 1998 Corvette, Silver with Red interior. As a former Corvette Shop owner (I retired last December) I frequently ran into good deals and this is one of them.  I bought this car about a year and a half ago from the local BMW dealer who took in as a trade-in and then called me to give me the opportunity to buy the vehicle wholesale.  Why would they do that?  Because I have a friend that works there and this car has had around $5,000 spent on it prior to trade-in and it would be a shame to just wholesale it.   I bought it on the spot.  Since then, I have put less then 1000 miles on the car and repaired a few minor problems.

Prior to trade-in -- 4 new Pilot Sports, new ZO6 Calipers, New slotted Rotors and ZO6 Titanium Exhaust.  Additionally, the stock wheels have been chromed.  I repaired the radio and the driver's sport seat.

Everything works and the car is fully equipped with selective ride control, sport seats, glass top (only), power windows, door locks and seats.  AM/FM CD radio, intermittent wipers, cruise control, cold AC and dual climate control.  No chips, cracks or stars in the windshield.  MPG is about 30 on the freeway if you keep your foot out of it.

The tires have less than 1000 miles on them still look new.  The car runs great and I would not have a second thought about driving it to New York tomorrow.  I drove this car on Corvette Club functions for the past year without any problems.

Minor Issues:  Driver's seat bottom while not ripped, the thread is starting to pull at the seams (see pictures).  There are a couple of small scratches (touched-up) on the car and a few rock chips (mostly touched-up) on the hood.  The driver's floor mat (that protects the carpet) needs to be replaced.

My reserve is less than the price I paid for the car, so there is the potential of a very good deal here -- thousands below Kelley Blue Book.  Since selling my shop, I have way too many cars without room to keep them.  My loss your gain.  Please ask questions and look closely at the pictures.  This is a western car that has lived in California and Nevada and has no rust issues.

Clear California title in hand.

If at all possible, please make arrangements to see and drive the car. This car is sold as is, where is with no warranty.  I will work with the buyer for shipping if necessary.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
