OBSESHON Mark

I spent some time in the C6 for sale section today.
It seems that the pricing is starting to drop in the U.S..
Not in all cases, but the guys that are serious about selling, and have advertised at a reasonable price are moving their cars.

Others priced at higher prices, have thousands of hits and are for sale for months.

Sellers that have ordered C7's seem to realistic on C6 pricing.
Some nice cars in the mid 20's and a couple of GS's in the mid 30's.

Doing some shopping?

Just Research.

Our $$$$ has dropped too though

Highway Dancer

and by 10%...have C6's dropped by 10%?

Just an indication, in 2009 you could get a 2006 C6 with under 20k km for 29-32k. Has the price dropped $3-4k in 5 years? Can you get a 2011 for that price?

In 2009 there was much more than just auto depreciation that the mkt was dealing with.

"Research" = men's fancy word for shopping

No. I think I will stick to my plan and go for a C7 in a couple of years.

10% plus the banks "administrative/exchange fee" of 3-4%

[QUOTE=Airwilf;1586418840]If you need to exchange a large sum of money...go to one of the places downtown like I did, I withdrew a CAD bank draft, took it over to a currency exchange place (not those shady places, a real place in financial district), gave me back a USD bank draft, took it back to bank and they ordered large sum of USD.

Didn't pay a massive fee.

Bendix was where I went. I believe it was a flat fee to exchange.

Mad*Max

just out of curiousity what rate of exchange did they give to buy the USD?

Good plan! I love my C6 a lot, however a part of me wishes I had just hung onto the C5 and waited for the C7 prices to drop. I still plan on getting a C7 well before my 50th birthday though (in 2019)

infernobuster

Im currently looking for a C6 down in the US, but with the drop of our dollar im on the fence now.

They are saying our dollar will drop even further soon too. sigh.

Mark, please dont do search on C5 pricing.......dang that hurts i dont even go C5 for sale section....parts yes.

Well this is my last vette, how long this last dont know but i am done with vettes for sure.

How come Sami???

According to XE Currency the Market Rate for CAD/USD exchange on that date in September 2009 was 1.078 / .9272.

I found the Bendix slip and I exchanged at 1.083.

So basically they made .005 points per dollar on $30k.

I can't recall the flat fee. It was nothing I was terribly concerned about.

I was looking yesterday on autotrader and still seeing grand sports for $45-60k.

also, im not sure but on the off topic section and c7 section, guys are getting loans for like 1%-2% then purchasing private cars. I believe its through credit unions. anyone know what the best rate for getting a loan to purchase a car privately and low interest? used car lots want anywhere from 4.9% to 7.9%, 4.9% with really good credit. and then you still have your usual markup because its a dealer. any good places?

slickpete83

yes, prices on c6 auto corvettes still suck in Canada , still +$30K according to autotader , they have one for $24K buts its got 150Km and its a 2005

maybe as we head into spring there will be more vettes on the market with lower prices

sami85L98

3 vettes are enough, my problem is i dont like stock and get bored easily, keep changing some stuff all the time for which i dont even need it.....but i love this White Z06 so much dont think i will ever get rid of not of soon at least....in couple years may be.
