Corvette C6 Z06 Cost of Ownership [3 Year Update]

Recently, I surpassed my 3 year ownership anniversary on my 2008 Corvette Z06! 🥳 And in celebratory spirit, I thought you might find it interesting to know what my monthly cost of ownership has been over that course of time. So join me as I briefly review my service records from the past 3 years and ultimately share a breakdown of what the cost of ownership has been for me to own my first supercar.

Finally someone that post actual cost of maintenance, its actually not bad, i would of also thought tires would cost more

[@TexasRealEstate]

Especially coming from owning a bunch of German cars, it's been a good ownership experience!

[@TheRebuilt1]

Thanks for sharing and surprised that the parts and labor were so reasonable on these cars. Try talking to any Porsche 911 owner and your costs would be significantly higher which is a big reason Corvettes are a working man's sports car to me. Cheers and Regards!

[@TexasRealEstate]

Glad to share! And having owned Porsche's myself, I have experienced first hand exactly what you're talking about. Amazing cars but one definitely needs to be prepared for the maintenance expense.

[@pauldoyle206]

I have an 07 ZO6 as far as the performance mods go it's a slippery slope. From what I've seen in your videos if I was you the only change I would make is to get the heads fixed. Once you start with the performance mods I don't think you'll get your money back I have Ali modded mine but plan to keep it and just add to my collection in the future

[@TexasRealEstate]

I appreciate the input! Yeah you're right... To me it would definitely be worth doing the mods if a possible resale wasn't on the near horizon. Regardless, I definitely believe I'll have a C6 Z in my collection for many years into the future. Love these cars!

[@Keyboardwarrior36932]

When the fuck was this ? I got god dam 2020 Nissan Altima and I pay fucking 725$ a god dam month !

[@TexasRealEstate]

Wow! 😮 This would have been the purchase price financed for 72 months at 1.95% interest in 2018.

[@Chestnut1998]

I just subscribed! Great video. I’m also looking for a C6 zo6 myself.

[@TexasRealEstate]

Glad you found the video. And thank you for subscribing! Let me know once you find one... They're fun cars!

[@Chestnut1998]

Roicki no problem and I will

[@Chestnut1998]

Roicki if you don’t mind, please check out my current car on my channel

[@srvmotoman]

Oh nice! Love these cost to own vids. My cost to own has been different, but I decided to get 'go-fast' parts added. However if i left it stock, it is very identical to your cost to own per year with one exception. I had a leak in my rear diff. The seal had to be replaced which cost about $400.

[@TexasRealEstate]

Good to hear your costs have been similar, minus the added performance you opted for. And $400 for something unforeseen doesn't seem so bad, coming from the perspective of having owned a few German cars where surprises all too often clear a grand. 😅

[@TexasRealEstate]

Have you ever been to Cars & Coffee Austin? I've been wanting to go to the one at COTA one day - whenever it's back on.

[@srvmotoman]

@@TexasRealEstate I have never been to the Cars and Coffee here in Austin. Been wanting to go for a while now. I had thought about going whenever there were being held at The Oasis, but just haven't made it out or a commitment with the family took precedence.

[@TexasRealEstate]

@@srvmotoman Family first! Would be cool to get together with another JSB Z06 or two for a car show like that and get them lined up together. I don't think I've ever been at a car show short of Corvette Invasion where there was another JSB Z06 present. Rare color for the Z06... Austin is about an hour and a half away for me but I definitely plan on going one day in the future!

[@srvmotoman]

@@TexasRealEstate Yeah, I'm down. When they start having them again, we can touch base and head out there.

[@ricky3506]

Just watched a few of your videos. Awesome videos thanks for sharing. Just subscribed. Looking forward to buying one of these in about 2 years along with a C8 ZO6 and keeping them long term like you. Cheers.

[@TexasRealEstate]

Thank you Ricky, I appreciate your support! And awesome! I think you can't go wrong with the value of these cars long term. And a C8 Z06 would be epic as well, I can't wait to learn more about what those are like when they're out. I could definitely see myself picking one up in the years ahead as well.

[@SelimxBradley]

Are you still going to address the heads?

[@TexasRealEstate]

I think it's more likely that I'll get a ZR1 within the next year than move forward with the heads and anything else on my list. Got a couple of other items ahead of that on my priorities list for the next few months so we'll see how that pans out - but you'll definitely see the update hear either way. 😃

[@s2klivin39]

Surprised I thought it would cost a lot more to own a car like this.

[@TexasRealEstate]

Likewise! Different than the German cars I'm more accustomed to, in a good way. Lol

[@johnzambrano1759]

I'm actually in the market for low mileage c6 z01 I'm pretty excited

[@TexasRealEstate]

Still enjoying mine! You're going to love it.

[@DriesOG]

I am super torn between a stock Z06, Built motor GS, or boosted base C6...

[@TexasRealEstate]

Decisions, decisions. I love my Z06. Sure you can't go wrong either way

[@DriesOG]

@@TexasRealEstate ended up with the built motor GS haha. Had it for a few months and sold it...

[@YSoAggressive]

@@DriesOG how come you ended up selling it and what did you get instead?

[@henrycruz45cal]

Why would you consider performance upgrades. You don't work on your own car, you don't race it and you barely drive it. No, it doesn't surprise me that the CoO is low, you don't drive it. Thank good for guys like you though. You hold on to the car till someone that really wants it can buy it from you.

[@TexasRealEstate]

Driven 1,400 miles in the past 3 weeks... Having a great time with it! 🔑 I appreciate your support! 😎👍

[@jadariusanderson9316]

i own a c6zo6 2007 velocity yellow

[@TexasRealEstate]

Awesome to hear! Excellent choice of vehicle!

[@stevend8785]

I'm buying a jet stream blue 2008 Z06 on Friday. I can hardly contain my excitement.

[@TexasRealEstate]

That's an amazing choice of a car! Huge congrats! Super excited for you...

[@TexasRealEstate]

Let me know what your initial impressions of the car were like... Would love to hear!

[@stevend8785]

@@TexasRealEstate what a vehicle. I drove it about 250 miles home. Super powerful and comfortable. Love it. Drove 90-100 the whole way home while getting up to 29mpg at one point.

[@stevend8785]

@@TexasRealEstate kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKrUnayKi7xnqK8

[@TexasRealEstate]

@@stevend8785 That's awesome! I had the same impressions driving mine for the first time after purchase. I drove mine 1,000 miles home from Colorado, was an awesome drive back! Congrats again and enjoy yours in good health!

[@henrycruz45cal]

Trust others to change your oil! Trust? You watch them do it? You don't even change you own battery! $250!

[@TexasRealEstate]

Trust isn't an issue with the right people. 🔑 And I'm not interested in working on my own cars, been there done that. To each their own.

[@Kwerrauque]

Like your video content. I own a 2011 C6 Corvette coup. I daily drive it and love it. Just subscribed

[@TexasRealEstate]

They're awesome cars! I've been daily driving mine as of lately as well. Thanks for your support!

[@robw763]

How did you get a loan at such a low rate? What bank you go through?

[@TexasRealEstate]

RBFCU. Local credit union, typically your local credit unions will have the best rate. That was 5 years ago though. Rates will all be higher today, across the board.

[@OtomoTenzi]

You forgot TICKETS!!!

[@TexasRealEstate]

Haha! Funny enough, the only time I've gotten pulled over in the Z06 was within 2 hours of taking delivery of it in Colorado, on my way back to Texas after easing into the triple digits on an open stretch of highway. Glad to be able to say I landed myself a warning. 😅

[@sonnykim6755]

How many miles have you put on it?

[@TexasRealEstate]

Approaching 5 years of ownership at this time. Bought with 37k miles at 57k now, so about 20k miles in 5 years.

[@terryspray2319]

Hi Did you do the Heads before they loose

[@TexasRealEstate]

I haven't

[@MrFrost-xh6rf]

Next is a video on how much it costs to replace a z06 engine

[@christiantownsend880]

under 500 a month for insurance

[@TexasRealEstate]

Mine is under 100 a month.
