The Chevrolet Corvette is the best high-performance value in America. It delivers supercar performance for the price of a midsize luxury sedan.
The Corvette is available as a coupe or convertible. The Corvette coupe and Convertible are powered by a 6.0-liter V8 generating an impressive 400 horsepower. A six-speed manual transmission is standard. An optional six-speed Paddle Shift automatic can be shifted manually with levers on the steering column. The Z06 has a 7.0-liter V8 producing 505 horsepower, with racecar features such as dry-sump lubrication and coolers for the power steering pump, gearbox and rear differential. Beyond the engine, the Z06 includes hydro-formed aluminum frame rails; its hardtop is fixed in place; its brakes are upgraded; its tires are huge and it's offered only with the six-speed manual transmission.
For 2006, the Chevrolet Corvette gets a new model: the ultra-high performance Z06 model. An optional paddle shift transmission is also available.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2006 Chevrolet Corvette, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2006 Chevrolet Corvette for less money than when it was new. If the 2006 Chevrolet Corvette was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2006 Chevrolet Corvette is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2006 Chevrolet Corvette will have a good resale value. This assumes that the 2006 Chevrolet Corvette is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
