Default C7z06 prices are sky rocketing!

Spoiler
 
while there is a thread taking a poll on "have c7 z06 prices stopped rising"
I thought this was worthy of a mention in its own thread. Looks like the the c7z's especially m7's will be commanding ultra high prices.

Crazy, not even a Z07 package either. Definitely an outlier sale price but coming from a someone with the same car but with Z07 it's certainly nice to see.

All it takes is two guys that want it, and you never know where the bidding will stop. Add in Buyers and Sellers fees and that is a $200,000 car.

I was there, looked the car over ahead of the auction, and watched it go. It's a beautiful car in near-showroom condition, but not worth what was paid for it. It's a 3LZ and Carbon Fiber version of my 2LZ Catbon Flash Z, with an original MSRP of "only" $110K.

Having attended Barrett-Jackson auctions for years, it's all about timing (and alcohol). Bidders and their guests are treated to 10 drinks/day, included with their Bidders' credentials. High rollers are there in the highest numbers Thursday thru Saturday. Ideal times to cross the block are, therefore, Firday and Saturday evening. This car crossed at a good time on an ideal day, though similar bidding occurred much Thursday evening, Friday, and Saturday - peak periods for alcohol-fueled stupidity.

Eight 2019 ZR1s also crossed the block. Their hammer prices ranged from a low of $137K (Lot 803) to a high of $201K (Lot 1289). Notably, the lowest price specimen was an A8 that sold on Thursday, while the three highest priced specimens were M7s and sold on Friday and Saturday.

I was there and saw the car. Pretty clean, but otherwise nothing special.

Several other C7 Z06's sold for more realistic prices, some with Z07 package. Most of the ZR1s (there were quite a few) sold for less than they have been going, and the more modified, the lower they sold for. C8 Z06's were relatively solid in pricing, but no longer fetch big premiums.

Remember all the forums "experts" saying " in 2021 you can walk into a dealer a buy a C8 below MSRP" or " I guaranteed it; the C8 Z06 will be twin turbo"

If your new to C7 game and you found that you did not like the C8 at all.. what can you do if you want a clean C7 now? You may have to pay a little more for a great example now... a car is only worth what someone willing to pay for it. I'd love a clean C2, but they don't make them anymore.. if I want a clean one the way I want.. I'd have to pay a bit of money for that too.. just the way it is

That's crazy as I just purchased a 2016 Z06 Z07 package window sticker was 109K. It's an A8 purchased from a dealer for 65K with 17K miles.
