We're trying to buy a house so unfortunately we have to sell our toy.  02 Corvette Convertible in Speedway White with Torch Red Interior. This is not a common color combination and really sets the car apart form all the black and silver ones out there! I have had the car about a year and love driving this bad boy around!  The EBCM has just been replaced, the tranny was replaced about a year ago, new Robbins brand top was just installed (2 mos. ago), new seat leathers and cushions (3 mos. ago), new sun visors, new windshield washer pump, new oil pressure sensor, dash light, mirror and climate control bulbs replaced, AC has just been charged, new steering angle sensor,brake fluid exchange service, lower engine pan gasket replaced, new tire pressure monitors.  The carpets have just been cleaned and the car has just been detailed.  Brand new (unused) Lloyds's black carpet mats! Two sets of keys and remotes. The car did not have the rear center floor stowage cover but I picked up a black one - it just needs to be re-covered in red carpet. When I got the car I was surprised at how nice the interior and body were considering the mileage - it  just needed some maintenance and upkeep.  As you can see, that it is what I have been doing. 

The car is clean but does have some wear and tear corresponding to its age.  The pics are nice but the paint really shines in the sun! I think the interior is really clean  (still has original floor mats) but the drivers side armrest is starting to delam.  I was going to try and have it reseated but adjusted the price instead. There are a few marks on the carpet but they are mostly out of sight and it is still in really good shape. The paint is pretty good but does have some scratches and chips. They are not really noticable until you are up close to the car.  The paint on the top of the rear bumper has some stress marks bu tthe paint is not peeling. Lots of tread left on the tires. Brake pads will probably be due to be changed within a year - depending on your driving habits ;). It looks like the PO painted the center caps on the wheels so if it bothers you you could replace them. One of the lug nut covers has gone missing after I just had the tire pressure monitors installed.  I was going to replace them but thought the new owner might want to have chrome or black instead so I will leave that part up to you. Every once and a while the key will have a "sweet spot" but I just turn the key over and it works fine. The car drives properly and everything works the way it is supposed to - even the retractable headlights and power antenna.

The car has the following option codes:  Z51 - Performance Handling Package, UV6 - Head Up Display, G92 - 3.15 Performance Axle Ratio, AG2 - Six Way Power Passenger Seat, 1SC - Corvette Convertible Preferred Equipment Group 2 (Dual Zone AC, Fog Lamps, Memory Package, Adjustable Sport Bucket Seats, Twilight Sentinel, Power Telescoping and Manual Tilt Steering Column), UZ6 - Bose Speaker & Amplifier System, FE3 - Sport Suspension, AK5 - Driver and Passenger Air Bags.

Great car at a reasonable price.  I am not a mechanic but please feel free to ask any questions.  The car car is not perfect  but it is still a nice car and gets a lot of compliments due to its condition and rare color combination. Thank you but I am not looking to trade for anything.  As I stated we are looking to buy a house or else we would not be selling our toy!  I see that the CL scammers have been making their way onto Ebay - please don't waste my time with your scams as I will report you immediately!

Payment will be received in full before the car leaves my home.  I will assist however I can if the car needs shipped but the responsibility will be the buyers. 

 

Thank you for looking and good luck!

9/13/13

I believe that the Autocheck score is artifically low.

I noticed that Autocheck is indicating that there is an "issue" with the mileage.  The PO bought a third party service policy for the car and it appears that those monkeys reported the mileage incorrectly.  While I am sure it is possible to put 10,000 miles on a car in a little less than a month (from 8/11/11 to 9/9/11), it seems highly unlikely. As far as I know, you can not "roll back" a digital odometer. Unfortunately, I have no way of challenging the mileage reported by the service contract provider on 8/11/11, 9/9/11 or 9/26/11 but this is where the "issue" is stemming from.

Also, Autocheck is listing five (5) owners.  I believe that there has only been three (3). The PO moved from CA to TX and had a new title issued.  I had a title issued on 11/16/12, right after I purchased the car.  However, the lien was not properly recorded on the title at that time so I had to have it recorded again on 3/28/13. This makes it appear that the car changed hands when it did not as I have owned the car since 11/06/12. The lien was paid off in August of this year.

2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray vs the world: How it compares on paper

Mon, Jul 22 2019

The 2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray in its base form offers an astonishing amount of performance for the money. In fact, so impressive is the car's spec sheet that the Corvette kind of exists in two different competitive sets: one of cars priced similarly, and another with cars of similar performance and reputation. To get a feel for how it handles each of these segments, we've compiled specifications for those two sets of players. You can find the first set below, which looks at cars of roughly the same price point. Following that is a bit of analysis, and then there's a chart of cars with similar performance and reputation. And that chart will also have some analysis. Though final pricing for the Corvette hasn't been announced yet, we know the Corvette will start at less than $60,000. And as far as pricing goes, its closest competitor is the Porsche 718 Cayman, which also starts at just under $60,000. Both are mid-engined and rear-drive, but the Corvette offers an extra 195 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque. The Cayman does boast a curb weight of right around 3,000 pounds, so it weighs a few hundred pounds less than the Corvette, but it's likely not enough to make up for the power deficit. The Corvette's sub-3.0-second 0-60 time bears this out against the Cayman's best 4.5-second run. Impressively, though, the Cayman has more cargo space than the Corvette in a package that's nearly 10 inches shorter. The Cayman also still offers a manual option for those that prefer self-shifting. The 2020 Toyota Supra is on the cheap end of this sports car class, just crossing $50,000. It also boasts more power than the Cayman, though it's still down by 160 ponies and 105 pound-feet of torque to the C8. It's also about as roomy as the Corvette, despite being about the same size as the Cayman. Cargo space is a bit tighter. Its driving characteristics will likely differ, too as the Supra sits on a front-engine platform. It might even feel closer to a C7 Corvette in some ways. The other mid-engine entry in this price range is the 2019 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider. Its small 1.7-liter turbo inline-4 only makes 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but it's also far and away the lightest of this group at 2,487 pounds. That's roughly 1,000 pounds lighter than the Corvette. It isn't as fast as the Corvette in a straight line, but that lightness surely pays dividends in cornering and braking.

AMC Trans Am Javelin SST, an ultra-rare underdog, is up for auction

Sat, Sep 9 2023

Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang — the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint — red, white and blue — and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its “ram induction system” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 — a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale. No bid estimate is available yet. Related Video: Motorsports Chevrolet Ford Pontiac Auctions Automotive History Racing Vehicles Classics

2019 Toyota Avalon vs. full-size sedans: How they compare on paper

Mon, Apr 23 2018

Full-size sedans aren't exactly in great demand at the moment, and at least one of the vehicles in this comparison has been rumored to be on the endangered species list. Yet, we've just had our first drive in the 2019 Toyota Avalon, and if anything has a chance of rejuvenating the segment a bit, it's an all-new version of what has long been the segment's benchmark. To see how the new Avalon compares, we've put together the below spreadsheet featuring the Avalon's primary apples-to-apples rivals, the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala. We also included the Nissan Maxima, which is comparable in price, sales and non-luxury badge, and which offers the sort of increased driver engagement promised by the new Avalon XSE and Touring trim levels. We also included the outgoing Avalon for reference as well as that car's luxury cousin, the Lexus ES, which can definitely be cross-shopped with the luxuriously trimmed Avalon Limited. You can use our Compare Cars tool to create your own comparison, such as one featuring the rear-wheel-drive Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger or even Kia Stinger. Alright, enough chit chat. On to the spreadsheet. Performance and fuel economy The GM sedans may come standard with four cylinders, including a mild hybrid system in the LaCrosse, but puh-lease. The V6 is the name of the game in this segment, with outputs now surpassing the 300-horsepower mark. The LaCrosse is the horsepower and torque champ, though it also weighs a bit more than the new 2019 Avalon, so acceleration is likely to be comparable. The Impala weighs a lot more and has only a six-speed automatic, so despite having a wee bit more power, one should expect it to be pokier (not a good sign for a car rumored to be on the chopping block). One would expect the Maxima's 300 hp and lowest curb weight to result in the quickest acceleration, but then it's also strapped to a CVT, which despite being better than ever, is still a CVT. Things get worse for Chevy when you consider the Impala's base four-cylinder gets the same 25 mpg combined as the Avalon's V6 — once again a segment best. Now, should you really prioritize fuel economy, the 2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid really stands out with a 43 mpg rating (or 44 with the base XLE trim) that bests the outgoing Avalon Hybrid. Honestly, after driving this new Hybrid, it actually seems like it would be the best bet for most buyers. There's sufficient power, and it only costs $1,000 more than the comparable V6 version.
