I was offered $45k from a contractor i use for my zl1. Seriously thinking about it.
My wife loves the car. She says if i sell it i can’t buy another car haha. I really would like a 2012-13 corvette zo6. Only problem with that is no seat for my daughter. What would you guys do?

Lose the wife...get another car. jk

If you think you can get that much more out of a Zo6, why not?

The problem is that the later c6 zo6 cars are really expensive also. Been with my wife for 24 years, shes not going anywhere lol

$55k wouldn’t that be something. If he offered $55k it would of been gone yesterday.
I paid $33k back in 2019. When does the value of these cars start to go back down hill? Or will they stay up for longer.

Bretts9112 · 08-17-2022, 09:18 PM

That's actually a good price I just bought mine 2013 25k miles for 33k

Shark72 · 08-17-2022, 09:45 PM

I would keep the ZL1, great car for what you described as your use. Wait till you only need Two seats and then get a C7 Z06!

Happy_Dan · 08-18-2022, 05:20 AM

$45K??? I love my car but I would sell it for that in a minute. Wait for the market to go back down and buy another one.

102SS · 08-18-2022, 06:25 AM

Take the dough and get a nice 09-14 Caddy CTS-V

You get your supercharged LS and also get 4 doors for the wife and kids

lbls1 · 08-18-2022, 08:56 AM

Nothing. I'd stay put.

1JEWLDSSRS · 08-18-2022, 09:33 AM

Keep the ZL1 and the wife!! You might get offered more later in life after the kids grow up and gone, then you might want your Z06. The ZL1 is a fantastic car for what you have it for now, and you just might want to keep it a while longer. One of my friends got offered 51k for his 2013 ZL1, and he turned it down!! Just a fun Camaro to have. Enjoy it sir..

Bigtime53 · 08-18-2022, 03:11 PM

I have a 2013 with 6300 miles on it I would sell but it would have to be in the 55 range before I would let it go. These 5th gen cars to me are the best looking ones of the ZL1’s I think. Keep you Camaro!

FasNuf · 08-18-2022, 03:15 PM

I bet you have more than $45k in that build. I'm in the same boat but I want the c8.
Stingray LT1 of course cuz I'm poor.

tartagliazl1 · 08-18-2022, 04:27 PM

He came to my site today to do some work for me and kept bugging me. I told him I'm going to hold on to it for the rest of the summer and I'll think about it during the winter. Most likely I'm going to hold on to it. Told him he's first on the list if I decide to sell.
