I can tell this is an old video because there are no C7 Z06’s for under 65K nowadays. They are all like 80K now and up unless they got tons of miles on them.
I picked up a 2017 Z06 2LZ in July 2019 with the automatic and with only 1595 miles on it for 67,400. It is an Admiral Blue coupe with Chrome wheels and I love it. Added a six year warranty, when it is close to expiring I will add a Procharger to push the hp up to 825.
The one I'm looking at, 5/19/2023, is a 2016 Z06 3LZ convertible with a lot of carbon (not sure if it has the Z07 Package) with 39,120 miles. I might pull the trigger. I really like the car.
Before tax ? Here in Germany they don’t even sell em’..... I’m planing to buy this autumn the MY20 Cramro’ 2SS for 55k euro tax included. Officially we get only one the 2SS here but without the active exhaust. Would you say that’s to much for 2SS Camaro ?
@False Ified when you say manual vert, you mean vett,right? And you're absolutely right sir driving a Corvette you need a manual I drove by friends 68 and it was freaking awesome here in Austin
Add a pandemic premium. New video title should be "Is the C7 Z06 Corvette the BEST Car Under $95,000?". If you are willing to go used 100,000 miles, then this video ages fine.
You mentioned you had issues with the PowerStop brake pads. I have a '19 Grand Sport and swapped out the pads for the PowerStop carbon ceramic. I find they don't bite as hard as the OEM pads but work well and the dust is nill. I bougth a set of ZR1 wheels that are forged spun with the AS3+ tires so hopefully I won't experience the wheel cracking issues. Will track on the stock wheels later this year.
With that amount I would try to buy a loaded out C7 Z06 that someone else has taken the hit on and this because I could not get the C8 I want for the money. Low mileage used that is taken care of is better on the wallet than new.
@@craigthescott5074 - yeah, it’s crazy! I assumed that when the C8’s hit the streets the C7 value would plummet but since there are very few C8’s produced compared to 2014 numbers people are grabbing up the C7’s. I love my C7 and not interested in buying the C8; not that a person could even find one priced reasonably.
I bought a C7 Z06 2015 manual 3LZ and I’m hoping it holds its value a little better than an auto car just because it’s a manual. Either way tho I’m saving for a C8 Z06.
Its fairly simple : True Muscle car - Dodge twins (SP or HC) True Sport car - C7 Corvette GS or Z06 (7 speed) We can skip the odd looking Camaro & Mustang (minus GT350 due to that 5.2L Vodoo engine)
RP Productions Awesome Review i glad you got to drive that absolutely gorgeous convertible C7 Z06 and i had 65k for a Car i would probably get a Used Z06
I've owned a 1988 Corvette Z51, a 1991 Corvette ZR-1 (pretty awesome) and a 2011 Cadillac CTS-V (also awesome). Oh, and a 2013 Audi S5 cabriolet Prestige. That little supercharged 6 cylinder gets up and goes. I'm currently looking to buy a 2016 Corvette, convertible Z06 with the ZL3 package. All are great cars, even your ZL1 Haha! Thanks for the video!
Potential C7Z buyer so i have a couple questions. @ 8:58 you mentioned this is a 3ZR package but I thought it was only 1, 2, and 3LZ? And also how do you know the Z06 has the Z07 package? Would it be a fully loaded 3LZ?
Always wish a holes like the McClaren driving going 115 in what looks like practically a residential would get a nice ticket...like if you really want to do that at least do it on the highway, it just really annoys me.
@@irvincasanueva3423 - indeed! I never imagined a global pandemic creating parts and labor shortages would happen, let alone last more than the two weeks needed to “flatten the curve.” Either way the C7 is still a fantastic car. After attending the NCM Bash last month I’ve found that a lot of folks still prefer the traditional front engine design. Most folks that I asked said they would not consider purchasing a C8. However, the majority of the people I met prefer to drive long distances and like the open rear storage area for travel. Irregardless now is a good time to buy…. but not finance.
For my money, I would buy an 08' srt10 viper coupe, damn good looking cars and well you don't see them all the time, or a challenger or charger hellcat.
The C7Z is definitely a sharp car. I just picked up a C6Z. Keep up the awesome videos! You've inspired me to start my own channel! Follow my build! Stay blessed!

cheers guys I’m following Riley’s channel for a while and now I’m finally planning to buy a Camaro SS this autumn after driving 2l turbo GTI’s 🥳 Would you say that 55k euro (tax included) are ok for a new 2SS Camaro MY20 ? That’s the only model that we officially get in Germany and it’s without the dual mode exhaust... Cheers and greetings from Frankfurt, Germany
Well the problem is there are so many autos for sale but very few manuals. People aren’t trading in their manuals and they won’t since they can’t get it in the C8
Nice upload RP, but I have to correct you on the C7 Vert. You don't "take the top off," you put the top down. 😉 Also, it's not a 3ZR, it's a 3LZ, but we know what you meant. FWIW, this vert would look good in anyone's garage AND on the road, but your price is high. Save the Wave.🙋♂️
@@danield3459 black wheels are boring and unimaginative. Polished aluminum ,powder coated (not black) or "black chrome" looks great along with quality show chrome.
Substantial depreciation hit. High insurance. Low gas mileage - 15 mpg is wishful thinking. More like 13 mpg. The positive: Passes everything on the road except a gas station.
For 65k I would buy a 2016+ Cadillac CTS-V but my budget was 45k so I picked up a 2015 Dodge charger SRT hellcat. I'm more of a GM guy and waiting on the ZL1/ V3 prices to drop 😀

I should have come out to the C&C Woodlands! I purchased a 19 Z06 7spd manual a few months ago and just LOVE this car.
Brand new ZL1 is 50K here in Texas so yeah I'm gonna save 15K and get that
In my opinion to c 7 looks way better than C8 I would love to pick up one of these supercharged Beast
$50k?

65k? Damn wish mine would’ve costed that much
For the lowest depreciation definitely the Viper.
SL600/SL65
Can't get a new gen for under 65.
SL600 Mercedes ?? They tank in value like a stock market crash. Had a CLK convertible was a 75K car new sold it for 4K with 115K miles on it!!
The C7 Z06 is actually going up in value. I bought mine 3 years ago for 73K now they are 80K all day long.

I love convertibles but why not just get the C7Z coupe and take the top off? The visible CF roof looks amazing too! Great vid! 😁

I’ll get a ZL1 from my boy RP
That fucking intro man!!! Brilliant Funny!!! 💯💯💯 CORRECT!!
I owed a C6 and traded for a ZL1. Being 75 I became self conscious driving a vet, now people ask “is that your car?”
Always wish a holes like the McClaren driving going 115 in what looks like practically a residential would get a nice ticket...like if you really want to do that at least do it on the highway, it just really annoys me.
That was in KM
Can’t wait to pick up a C7Z when the C8 drops lol
💯Going to be a bargain come summer . Awful news for people who own them but that’s why folks need to drive ‘em and enjoy them
1life To live - one guy just told me the C7 Manuals will hold their values because they’re rare 🤣
Well I bought it. A 2016 Z06 3LZ convertible automatic in Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic. It is awesome, and just a little cheaper than a C8 Z06.
Planning on buying a c7 zo6 soon but an manual tho 😡😎
Im looking to get rid of my 18 zl1 for another vette, but its tough trying to find a c7zo6 with manual.
C7 ZO6 is the best performance bargain in 2024 and for more years to come hopefully 🙏🏼
C7 values will plummet when they get traded in this summer on the C8’s.
Not if its a manual, alot more rare than auto’s
@@kmaark1551 If I got a C7 at this point, it would have to be a Grand Sport with a manual for sure. Last of a breed.

Love the chrome wheels, the black wheel fad seems to be fading.
for that price point I'd look into maybe a C6 ZR1, always love those, also maybe a gen 4 viper, or a Camaro ZL1...
It’s a great car if you’re short. At 6’5” my knees are under the dash
You mean normal sized
I'm 6'4" and have no issues of space in my c7z06
The Z06 is an "old man car" because it has something most millennials don't know how to use. A stick shift.
It is still available???
Ok does that mean that you ordered a convertible on the C8 ?
I’d use that money as a down payment for a Dodge Demon with a demon crate. If I can find one or get a widebody Dodge Charger hellcat
C6 Z with fixed heads and some bolt on's
For my money, I would buy an 08' srt10 viper coupe, damn good looking cars and well you don't see them all the time, or a challenger or charger hellcat.
💯 Viper would hold its value much better.
They go as low as 54k with under 25k miles(yes c7 Z06, all trims) on the odometer so most definitely best car under 65K
Yea not nowadays C7 Z06 are now increasing in value.
Not any more.

For 65K I would be checking used Porsche 911s. Might be time for you to do a review of one :)
That intro was hilarious 😆
you can get a c7 z06 2015-2016 for like $50-55k 15k miles im looking at snagging one
Streespeed 717will assure you that this is the Vette to have
Those chrome wheels, this is why a Corvette is a seniors car.
Love the intro if I had 65 racks its hellcat time all day with low miles 😤😤 love the content as always bro keep it up 💯
These are $90,000 in my area ( USA btw ) so I have no idea where $65,000 came from.
I’d buy an V8 R8. Could definitely pick up a nice one for under $65k. Hell, if I look hard enough, I could probably find a Gallardo.
For 65k I get a used hellcat for 40-43k and put 10k in exterior and basic boltons and save the rest
So, because it has attractive chrome factory rims it's classified as a "grandpa Vette", correct? Even though it's a ZO6? Why?
Only old people own Corvettes

For 65k personally i'm finding a c63, if not i'll save some and get a M2 or M3. C7 GS would be after those.
65k a GXP swap a Ls7 into FBO cam and headers with a second fuel tank for meth or E and that's what I would do
Definitely a great value and a beautiful machine
In a word... yes 😁
