2007 Z51 3LT CORVETTE. MANUAL, HUD, NAV, TRANSPARENT ROOF 63.5K
Z51 3LT. Burgundy with Camel Leather interior.
I am the 2nd owner after a one year lease. I have had no mechanical issues with the car. It has been rock solid in
every way. The car has been and is amazing in my opinion. A total delight.
The Vette is respected. Always garaged or covered at my work. I do not drive in the rain, race, over-rev, stress or
abuse. I buy Lucas Oil gasoline additive by the gallon and I have added it into every tank 99.9% of the time. I
have performed two induction services, not because it needed it, but only because I am keeping the internal engine
pristine. Of course only Mobil 1 oil is used. I have rarely, maybe five times, used the air conditioner. It is ice
cold.
Washed weekly and detailed using only McGuire products and Aerospace 303. Waxed every quarter. I blow dry the car
after every hand wash. The paint has minimal swirls and is glossy. All crevices and the engine and interior are
wiped clean with a moist microfiber rag. The undercarriage and chassis is monitored at each wash and kept very
clean. The rubber is treated with silicon, the glass with alcohol. I weigh 160 lbs. The seats are firm and new
feeling. I do not smoke. I do not eat in the car. The upholstery is excellent and smells neutral or new.
The new Nitrogen filled Michelin Pilot Sport Run-Flat tires have 3K on them. The brakes are excellent. The engine
and drive train are excellent. The Battery is sealed top of the line. The rubber seals throughout the entire car
are soft and supple and excellent. The plastics are moist, shiny, preserved and protected because of the Aerospace
303. The Bose Premium Stereo is excellent. The Navigation with the stock disk and DVD player is excellent. Two
fobs, a car cover and cargo net are included.
Minor Blemishes include:
1. 1. On the hood there is a 2mm paint chip from a highway gravel which also made a similar 2mm nick on the
windshield.
2. 2. On the side top edge of the body, where the hatchback seam is located, there are some minor scratches to the
paint, as if the guy who leased it for a year let his golf bag drag across it as he was putting in into the luggage
hold.
3. 3. Car Fax Reports a minor incident that I was aware of when I purchased the car. I, myself, had it thoroughly
evaluated. I purchased the Vette, brought it home and had it fixed at my dealer. Damage Problem: The front nose
fiberglass was cracked. There was no other damage. The guy probably nosed to close to something. Solution: I had
the nose replaced at my dealer Michael Chevrolet of Fresno. I came by after work each day and witnessed each phase
of their replacement and paint matching. I requested no license plate holes.
3. 4. Corvette industries and all Dealerships will admit that the Transparent Roof will develop some micro fine
hairline striations over time. These micro fine hairline striations are unavoidable and almost undetectable. They
are inherent in the plastic.
These blemishes were there the day I purchased the car and were too minor for me to consider with such a beautiful
Vette as it is.
There are many specifications as you know, especially with the 3LT. And then there is the Z51 package to consider.
Please read up and ask if you need further clarification.
Just so you know: Dual 8 way power – heated seats, driver into/exit memory. Auto dimming rearview with compass.
Dual lighted vanity. Steering is telescopic/tilt. Navigation has a voice option. XM capable with hidden antennae in
driver side mirror. HUD and Digital displays for all fluids, gases, and G rated turns. Security Alarm.
Personal Notes: This is my second Vette. I have preserved this car since day one. The color combination is pure
class. The lines and symmetry of the body are beautiful. The engineering is exhilarating EVERY time you drive it.

Peter Max staring down $1M lawsuit over Corvette collection sale
Wed, Dec 17 2014Pop artist Peter Max recently sold off his collection of 36 vintage Chevrolet Corvettes – one each from 1953 to 1989 – for an undisclosed amount. The new owners have already announced plans to restore some of them and auction the models off sometime soon. Up until then, the sports cars had been languishing in various garages around New York City for decades and were caked in dust and grime. However, Max's end of the transaction has just become more complicated, because two men are suing the artist claiming he employed them to complete the deal first. The men allege that Max hired them to broker the sale of the 36 Corvettes in exchange for a 10-percent commission, according to the New York Post. They claim to have emails and text messages proving the existence of the deal, and are taking Max to court for $1 million over the squabble. The collection of Corvettes was amassed in 1989 as part of a prize package from the television network VH1, and Max bought the cars from the winner intending on using them for an art project. He never got around to it, though, and parked the sports cars around New York, until he finally sold them over the summer.
New Takata problem results in recall of 414 GM vehicles
Mon, Oct 19 2015An airbag-inflator rupture discovered by Takata during testing has resulted in a new recall affecting 414 vehicles from General Motors, including 395 of them in the US. This latest campaign covers 2015 model-year examples of the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Camaro, Equinox, Malibu, and GMC Terrain. There are no reported breaks in any of these vehicles on the road, and the company estimates only one percent of them actually have the faulty parts. According to documents submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), one side-airbag inflator failed a cold test at -40 Fahrenheit "releasing high pressure gas and propelling the separated components apart." The supplier told GM about the failure the next day. In these vehicles, the safety device might not only burst but the bag could inflate incorrectly, as well. GM and Takata say that a cause is not yet known, but they are "conducting an investigation." GM will begin notifying affected owners via overnight mail on Oct. 19. Dealers will replace the side airbag modules on all of the affected vehicles with new components outside of the suspect lot. All of the removed parts will also be collected for further study. Takata's faulty front airbag inflators have resulted in a serious scandal for the supplier. Initial figures indicated 34 million US vehicles are need of repair, though more recent figures have knocked that down to 23.4 million bad parts in 19.2 million automobiles. GM was already among the dozen automakers with models to fix, and some of its pickups were affected, along with the Saab 9-2X and Pontiac Vibe. GM Statement: General Motors is recalling 395 cars and crossovers in the U.S. because one of the front seat side air bags inflators may be defective. In the event of a deployment, the air bag's inflator may rupture and the air bag may not properly inflate. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike the vehicle occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. GM is unaware of any incidents involving vehicles with these components, which were part of a lot in which one inflator failed acceptance testing at the supplier. Dealers will replace the side air bag module or modules in affected vehicles. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total population of the recall is 414, GM estimates 1 percent of the recalled vehicles may have the defect.
2015 Chevrolet Trax
Thu, Dec 4 2014After the obligatory product presentation for the 2015 Trax, I caught up with Steve Majoros, Chevrolet's director of marketing for crossovers and cars, and asked him to elaborate on which markets his planners believe will be the hot starters for this tiny CUV. Without much hesitation, Majoros began to click off traditional sales havens for Subaru, namely, New England and the snowy bits of the East Coast, Colorado and the Pacific Northwest. That news might not surprise you, but it did me. Perhaps it's something as basic as the Trax's tall-hatchback looks, or the emphasis Chevrolet put on the urban driving cycle during my test in San Diego. But before my chat with Majoros, I'd considered this a crossover pointed at the Millennial city mouse more than his bumpkin cousin. But a closer look had me re-examining the granola cred of Chevy's smallest crossover. Having spent my fair share of time in New England and around New Englanders, I started by mentally listing the Trax's Subaru-like traits: practicality, thrift, all-weather ability and, well, just a dash of ugliness. (I suppose a hatchback needn't always be ugly to sell in Maine, or Boulder or Portland... but a 'distinctive' face doesn't seem to hurt.) After a day of driving through sunny San Diego and its surroundings, I can say that Trax makes an interesting case for itself against the standard bearers of the L.L. Bean set, but I'm less sure of its argument for young urbanites. The Trax looks a lot like an Equinox whose suit shrunk in the wash. Chevy's has downsized its own, rather conservative crossover styling to fit the proportions of the subcompact Trax; to my eyes, it looks a lot like an Equinox whose suit shrunk in the wash. That's fine for offering a cohesive look for the Chevy family of crossovers, but it seems out of step with the rest of the segment. If the Trax's current competitive set were the cast of a high school-based TV show, the Kia Soul would play the lovable nerd, the Nissan Juke perhaps the outsider musician and the Subaru XV Crosstrek the athletic outdoorsy kid. Chevy may see the Trax as the hipster chick wearing intentionally ironic mom jeans, but to me the styling is a little too on the nose; more like an actual grownup trying to hang with the kids. These mom jeans are genuine. Per my earlier point, that quasi-conservative look may be just fast enough for staid New Englanders, but I have a hard time seeing the bluff, big-Bowtied front end playing in Bushwick or Wicker Park.
