You have bought the most pampered Z06 in the UK. Well done. I was speaking to JW at the CCCUK Nationals last weekend and he said it had gone.

I looked a buying it two years ago but I can't live with a black car.

If you want any info on joining the CCCUK, send me a PM or email [e-mail] uk

Thanks very much, however I did actually register & join with a view to making the Nationals, and at the very least as a gesture of thanks to the club without whom I would not have found this car!

Sad to have missed catching up with JW last weekend, will try to organise for the next gathering.

Just headed down to the Cotswolds in it, wins me over more and more with every drive.

I may be looking to sell my 06 zed with 30k on the clock, car is in excellent condition and has a nice aas of Newcastle system

Red with anthracite alloys, looks stunning

When is the best time of year to put these things up for sale?

[Silver C6]

Well, think they usually say that sports car/convertible buying "season" usually starts in Spring. But, think that a good/well priced Vette will sell at any time of the year and sell quick (?) As Adrian Dromey who advertises his cars on here proves week after week.

[PHCorvette]

not in a rush, just making plans as we may look to sell this year and I figured as you said the spring time is the best time to start hocking it.

I had heard of the dealer but would prefer to try to private first to maximise return.

Advertise it on the CCCUK website first.

In answer to the OP... the garage is more than full now so yes, I'm going to have to let my Z06 go after over nine years (no I didn't quite get round to selling it last year). Le Mans Blue, UK(Europe) spec and lovely - you can see it in the Classifieds: http://thumbsnap.com/sc/VaqHOLvP.jpg[/img]|http://t...

priced very keen to sell! I've seen other cars, ok with a bit less mileage but that shouldn't be an issue, going or up for the high 30s.

Good luck with the sale, it should fly at the price.

Thanks - I didn't think I was allowed to do that

Had a few sniffs when the weather was grim but, with the car garaged in Devon, distance seemed an obstacle for some! The first who visited thought it too hard core for him, which surprised me. Happily as soon as I renewed the ad with the clocks having gone forward, I got several bites and, having taken a deposit on Monday from the second person to visit, parted with the Z06 today for the asking price.

I say "happily", but I'm not ashamed to admit that I started to well up when I saw (and heard) the car disappear up the motorway. It's the only car I've bought new and I guess I had grown a bit attached to it after nearly ten years

Bye bye Z06 - you were (and are) awesome.

just traded mine in this week for a not too disimilar price but couldnt be hassled with the test drives and general public. I say not dissimilar but about a k less. As it needed new tyres i was happy to do the deal.

I was sad to see the car go but the replacement hasnt had me looking back. I do miss the attention it got and I do miss being waved out of side junctions/roads etc as the new car people seem to think "eff off".

It was tough too, the day I did the deal, the sun was out the car was perfect it was just almost tempting to say no - but I needed something a little more refined for long trips. We did Poland and back in the Z last year, loved it but just fancied something a bit more refined this time around!

Well done on the sale

Cool - what year and miles was yours, and where were you able to trade it in? I'd sort of expected that not to be possible.

I've had my 'replacement' car for a while, which gets more pedestrian thumbs up and kindness at junctions than the Z did, but doesn't quite have the same 'will never let you down' feeling about it. Taking the Sag out to say bye bye to the Z made me feel a bit better about it, but I'll still miss it.

I reckon there's only one remaining UK 2006 Z06 still with its original owner after today.

Still have mine and no plans to sell.
