Hi,
I'm new here and considering buying a Coupe or Z06 within the next year. I was looking around through several "used car" sites onlines, as well as other common places like eBay, and I noticed something that confused me.
About 75% of the used Vettes (I only looked at years 2001 and 2002) I saw being sold were Z06's (as opposed to Coupe or Convertible). I was under the impression however, that Z06 retail sales represented a very small portion of the overall Vette retail sales (Coupe and Vert being much more common). Taking these two pieces of information together, I can only conclude that practically everyone with a new Z06 is trying to get rid of it. If this is the case, why???
It might make a little bit of sense for 2001, as anyone who had the money and interest to buy one then was obviously very interested in performance, so they are selling their 2001 and trying to replace it with a 2002... but I simply can't understand why I saw so many "used" 2002 Z06's being sold with less than 10k miles on them. Is there something wrong with them? I've browsed though a lot of info online, and the only thing I've noticed is that a lot of people were complaining about the center console getting hot (which IMO definitely shouldn't happen), and lots of road noise (which really isn't a "problem" with the car, but could explain why some people are apparently getting tired with them so fast).
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. I apologize if this has been addressed in another thread already, but I didn't see it anywhere.
