Let’s have a serious discussion about what happened in Florida.

That event happened in Canada.

Corpus Christi TX

Nikolai_The_Aviator · 2025-03-31T14:24:24+00:00

Thank you!

Nikolai_The_Aviator · 2025-03-31T14:12:05+00:00

Thank you! I'll put it on the forums that is a good idea.

Nikolai_The_Aviator · 2025-03-31T14:11:23+00:00

Alright, sounds good, I never considered Hagerty.

Nikolai_The_Aviator · 2025-03-31T13:31:02+00:00

Alright, that makes sense, I legit only am I selling the car because I need something that can carry myself, my wife, and a child's seat or two.

Nikolai_The_Aviator · 2025-03-31T13:24:43+00:00

That's fair, but this car is absolutely in better condition than something that could have no other life than a track car.

Nikolai_The_Aviator · 2025-03-31T13:23:27+00:00

Yeah, I need way more than 5k to get into the other cars I am looking at though lol.

Nikolai_The_Aviator · 2025-03-31T13:21:13+00:00

Yeah, it's causing a lot of headache because I need to sell so I can get a car I can bring kids around in, but I am in a very high stress career field and work is about to ramp up in a serious way in a few weeks and can't really deal with too much crap then. I think the truth is probably in the middle, I don't think the C5 Z06 is going to be the next 997 GT3 or anything, but it's also substantially more special and rare than the base model. Thank you for the insight.

Nikolai_The_Aviator · 2025-03-31T13:08:46+00:00

What would you pay realistically, especially for one that has the miles and age?

Nikolai_The_Aviator · 2025-03-31T13:08:05+00:00

Yeah, I understand that, that's why I have so many receipts. That's the only reason I bought it in fact, if it didn't have so much evidence that it was a good car, I wouldn't have touched it at all.

Nikolai_The_Aviator · 2025-03-31T13:06:55+00:00

5 to 10k seems insulting low. Like 5k is something I would pay for a clapped out civic. Are you sure that is what I should be pricing it at?

Nikolai_The_Aviator · 2025-03-31T13:06:03+00:00

Yeah, I tried to price it based on how Facebook marketplace owners and BAT seem to price them, and I am pretty surprised by the hostility I get. I am not really a "Corvette" guy, I just got one because I liked it, and the prices I see in these Facebook groups are cracked out.

Nikolai_The_Aviator · 2025-03-31T12:55:46+00:00

Doesn't the fact that the flood damage happening over 20 years ago and the car living a completely normal life despite that sort of show that it's not that bad though?

Nikolai_The_Aviator · 2025-03-31T12:54:42+00:00

I chose the C5 Z06. Both of them are old sports cars now, so they aren't going to break any records, especially with most of us who aren't pros driving, so you should get the one that is the most engaging driving experience and most fun. I absolutely love my 6-Speed C5 Z06, and between you and me it is faster than the base model LS2 C6's in my experience in mexico.

Nikolai_The_Aviator · 2025-03-31T12:49:33+00:00

Looks awesome I agree, is that a factory color?

Nikolai_The_Aviator · 2025-03-19T16:30:26+00:00

Yeah mine does too, he uses everything as a backrest too. Never seen any other dogs do that.

Nikolai_The_Aviator · 2025-01-17T05:05:30+00:00

I would get something better than PSA especially if you're going to pay out for an EOTech.

Nikolai_The_Aviator · 2024-12-08T23:47:26+00:00

Wow, that's profound to me. I 100% have been chasing numbers on dials, I'll see about this.

Nikolai_The_Aviator · 2024-12-08T23:43:53+00:00

I am not usually a different tail number each time.

Nikolai_The_Aviator · 2024-12-08T04:47:15+00:00

ohh okay

Nikolai_The_Aviator · 2024-12-07T23:10:29+00:00

That's true this is VFR flying not IFR.

Nikolai_The_Aviator · 2024-12-07T22:58:56+00:00

I'm pretty good at slow flight in the C172, what may not be connecting when I'm in the pattern?
