Default Low Priced Artic White 98 Coupe 6 Speed 134k w/ Many Upgrades

VIN: 1G1YY22G1W5116636

Have Carfax Report, Also Listed on Autotrader

Ad Here: Click Here

I have had this car for almost 5 years, the longest I've held a car. Im the 2nd owner, 1st was older female who sold it at 97k miles. It was always well maintained.

Priced to Sell, No Trades unless you are including a low value daily driver $12,475 Or Best Offer! Title in hand, cash talks. I planned on keeping this car forever but have purchased another C5 that caught my eye so I need to sell. I am disclosing everything about the car below as I would want when purchasing. All paperwork that I have on the car will be included. It will go to ebay if not sold here.

The Bad: The paint isn't in the greatest condition as it was my daily driver, but looks fine from just a few feet away. The Front bumper has a blemish where a car pulled up too far in a supermarket parking lot and driver rear fender has scuffs from a bad buff job. The trans. is sometimes notchy getting into 1st gear. The A/C needs to be recharged. I've just replaced the condenser with a new gm part so there's little freon.

The Good:
Around $10,000 in mods, parts and labor invested within the last 2 years!!
Averaging over 30mpg on the highway, 24 City.
The car needs nothing to drive and be reliable in the future. All the upgrades have been done. Just oil changes and you will have many more miles of smiles.
Car looks and drives fantastic seats from a 2001 and I get asked if it is a new model or have people yell nice vette regularly. Driven from Florida to Texas, Georgia, North Carolina never one issue & 30.5 mpg highway average. I want to keep this car but I would like to purchase a house soon. As you can see with the list below I never intended to sell the car, and didn't spare any money on it.

I'm definitely interested. I emailed you about the car through autotrader this past week. How's the tread on the tires? I'd like to see the car, but I'm on the other side of the state.

I agree, I think it's unbelievable that someone can have a nice Corvette for this price and everyone will assume they are well off!

Thanks, I agree with you I cant believe you can even buy a C5 for this price.
I've lowered it because I have my new C5 already and am not registering it until I still this one. So I cant drive that one until this one sells.
It's not the worse thing in the world to own 2 C5s either though so you never know
