Wanted: Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06 2006-2008

[Movie Muscle]

Looking to buy a C6 Z06. Do not need to get financing or permission from my other half: ) If your looking to sell yours and would rather it go to someone who will appreciate it vs a dealer looking to make a profit off your car please send me a message. Will travel for the right car. Thank you for reading.

A bunch for sale in Alberta Kijiji...

I understand and the appreciate the desire to buy one from someone from a community like this over finding something on Kijiji. Good luck in your search, and perhaps there is someone on here with a C6 Z06 who is just itching to get a new C7.

Just throwing it out there Jordy. My C6 came from Kijiji and it was pristine, and I'm still friends with the previous owner. He sold it to buy his new C7, not because it was beat to $hit. Not saying all are gonna be like that. Kijiji can be a cesspool as well so I do see where you're coming from. I think it's more important to have a reputable Corvette mechanic perform a complete inspection than it is to blindly trust any used vehicle, no matter where it is coming from.

For sure, Eric. I wasn't disagreeing with looking on Kijiji at all, I was rather complimenting the OP on posting the information here anyway.

and I definitely agree with absolutely having a knowledgeable mechanic do a full inspection on a car before purchase. It's a small price to pay.

Trying to stay within the province so far but who knows. I'll search all avenues and see what turns up. One certainly needs to be vigilant and know their vettes when buying used. Some time on a hoist and an alignment rack is a must to see she hasn't been bent. Carfax etc doesn't always have all the information.

 

[Jeremiad]

Sometimes it takes a while. Sometimes it takes a long while. I spent more than fifteen years 'looking' and more than three years 'looking seriously'. When you find the right one, the distance won't matter. In fact, it just makes it an adventure. I had a wonderful experience bringing my Trans Am back from Arizona.

Lol...that's crazy how our experiences were darn near identical! Older gentleman with 3 of these selling a couple at least to buy a new c7. Low mileage, impeccably maintained and pampered car that still had factory rear rubber. It was 6 years old...almost 7...and all my checks came back with nothing. The price was where I needed it, so apparently, the stars have aligned. Thank you kijiji! I used all avenues as well to search. Like Jord, it took me over 2 years of serious looking in 4 provinces to find what I wanted at the price I wanted. Good luck and can't wait to see pics of the new ride!

Maybe touch base with Manny at Dasilva Motors, lot's of Vette owners deal with Manny, He might know of someone looking to sell.

Any car recommended by Manny would be an excellent choice.

That's a good suggestion. Thank you.

Looking forward to seeing what you find! Any reason for the 06-08 years? I know 06-07 were the lightest Z06's but in 08 they did some beefing up to the drive train.

I look at the auctions every single day. I think you can probably find a private deal somewhere but the dealers have pulled half of them from the sale and are going to wait another month for the season to get close. Enjoy the looking, I've been looking for a 70 Mach 1 for myself

Deposit down deal pending. Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I almost bought a members car off our forum but distance and timing was a factor.

Thanks guys, eager as a kid at Christmas over here. It just needs to pass my super critical eye up in the air etc. Likely a done deal though. Deposit money already down and th dealer has been good. Warranty etc included which makes me comfy. Will do heads just before it's up if I still have the car by then...If I dooooo, maybe some mods : )

 

[Likarok]

Wow, is this it Movie! You have done very well. Good job! Sad I am so far away that I can't see it in person!

A few pics of the car at final inspection and load up.Car was dry in the opening shots and wet afterwards due to just a tiny bit of salt spray. Rain washed the roads clean for two days. They were nice and dry but snow banks melting had caused a couple light wet spots. I got under it and washed it for 30 minutes with fresh water. I wouldn't have been able to live with myself other wise.
