Hi Corvette Fans,

I'm selling my 2002 Z06 to raise capital for my next business venture.  I know you're wondering why would I do that, isn't the Z06 more important?  Well, it's a hard choice, true.  This is my 2nd Corvette, and I'll have a 3rd, a 4th, and 5th I'm sure.  The Z06 is an amazing car and anyone is lucky just to own one even for a short time.

I drive this car on the weekends in California along Highway 1, the Santa Cruz Mountains, and around the San Francisco bay area.  On April 24, 2003, this car had exactly 5,250 miles.  By the time your read this, the car will have about 5400 miles.

Important things you need to know about this Corvette:

  • 2002, Corvette, Z06
  • 405HP,  6-spd
  • Black/Black
  • 5,400 miles
  • $43,995 (asking price)

This 2002 Corvette Z06 features the amazing 405HP engine and 6-speed manual transmission in a solid hard-top chassis.  The Z06 is labeled the "Ultimate Corvette" with more horsepower and performance than anytime in it's 50 year history.  You can learn about this exact car by  viewing the <actual factory sticker>
   

This Z06 "Super Car" has great amenities which includes full black leather appointed interior, heads-up display, power windows, 6-way power driver seat with memory package (3-driver seat position presets), remote power door locks, power mirrors, heated mirrors, electrochromic mirrors, cruise control, speed-sensitive power steering, tilt-adjustable steering wheel, dual zone climate controls (driver and passenger), AM/FM in-dash single CD player stereo w/radio presets, 4 Bose premium brand speakers. 

Chassis features include four-wheel independent suspension, front and rear stabilizer bar,  front and rear ventilated disc brakes, 4-wheel ABS, traction control, stability control, titanium muffler & tailpipes.

Goodyear F1 "Super Car" Tires (the same series you'll find on a Ferrari 308).  It says "Super Car" right on tire.

 
     
 
Here is the actual sticker from the car.   Smart buyers will want to pull a report on the VIN for any pre-owned car they choose.
 
     
 
I carefully selected the right dealer who knows Corvettes.  I checked the big outfits in CA, TX, and NJ.   If you buy in California, you need to know the "market rate" for a Corvette.   Notice this vette came with a market adjustment tag of $9,995 above retail.  (Don't worry, I didn't pay it so neither will you.)  
 
     
 
This Corvette has 50-State Emissions. 
 
     
 
Unlike any other car you've driven in the past, you'll grow to appreciate the high-tech traction control and active handling system in this Z06.   This system will allow you to drive the car to the limits and not loose control.
 
 

FAQ:

  • Why are you selling?  I'm starting a new business and need the equity in my portfolio.  I'll buy another Z06 after my business deals are done.
     
  • When did you buy the car?  October 12, 2001.  I ordered the car in June 2001 and waited 5 months for it.  I debated about buying a the 385hp 2001 edition and decided the 405hp 2002 edition was worth waiting for. 
     
  • Why should I consider this car?  1.) A black-on-black Z06 is for serious Corvette owners. It's the most prized and photographed color choice and interior.  If you've ever been shopping for Corvettes, you know this exact style is hard to come by (sold out or special order only).  Again, this vehicle was on order for 5 months.  2.) Don't buy a normal vette when you can drive a Z06 - do your homework - a Z06 is a world class car.
     
  • Is this car really perfect?   Close, there is a minor scratch on the front right wheel. A1/8" nick in the front left wheel.  One of the tires had a nail in it and was properly repaired by a Goodyear dealer who knows vettes.   This vette was garaged since day 1 and is nearly perfect otherwise.   No door dents, rock chips, or paint damage of kind.  Interior is perfect – no greasy or slimy spray on chemicals used, no fragrances, and no smoking permitted within a 100 feet of this car.
     
  • What else about this particular car ?  This car 100% factory - every imaginable ownership detail is preserved.  Even the protective decal on the radio face plate remains intact.  The owner's manual, owner's video tape, spare keys, and factory sticker are here for you.   No body decals, decorative additions, or dealer badges - not even a license plate frame. 
     

  • Any maintenance records?  Yes, and no.  Yes, I would give them to you, but no there aren't any because of the low mileage and no problems.
     
  • Has the oil been changed?  Not yet, the mileage is far below the recommended 7,500 mile oil life.
     
  • Any issues?  No, this car lives up to the quality awards GM has been getting for the Corvette.  My '92 vette doesn't compare to this '02 vette for quality.   No rattles, air-leaks, window binds, or tapping valves.  This is a quality car - that's why I bought it.
     
  • Where have you driven the car?  Silicon Valley, San Francisco, Napa, Highway 1 - that's about it.  No road trips to Bowling Green or anything like that. 
     
  • How have you driven the car?  Like a Corvette, firm.  I'm 40 years old and this is my second Corvette.   No racing, tracks, or tire smoking recklessness.  A smart buyer will examine the tire wear - this car has good tread life for the mileage.  I suppose the computer also records max speed -  I've had it to 125mph once, over 100mph a few times, and from 0 to 60mph in less than 5 seconds many times.   I'm not in to max speed - it's stupid.  I drive it for the power, cornering, and to keep my driving technique "dialed-in".
     
  • Has the car been in the rain?  Yes, a few times.  Each time was just unavoidable.  However, this car lives in Silicon Valley (300+ days of sunshine a year).
     
  • What about the tires?  Yes, one of the tires got a nail in it - one repair.  The reason why you need to know this is because Goodyear recommends a maximum of 2 repairs per tire.  The tires are Goodyear F1 Super Car tires.
     
  • What about sound system?  I don't listen to it much.  Instead, I listen to the motor and pipes - that's the music - 405hp sings.
     
  • Can I take a test drive?  Absolutely not, no way, forget it - no joy rides.  Not even my best friends have driven this car.  You better be sure you want a Z06 - if not, that's what dealers are for...   I will make an exception only to the one serious buyer who is about to write me a check.
     
  • Can I have a mechanic/dealer check the car?  Yes, if you're from out of town and can't see the car yourself.  We can make arrangements to have a broker/dealer inspect the car before you arrive or before the car is shipped.  A $100 deposit plus proof of insurance will be required to screen out tire kickers.   You can also do a background search on the Internet for the VIN - it will be clean.
     
  • Any additions or modifications?   Absolutely not!  I value the "factory" package exactly "as-is"
     
  • What if I am a dealer/broker?   If you are dealer/broker looking for buy this car on wholesale and resell it - please do not call, you are wasting your time and mine - I don't need to sell it that bad.
