I'm selling my well maintained 2000 convertible. It has just over 27,000 miles. It was an Arizona car until 2011. In addition to the standard equipment it has the following options: polished aluminum wheels, leather "sport seats", 12 disc CD, active handling system, head up display, dual zone AC, power telescoping steering column & manual tilt, six way power passenger seat, memory package, fog lamps, twilight sentinel, and floor mats. It has new "Michelin Pilot "run flats".
The following is the repair history: In February, 2012, I had all the trans axle and transmission seals replaced. Currently, I have a small leak at the drivers side rear axle shaft, at the transaxle cover. The C5 Corvette is known to be plagued with this issue, apparently it is a design flaw in engineering that causes the seal to fail ( see photo).
I have included photos to show the cosmetic flaws: "pinch marks to fabric of top, surface wear on side of console where my leg rubbed. The interior is in excellent condition. There are no water leaks. I changed the oil at regular intervals with "Mobil 1". It is stored winters. I installed "Euro" tail light lenses, and the amber side marker lenses. It has a padded partition between the trunk and passenger compartment. The red fender stripes are vinyl.
In two years of ownership, I have driven the Corvette around 9,000 miles. It delivers 28 + miles per gallon on the highway. The Corvette is sold "as is". It has never been in an accident. I am an NCRS member, and a member of the Michigan Chapter NCRS.
On Sep-08-13 at 14:14:30 PDT, seller added the following information:
I need to clarify the leaky axle seal issue for those bidding. I had the drivers side trans axle cover replaced in July 2012. In August 2013, it began to drip again. The mechanics diagnosis was that if replaced, there was no way to guarantee that it would not start dripping again in a few months, or may never again leak. He emphasized that the issue involved the engineering of the transaxle mounting, which was never addressed by GM, until the C6 Corvette came out. I want to make full disclosure of this issue, to avoid any misunderstanding.

GM, Pilot will build EVgo fast chargers at 500 truck stops across U.S.
Thu, Jul 14 2022All of our maps showing electric vehicle charging stations across the U.S. are going to need an update. Today, General Motors, Pilot and EVgo announced plans to work together on a nationwide DC fast charging network. The plan calls for 2,000 charging stalls that can deliver up to 350 kW to be installed at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J travel centers in the U.S. The goal is to have DC fast chargers available in 50-mile intervals across the country. The new charging stations will feature GM's "Ultium Charge 360" branding and "Pilot Flying J" logos but will not be limited to drivers of GM EVs. The plugs will use CCS connectors and be available to anyone. GM EV owners can take advantage of benefits, including the ability to make exclusive reservations, get discounts on charging costs and streamline the charging process with Plug and Charge and in-vehicle apps that can provide real-time charger availability. The first installation phase will take place in 2023, and "the bulk of the installations" should be completed by 2025, EVgo CEO Kathy Zoi said during a conference call with reporters announcing the plan. "We're gonna get going immediately and commence all of that engineering and planning stuff," she said. "We've got a pretty orderly plan." Pilot CEO Shameek Konar said the company expects the new EV charging stations to coexist with the current fuel infrastructure. "An average Pilot Flying J location is about 10 acres," Konar said. "This will be in addition to all of our gas pumps. The way I think about it is, this is a new source of energy that is going to coexist with gas for quite some time. We can debate how long, but we need to serve both groups of customers." Installing DC fast chargers at hundreds of Pilot's travel centers — aka truck stops — means there should be food, drinks, restrooms, WiFi and even showers available while you wait for an EV to charge. Pilot recently announced its “New Horizons” plan that will invest $1 billion in upgrading Pilot travel centers with more premium amenities, including expanded seating and lounge areas. While the exact amount of time it will take to charge an EV using these new stations will vary on the EV and its current state of charge, most EVs can refill from a low state of charge to around 80 percent in 20-30 minutes on a fast charger. The new stations are future-proofed to deliver up to 350 kW, a charge rate that few EVs today can handle.

GM diesel pickups first to undergo extra EPA, CARB testing
Tue, Sep 29 2015The effects of Volkswagen's long-running diesel emissions evasion are starting to spill over to other automakers, but General Motors is taking things in stride. The 2.8-liter, four-cylinder Duramax in the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon is the first engine to get extra scrutiny by the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board, Automotive News reports. Rather than just the usual in-lab test, it's also being checked on the road. However, the extra evaluation shouldn't have any impact on when the trucks with his mill hit dealers later this fall. "We're in our final stages of the EPA certification, and our launch is on track," Chevy spokesperson Otie McKinley tells Autoblog. The four-cylinder diesel in the trucks makes 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and the automaker is touting low NOx production. In the announcement for the Colorado's specs, the company calls it "the cleanest diesel truck engine ever produced by General Motors." The tech includes exhaust gas recirculation to lower combustion temperatures and improve emissions. There's also a urea tank like on the bigger diesels for full-size trucks, and it gets refilled in time with oil changes. An indication on the instrument panel lets drivers know when that's needed, too. Even with the more demanding testing, the company doesn't seem too worried about the four-cylinder passing. "Part of our development process is on-road and off-road [laboratory] testing," Scott Yackley, Chevy Trucks assistant chief engineer, said to Automotive News. In the wake of the VW scandal, the EPA has pledged more rigorous testing. Before, on-road emissions evaluations were largely limited to heavy-duty vehicles, but the agency has decided to apply the checks more often to other models. There's also now greater cooperation with Canadian authorities.
