whats its worth v. TT c5z

[daturbosix]

not sure on the market of these.
briefly talked to [MENTION=16]PANDA[/MENTION] this afternoon, and seeking others opinions that might know more about the modified c5 market...

what i know:
-2001 z06
-76,000 miles
-UPP twin turbo kit(in fenders)
-BBK turbo manifolds
-spec twin disk clutch
-walbro pump
-80lb injectors
-wide body rear fenders

rest of drivetrain is stock. engine is unopened and stock also.

this is an offer for a vehicle i have for sale.
do you think its worth $20k+? think its $25k? less?

im at the cross roads to either say "lets do this" or "gimme cash ontop"

let me know what your thought is.

I'm going with/20 tops. Clutch issues and stock engine... It's a time bomb. You're buying a z06 that's going to blow up in a few thousand miles and need an engine & trans.

 

[PANDA]

like I said on via text. meh. Being a 2001 and twin turbo doesn't exactly make it more desirable. My Z06 had the same miles and I can't tell you how many people were turned off by that without even looking at the car. Honestly on a trade id value that 15K max. That way if it does have issues you can still fix it and try to make money on it. Who knows could be a hack job install. That type of car is a hard sell. You really need to find the right buyer.

In for demonstrating capable of 20#

 

[Stink Star]

Doing a clutch on a C5 is a real asshole job too. "Needs adjusting" fuck off, it needs a clutch

 

[Gone_2022]

I agree with above. Stock drivetrain?? Aka dude had no idea what support mods were and tossed power at the car. Now that it's slowly on its last leg he is selling it.

 

[Gone_2022]

Haha I die laughing when I see this in ads. No it's not capable of 20 pounds. It would be a cloud of dust at 20 pounds. If it was capable it would be there now.

For an extra 10 grand it's able to do 20 psi rofl

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

red seat inserts and trim, OUT

but 20K tops. black paint too FTS

 

[willizm]

Not enough info to go off of either. What brand and size of turbos, wastegate, bov. Is this a header kit or stock manifolds? Walboro pump as in a single 255 or dual 450's with wiring? I'm guessing by the lack of details it's all basic bitch type shit and probably not worth much more than a similar stock car

 

[SleeperLS]

Turn it up to 20#, replace motor with a 5.3, replace clutch during motor replacement. Profit.

 

[Mr_Roboto]

Which Walbro? Betting on under fueled. You're going to be tossing time and money into this, and 20# my ass.

eh.
i wouldnt call it a "timebomb", but it is possible.

how much is a th400 swap for one of these things?

7.5hrs worth of an asshole job too.

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

now were talkin /daturbosix

 

[1quick]

You trading the gn for this? If so 7-10k ontop of the vett

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

do you really want this car ? or is it just something to do ?

i wouldn't give up the GN for this thing unless it's exactly what you are looking for

 

[Chet Donnelly]

Thats pretty high mileage for a Vette!

nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

my car got turbo'd at 120k. has 160k now.

 

[Yaj Yak]

[MENTION=945]daturbosix[/MENTION] i like [MENTION=917]1quick[/MENTION]'s idea of 7-10k on top of the vette.

no shit. this is why i have a fucking list put together for my car.
kinda frustrating talking to people like this, but it is what it is, this is how most operate.

 

[Gone_2022]

75k miles at 10#

actual mileage 300k

Per the messages 15k on the turbo kit. 75 total on car.

The mileage is not high at all for the age of the car, but vettes are always looked at differently. I cannot tell you how many 08-12 vettes I've seen with 3-10k only on the car.

My record for the lowest miles I've seen was 950 miles on an 09 zr1. Needed some misc weird repair I cannot remember.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Whats the hours

 

[Yaj Yak]

i just get uncomfortable with anyone describing a car and starting with "here's a rundown"

Its a Corvette! Most of these are driven by 60 year olds and only get driven to the local car show to be displayed in pure stock form (while wearing Corvette shirt and jacket of course). Thats who I'd want to buy my used Vette from!
