This vehicle was my father's baby.  He was an elderly adult and drove this only when it was nice out, to and from dialysis three times a week for 7 years. It has been garage kept covered since purchasing it.  It has never been abused, driven hard and meticulously maintained.  It has been washed, waxed and cleaned so often, I'm surprised the paint wasn't washed off!  He was insistent on adding aftermarket options as this was his personality.  He hired a local painter (kolorcraftautobody.com) to apply a $2500 custom airbrush flame detail to the silver base paint.  I thought it would be a bit tacky (flames), but it came out better than I believed it ever would.  The paint, detail and clear coat is of the highest quality.  After that was a visit to the local flagship auto accessory installer here in Syracuse (teamiu.com).  Window tint, a remote start, Xenon headlights, undercarriage blue neons & red brake calipers were added.  I asked why he needed a remote start for a summer vehicle only driven in nice weather but if you knew the man, you'd understand why.  He was a bit of a showoff.  An order from California Car Cover for a custom 2 tone cover would complete his accessorizing.  He was a fanatic about this car.  There was a dress code just to get a ride in it.  Clean shoes, or even no shoes (leave them at the curb), clean clothes were a must.  If you were one of the lucky ones, he'd let you get behind the wheel with him riding shotgun for a trip around the block.  Like I said, if you knew the man, you'd understand.  He will be sorely missed.


So there it is.  This will be a 7 day auction with reserve.  The reserve is set at $27,500,  which I think is a steal for what you are getting.  The 2014 Kelly Blue Book on this vehicle, in the shape it's in is $30,500.  Last year, the 2013 KBB value was $28,500, so it has appreciated 2k and will continue to rise as this rare car was only produced for 3 model years, and the last year they wedged the LS2 Corvette motor in it and dropped the 350.  Of course they detuned the LS2 15 HP so it wouldn't steal Corvette sales, but it's held it's own value wise against the C6.   


Ask any questions you like.  I prefer the vehicle is picked up locally, but if I had certified funds cleared in my bank account, and a car carrier showed up, it could leave.  I would assume the potential buyer would like to see this car first hand.  You won't be disappointed.


Also, very important.  This vehicle is listed locally as well so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time if a local buyer steps up to the plate.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
