Hi all,

I am moving and simply do not have the space in the downsized condo to take toys with me so I unfortunately will be departing with my Z06. I custom built the car and ordered it. It has absolutely been the best car I have ever owned and this is my 6th Corvette over the years. Pics do not do it justice because of the ceramic coating, the car pops so much more due to the coating. Yes, its expensive, but so worth it when you see the car. People are always taking videos and pictures on the road and in parking lots. Car is incredible, 650 hp/ 650 tq stock. I guess the few things I did added a few hp, so maybe it is near 700 crank hp now give or take.

Some information regarding the car:
2017 1LZ Z06
Torch Red / Adrenaline Red Interior / Painted Top & Mirrors / Black Wheels / Red Calipers
A8 Trans
8500 miles
Car is located in North/Central NJ

Car has the stage 2 winglets installed on the spoiler since early summer. Car was built in May 2017 so it was a late 2017 build and of course has the updates that came our for the 2017+ model year that made the Z06 better and for more or less solved any overheating issues. Car was a nice weather car, it has seen rain once, which happened on the way home from the dealer (they say it's good luck). Never any warranty work, just oil changes.

The car is almost fully wrapped in XPEL Ultimate paint protection film. This was almost $5000 dollars. In addition, the car was fully ceramic coated including the glass, wheels, and calipers. Needless to say it's as protected as any car on the road and that was an additional $1200 dollars. At that time, I had the windows tinted to 30% which are not black but darkened them modestly. Floor mats are new, as I have the Corvette rubber Weathertech mats in the car (I am a fanatic about the car being clean and treat it as my child. I am the only one that has ever driven it and in fact it's had a passenger a handful of times ever.

Car has a Borla X pipe on it that was installed at ECS (forum sponsor and one of the top corvette shops in the world) - this really helped out with sound when WOT - it doesn't increase the sound much during normal driving and there is no drone at all. At that time I also had them put on the PowerStop brake pads... this was probably the best thing ever done because now the wheels do not collect any brake dust, I am sure the ceramic coating helps too but literally the car never has brake dust. The car also has an upgraded air filter (the BMS filter was put on by ECS). All in all, the extras I did came to around $8000 with the wrap, coating, plus mods.

Car was never tracked and like I said driven on nice days and has seen rain once on the way home from dealer.

If anyone is considering the car that isn't local, I have shipped many high end vehicles over the years, either buying them myself or selling them. I can help arrange as I have a few very well known enclosed carrier companies.

Of the 2017 "best priced cars" online most sellers are in the $67-70K range - considering $8K in extras and the condition, I am looking for $69,500 for the car. Price drop to trade in price... $63,998

 

what's the factory upgrade to alleviate the heating issues? thanks, yeah ECS is the best!

 

The 2017+ cars had a new supercharger lid/hood/and a few other internal parts. Being this car is auto that is important, the 2015 and 2016s overheated only under above moderate track use. Street cars wouldn't see any overheating in even the 15/16 cars. If someone wants to track an A8 I would highly recommend the 2017+ cars.

LG Motorsports made some nice mods for the 2015 and 2016 cars.

Yes, Chris and Doug are great at ECS, I've known both of them for over 15 years now.

 

Forgot to mention, I have wheel/tire insurance that will transfer to the new owner. Absolute must when mounted Michelin's cost $600 a pop.

 

Price drop - $66,940 is a great deal. I am dropping the price as my DD is going back on lease and I am getting a new DD. Dealer is giving me $64,875 on trade in. With the tax savings it comes to $66,940 for me. Car is for sale until I trade it in.

That makes this car under $60K if you were to wrap it and ceramic coat it... no 2017+ cars with these miles are anywhere near that.

 

Dealer is going to let me trade it in but sell it privately and use tax credits so I can offer this to someone for even cheaper. Let's me save about 4K in tax. Will be traded in soon if no one wants it. At $63,400 on big auction site.

$64K. Take into account the XPEL and ceramic coating and you are getting the car for $57,XXX.... that is under wholesale.

 

Will be finalizing a trade in next week, so $64K takes it.
