Great condition 

One-owner
NO accidents
Always kept babied inside a heated garage.
Obsessively kept up with maintenance on a strict schedule using the best fluids.
Driven seasonally part time in good weather. 
Automatic with on wheel F1 paddleshifters give you the best of both worlds. Convenient automatic for times of traffic or conversation, and racetrack ready performance upon request immediately paddle-shifting in speed mode.
A few aftermarket upgrades:
Billy Boat exhaust pipes with a beautiful purr 
Vararam snake charmer air intake
Z51 drilled and slotted rotors from West Coast Corvettes (W.C.C.)
Ceramic road speed rated pads (will never scallop+wear extremely slow)
50% Firehawk RunFlat tires which wear the slowest of any speed rated tire at OEM size
W.C.C. smoke acrylic light kit ( 2 of which are in rough shape. Passenger side front cracked on a hot day in the center so you can see a small crack of light at night. Passenger Rear reacted to a soap I used and became more opaque-ish. $45 to replace the 2 of them, or they are two side 3m taped on, so you can pull them right off if you wish without any risk) 
W.C.C. clear blinker bulb (removes ugly amber appearance)
Black powdercoated OEM alloy C6 corvette rims (light weight, never chip or scratch)
Black powdercoated OEM calipers. 
Extremely high average MPG (in the vehicle's dash information) in comparison to most other corvettes exemplifies that the car was driven smoothly and carefully, and may indicate mostly highway miles (which I know to usually be a nonsense claim that is quite unprovable) however it seems with newer cars there is actually a way to prove it.
This car is as black as possible with all matching blacks. This is all done immaculately and professionally, and looks like it came that way from the dealership other than the two iffy smoke covers. This car is a head turner 24/7, and everyone loves it so much that they will tell you. Has a clean exotic look that stock vettes can not compare to.  
Here are the problems: (Pictures of problems added by Friday Sept.20 @ 2 pm + additional picture and video available on request)
Paint has the normal wear of a 50k mile vehicle
A few small scratches on passenger leather seat bottom
Some cracking on the tips of the aftermarket pipes around the rim of the edge. (I have the OEM pipes with 9000 miles on them, and they are free if you pay to ship them or pick up in person) 
I am available to answer any questions, just text/call 798.o8o8 areacode 860. This vehicle is absolutely gorgeous, and I would not sell it if I were not about to buy a home for my family and I. I hope it brings you the joy it has to me, this is a great looking vehicle that runs perfect. Literally nothing has ever had to be replaced that does not wear naturally. I also have an optional set of used chrome OEM corvette rims available for an additional $400 plus you pay shipping or pick up. Like I said, I will field any questions so feel free to ask.
For those wondering why it says "As is": It is because I will not take returns. Once it is out of my possession, it is yours for good. This has no scheme oriented angle, just a means to prevent myself from potential schemery. Video will be taken before delivery of all parts, components, and functions. Other precautions will also be taken to ensure a successful and mutually fulfilling exchange.
For those wondering why it is a dealership car, the title is in the name of a family dealership I work at, however this vehicle is and always has been my personal vehicle since purchase in 2007, and I have been the only one who has driven it since then. 
Here are some examples of how much I have babied this car. One, If there is construction, no matter what I turn around and find another way. Two, I put a high quality car cover over it in the garage when it is not used (sorry that is not going with the vehicle). Three, I stay far behind 18 wheelers and then pass quickly to avoid any debris firing from the tires. Four, I clean the car before it is covered to avoid the cover potentially causing scratches. Five, I only hand clean the car with high quality soap and microfiber towels, and any waxing etc is done by hired perfectly-reviewed professionals. Well you get the picture. Again, any questions get in touch with me please.
I know I have not sold a car on this account before, or anything for that matter, but I guarantee a smooth and amicable transaction.

Next-gen Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra may use carbon fiber

Thu, Dec 7 2017

It's been generally accepted that the next generation of full-size GM trucks will use some sort of strong, lightweight material for the beds while retaining steel for the cab. While aluminum seems like the most obvious choice, according to Automotive News, the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra will incorporate both aluminum and carbon fiber in their beds. The publication cites sources from within GM, though it seems the introduction of this comparatively exotic material mix is still a few years off. While carbon fiber is both stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum, it takes significantly more time and money to produce, essentially relegating the material to small-volume cars. The main benefit for trucks is the resulting reduction in weight to improve fuel economy without sacrificing the tough, rugged capabilities truck buyers expect. The Ford F-150 made the switch to aluminum for the 2015 model year and it's proved highly successful. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before the competition followed suit. Automotive News says that the next-gen trucks will launch with aluminum beds and that it will take a couple of years before we'll see any carbon fiber incorporated into the design. Even then, only look for the composite material on higher-trim models, with a trickle down to lower-spec trucks possible further in the future. In 2011, GM announced it was working with Japan-based Teijin Limited on a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic. There's a good chance that material's introduction will be on trucks.

GM tells owners not to use SUV wipers due to fire risk

Sun, Oct 11 2015

General Motors is recalling 31,685 examples of the 2016 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia because a short circuit in the windshield wiper motor can potentially lead to a fire. Due to the danger, the company is asking owners not to use the wipers until the problem is fixed, according to The Detroit Free Press citing the Associated Press. A manufacturing defect in the wiper motor cover means that the electrical terminals can come into contact and cause a short. The part could "melt, smoke, or catch fire," according to a statement from GM. The company will get them fixed immediately, and dealers will replace the cover. If there's bad weather at the time the owner specifies to get the recall work completed, the automaker will come pick up the crossovers. Depending on parts availability, the automaker will supply a rental car for customers, as well. The issue was discovered at the factory. According to the company's statement, only 6,405 actually made it to customers, and they were notified immediately by overnight letter. The rest were in dealer stock. The affected crossovers carry build dates between August 18, 2015 and September 24, 2015. Of those, there are 29,295 in the US and 1,073 in Canada. GM Statement: General Motors has told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it will recall approximately 29,295 2016 model year Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia SUVs in the U.S. because the front windshield wiper motor may overheat when in use because of a manufacturing defect. In some cases, the front windshield wiper motor cover may melt, smoke or catch fire. The approximately 6,405 customers who have taken delivery of these vehicles were notified by overnight letter and are urged to contact a GM dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service appointment. These customers should not use the front windshield wipers until they have been repaired. If weather conditions prevent driving the vehicle without using the windshield wipers, GM will arrange to pick up the vehicle for servicing. If repair parts are unavailable, GM will provide a rental car at no cost until parts become available. The total population, including Canada, Mexico and exports, is approximately 31,685. About 25,280 of these vehicles are in dealer stock and will not be sold until repairs are made.

GM pickup truck plant in Flint to add 1,000 assembly workers

Tue, Feb 5 2019

FLINT, Mich. — General Motors said Tuesday it will add 1,000 workers to build new heavy-duty pickup trucks at its plant in Flint, Michigan, and will give priority to GM workers who were laid off elsewhere. The announcement comes the day after GM said it was starting to hand pink slips to about 4,000 salaried workers in the latest round of a restructuring announced in late November that will ultimately shrink its white-collar workforce in North America by 15 percent out of 54,000. GM has come under fire from U.S. President Donald Trump and Midwestern lawmakers for its plans to stop production at five North American factories and cut up to 15,000 jobs in all. The automaker has said it is trying to find new jobs for 1,500 U.S. hourly workers at the affected plants. Flint's truck plant could be a haven for many of these employees. Sales of heavy-duty pickups in the United States have grown to more than 600,000 vehicles a year, up more than 20 percent since 2013, according to industry data. Prices for luxury models can easily top $70,000. GM on Tuesday will celebrate the launch of a new generation of heavy-duty GMC and Chevrolet pickups at the assembly plant in Flint, Michigan, that is now building all such trucks for the company. Elsewhere in the company on Monday, two people briefed on the cuts in the white-collar salaried workforce said GM is cutting hundreds of jobs at its information technology centers in Texas, Georgia, Arizona and Michigan and more than 1,000 jobs at its Warren, Michigan Tech Center. GM is filing new required mass layoff notices with state agencies and disclosed the cuts to lawmakers. The largest U.S. automaker announced in November it would cut a total of about 15,000 jobs and end production at five North American plants. The cuts include eliminating about 8,000 salaried workers, or about 15 percent. GM cut about 1,500 contract workers in December and said 2,300 salaried workers accepted buyouts, officials said. "These actions are necessary to secure the future of the company, including preserving thousands of jobs in the U.S. and globally. We are taking action now while the overall economy and job market are strong, increasing the ability of impacted employees to continue to advance in their careers, should they choose to do so," GM spokesman Pat Morrissey said, adding the bulk of the cuts should be completed in the next two weeks. Morrissey said GM would provide salaried workers with severance packages and job placement services.
