Hi Folks,

I am selling my 2012 Corvette Convertible with the 3LT Package.  Automatic Transmission.  The exterior color is Blade Silver Metallic, the interior is Titanium Gray and the convertible top is Black.  This car is in excellent condition.  It only has 1,990 miles on it, though the mileage will probably go up some due to test rides, etc.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with this car.  There is not a lot to say about the condition since it is very close to new condition.  I keep all of my cars and motorcycles in top condition.  All my vehicles are stored in a climate controlled shop.  I am a fanatic about maintenance and cleanliness.  I bought this car new from Deery Brothers Cheverolet in Iowa.  When I received the car, I immediately added 93 octane fuel and SeaFoam.  At 408 miles I had Bud's Cheverolet, St. Mary's, OH, do an oil change and filter change.  I always change the oil and filters in my vehicles after the first several hundred miles.

I have also done several upgrades.  I installed a new Kenwood DNX570HD Stereo Head Unit with External Bluetooth Mic.  This has Garmin Navigation, Sirius XM, Bluetooth, CD Player, etc.  Also installed JL Audio front and rear speakers.  The stereo upgrade cost $1,300.  I still have the original Bose unit and speakers.  Nothing has been altered on the car to install the stereo.  It was simply plug and play and can easily be switched back to OEM, which is the Bose 9 Premium Audio System.

The car also came with the OEM DVD Navigation System.  I did not use this system, nor did I open the DVD that comes with it.

I have not activated the 1 year XM radio free trial.  Nor have I opened the DVD for the Garmin Navigation.  I also did not activate the free 6 months OnStar subscription. 

In addition to the 3LT Package, this car also as the F55 option, which is the Magnetic Selective Ride suspension package.  If you have never used this, it is simply awesome!  I was very impressed with the quality of the ride.  When you switch it from Tour to Sport, it really firms it up, but Tour is perfect for everyday driving.  I would never own another Corvette without it.

Another great option, which this car has, is the 6 Speed Paddle Shift Automatic Transmission.  What a blast!  I have always been a manual transmission guy, but not anymore!  In fact, I bought a 2013 Mazda Miata and ordered the Paddle Shift Auto Transmission on it, also!

The car also has the Traction Control System and Active Handling System.

Also added was the NPP exhaust option ($1,700.00).  This is a dual exhaust mode which allows the user to choose whether to run in quiet mode or loud mode.  Again, another option I wouldn't do without.  This allows you to run in a quiet mode when you don't want the noise.  But, when you turn it to loud, it really wakes up!  From the factory, it only becomes loud when the RPM reaches a certain threshold.  However, I also had installed Sunset Creations Elite Exhaust Commander ($300.00), which allows the user to control the quiet/loud mode at their choosing.  The Exhaust System was installed by Troy at Bud's Cheverolet, St. Mary's, OH.

More upgrades:

Lloyd Floor Mats with embroidery and Lloyd Cargo Mat ($300.00)

WindRestrictor ($400)

Dual Cup Holders ($50)

I think that just about describes the vehicle. I encourage people to come and see the car in person. I think you will be impressed with the car and the cleanliness of my home and shop.  I am a very particular person when it comes to my vehicles and shop.

When I received the car, I also did an extensive detailing to it. I first gave it a thorough washing using only car wash soap. Then I used a clay bar on the entire car. When I was done, I did another thorough washing. Next up came a gentle polish using my Flex XC 3401 Orbital Polisher. After that I finished off with Wolfgang's Paint Sealant.  For everyday cleaning I use Pinnacle Souveran Liquid Spray Wax and Pinnacle Detail Spray. I only use high quality Microfiber towels on my vehicles. 

I have the clear title in hand.  I have all receipts and paperwork including both key fobs and manuals.  I also have the original window sticker.  The vehicle is covered by the remainder of the 5 year/100,000 mile warranty. 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks for your time!

Chris McCarthy

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
