work is equal to a new car- I have a new 2009 and you can't tell them apart; both cars available for your side-by-side comparison.
I have clear title to this car.

Priced at $22,000 for quick sale
Or
$25,000 with GMPP extended warranty,
with ZERO deductible, good until Sept 2013 or 95,000 miles. Original cost $4,000

Payment must be cashiers check or cash, during business hours at my local bank.

Car is located near Crystal Lake, IL.

VIN 1G1YY26U365117237

I'LL POST SOME PICTURES WHEN I FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT. BUT HEY, YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT A RED C6 LOOKS LIKE, RIGHT?

Well, I could have asked $35k and screwed around for weeks, bargaining with people.

I don't like to do that.

Great deal. I'm sure that made someone's day!

Its nice to see that forum members are selling 6k or more lower than dealers/private parties.

Congrats to dntalman, have fun with your new vette!

Dntalman is on his way home in the C6. Nice guy, straight forward arrangements. I hope he has as much fun with the car as we did!

jflack · 07-02-2009, 05:54 PM

Outstanding deal. I'm the same way, price it right and it will sell fast(although i would'nt have priced it quite so cheap). Thank you for offering it here.

He's easy to please, we went to Arby's.

I agonized for months over whether to get a 2009 and sell the 2006; or just keep the 2006 and install a NPP exhaust, upgraded steering rack, etc. What put me over the edge were the cheap prices on the new cars, and the fact that the Z51 suspension and performance axle ratio will not be available on the regular Coupe next year. We won't know for a few years if i was smart or dumb.
