'06 C6 Z06, I want a C8!!! This is your perfect Z06
Hoping to get into a C8 by late 2020, so need to start saving by selling my Z. Title is clear and in hand. No accidents, I have the CarFax from when I bought it, and I haven't had any issues since buying it. This is my only car and I daily drive it, so everything that has been done to it has been for comfort and reliability (with minor cosmetic changes as well).
Now, onto the car.... 2006 Corvette Z06

Defects
Driver side visor mirror fell out.
Scrape on the underside passenger side rocker panel.
H-pipe vibrates on tunnel plate (this was a common issue on early C6's. Its not really noticeable, as it just makes the exhaust sound raspy. I wrapped the portion that is rubbing with fiberglass header wrap to tone down any vibrations or noise.
- These are some threads related to it. I was going to replace the H-Pipe or go full headers, but haven't gotten around to it. That would eliminate the vibration altogether. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...nel-plate.html https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...nel-plate.html https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...e-dilemma.html
Some minor spider webbing in paint on lower front left fascia. Probably from one of the previous owners taking a steep incline.
Minor crack on rear hatch.
Minor paint chips throughout from age and driving. (same with the black wheels)
Driver side seat has a small wear spot.
Some minor paint scuffs from the ZR1 spoiler the previous owner had installed. I removed the spoiler, but never had the blemishes polished out. They look to be in the clear coat only.
Price: $31,000
The only trade I will possibly consider is a 2016-2019 Chevrolet Volt with cash on your end.
I have only added generic photos of the car. I expect you to come view and test drive this car in person. I am telling you everything about this car with absolute full disclosure so you know what you're getting. If you do have specific questions, please ask, and I will happily answer them with 100% honesty.
I live in Manhattan Beach, but work in Los Angeles. I will show the car in Los Angeles (closer to Culver City) if you want to come see it. You are responsible for pickup or shipping. I accept certified bank checks or cash ONLY.
As it sits now with temporary wrap on wheels.
Prior to the wrap.
Classic exit point wear mark for those that fall out of their Corvette gracefully.
Bottom right corner, you can see the spider webbing I referred to.
Minor webbing on rear deck.
Spoiler blemishes from previous ZR1 spoiler installation. Looks to be in clear coat only.
I would be angry if I lived in California too, lol.
Hate the 91 octane, the price of it, and the traffic. But I love living a block from the ocean and 70 and sunny weather everyday. After living in the midwest my whole life, I'm not sure I could ever leave this place.
Don't get me wrong, I still really like the C8, it is an incredible car at an exceptional value with what appears to be very high quality materials. But looking at it next to a wide body C7, the flared fenders of the C7 just looked more aggressive and had a better stance in my opinion.
I've never really had a chance to see the C7 up close in person until the other day when I saw the c8. So seeing them both, I think it will take a wide body C8 to sway me. And since it will be a while until we see a wide body C8 (if at all), I might make the jump to a C7 Z06 since prices are beginning to come down now.

Thanks for the reply. Enjoyed your sale ad by the way.
Just another bump. Just had the clutch fluid flushed and replaced by the dealership. (NOT THE RANGER METHOD), Full fluid exchange. Also, roof panel was replaced under recall. Paint matches perfect and the cabin is super quiet.
