 The car belonged to my neighbor's husband who passed in February. He bought the car brand new in June of 1997 with 1 mile on it as you can see on the title, and has been the only owner and driver of the car. He was 83 when he passed so he was either 65 or 66 when he bought it. This car has not been abused. She finally decided to sell it to me in mid May. The car sat for just over 5 months, so upon purchase, I had it fully serviced at the local Chevy dealership. The service included a new battery, radiator flush, oil change, new spark plugs and thorough inspection. The car has 103,000 miles, which include 3 trips to Vegas from Tennessee and back, and 9 or 10 trips to the Florida Keys from Tennessee and back.  I've driven the car to and from work, which is a 120 mile trip there and back, several times, for a total of 687 miles since my purchase. The car runs BEAUTIFULLY. Very quiet, comfortable ride, yet very strong, and responsive as well. The car is 100% stock other than the deer and crossflags emblem I added. This is a true SS impala, not a clone, as can be found on the codes in the trunk. On a scale of 1-10, the leather is a 10/10, the carpet is 9/10, and the paint is 9.5 of 10, with no noticeable scratches or dings. Everything on the car works as it should from heat and ac, locks and windows, EVEN THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS ON THIS CAR. The tires are BF GOODRICH GFORCE 255/50/17 which was stock option when produced. There is approximately 80-85% tread left, the tires look great all around. No curb rash on the wheels at all. This car is in unbelievable condition. My description or the pictures do it no justice! I own a 2011 Camry and a 2010 Silverado, and neither are as clean as this Impala. It's truly remarkable, and unbelievable the pampering and care this car has received. I've seen numerous b-body's, even some with under 30,000 miles, but this is the cleanest, purest SS I've EVER seen! 

BAD:  
The car sat for over 5 months in a detached garage after the owner's passing. Squirrels nested under the hood and scratched the insulation under the hood. (Pics below)
The odometer fades in and out which is common for these vehicles. You cannot see the mileage during the day, but it does fade in and out, and is visible at night time.
There are 2 plastic knob covers missing from the factory radio adjustments. You can still adjust the bass and treble without the covers.
The rear driver window rolls up and down, but does come off track momentarily.


Please feel free to message me your number for videos and any more pics you may want... Also, do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have about the vehicle, as I know it's entire history, and have seen the service records dating back to 2002.  I have 100% positive feedback, so please bid with confidence, as you can assure that I am an honest seller, that has yet to disappoint a customer. Thanks for stopping by and God Bless you all!!

GM opens official investigation into C8 Corvette transmission leaks

Mon, Nov 1 2021

In March 2020, a month after Chevrolet began customer deliveries of the 2020 C8 Corvette, a GM dealer technician created a Reddit thread about a leaking gearbox in a Corvette with 32 miles. That car hadn't even been sold yet. Since then, as a search of "C8 Corvette transmission leak" shows, it's been tales of woe for some owners. Something in the Tremec TR-9080 transaxle in the back of the mid-engined Corvette doesn't work as it should, the fault able to cause codes that the transmission needs service, or that the driver needs to shift to park. In some cases, the battery would die because of follow-on issues after the initial transmission code, that code preventing the car from powering down. As Autoevolution reports, GM filed paperwork with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in August to look into what's going on. Between forum threads and GM's investigation document, there are several issues mentioned. The most common appears to be the dual-clutch transmission leaking fluid due to gasket failures like the one suffered by one owner at 858 miles, and another for an owner currently enduring a second leaking transmission. The Midengined Corvette Forum reported that Chevy engineers redesigned the TR-9080 pan, fitting Corvettes with the new unit at some point in the 2021 model year. The original pan was stamped steel unit affixed to the engine with two studs and 13 bolts, plus "reinforcement plates." The updated pan is said to be a cast aluminum unit affixed with two studs and 17 bolts, omits the reinforcement plates, and gets a new machined new groove around its edge to seat the gasket seal. The GM paperwork now at the NHTSA mentions a P1789 code, and says one reason for it could be "debris on the park position sensor magnet causing an incorrect position reading to the TCM." This might be caused by another issue mentioned in forums, which is clogged transmission filters. GM gives instructions for returning transmission filters to the company, and a poster on one forum said the Corvette tech at the dealer where he bought his Corvette told him the automaker "requires every used transmission filter to be returned to GM."  Whatever's going on, the problems haven't stopped, and they go beyond the P1789 code. Over the weekend, a 2022 Corvette owner posted on Corvette Forums that he got a check engine light on his car after just 850 miles.

Valet mode captures joyride in red Corvette

Thu, Dec 18 2014

A man in California is among the first to catch a valet behaving badly in his 2015 Corvette using a controversial built-in recording feature. Dan Cowles told KTLA 5 when he bought his dream car, a 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, he opted for the Performance Data Recorder. The Corvette PDR uses a high-definition camera mounted in the windshield header, a microphone in the cabin and a GPS receiver that record and track the sports car's movements and sounds. They work together to produce a video with telemetry overlay, so you can see acceleration rates, lap times and g-forces. The system can be customized to show extensive performance data, or simply video of your drive like a traditional dash cam. It also comes with Valet Mode, which locks the glove box, disables entertainment and records video. The audio recording feature ran afoul of several state's recording consent laws, but this video has no audio, indicating the fix may have been as easy as turning off the microphone. Cowles dropped off his hot red 'Vette with the valets at the Segerstrom Center for the Performing Arts in Costa Mesa, CA. When he got his car back he checked the PDR and discovered footage of the valet taking a short, but intense, joyride in the garage. In the video, the valet finds a straightaway in a tiered parking garage and pushes the car to 50 miles per hour in five seconds before quickly stopping. He then parks the car without incident. The valet then gets out of the car and takes one more admiring look at the front. The valet company has yet to commented on the video, according to Fox News, but valets everywhere should be on notice; that little red Corvette you have your eye on may have its eyes on you.
