We have a new baby so the Corvette isn't getting much use. I really hate to sell it but I don't like taking up a garage spot and paying insurance for a car that isn't being used. I originally listed the car for $9,200 last October and have only driven it 3k miles since then.

I've owned this Covette since 2003 when it had about 80k miles. I'm the 2nd owner and it's been an excellent car that has had very few
issues. Runs great.

It always amazes me to see a car with that many miles looking that good. I hope when I hit 196k mine is in that good of condition.

That car looks like a 50k mile car, not pushing 200k!! I can tell that you've taken meticulous care of it, GLWS

What is the silver gizmo next to the battery?

Is the TPMS still functional and working correctly?

98Z51

Thanks! Lots of washing and Zaino over the years.

The silver thing by the battery is a fuse holder for the stereo.

The TPMS is still functional and works great. It saved me last summer when I had a puncture in a rear tire going down the highway. It gave me enough warning to take the first exit, find a parking lot and put a plug in it until I could get a proper repair.

Bringing back my old thread with a price reduced to $7,900. Since we had a baby the Vette isn't getting driven enough to justify keeping it around.

there are a couple things that i just know potential buyers are wondering

1. how much oil does it burn
2. is the transmission acting up, have you done frequent fluid changes since you've owned it, and does the ebcm still work

that car is in amazing condition for the mileage

Thanks, I try to keep it in good condition. I was always planning on keeping it a lot longer, and as stuff needed to be replaced I planned on going the high performance route, heads, cam, LT headers, ect. It's been such a good runner stock that I kept it that way.

1. The car doesn't burn any oil, I've never had to add oil between changes.

2. The transmission works great, the fluid gets changed about every 40k miles.

3. No issues with the EBCM or any other electrical issues. The only electrical issues I've ever had on the car was with the HVAC display being dim, that was fixed years ago and has worked fine since. Also had a bad ground shortly after I bought the car, where it wouldn't start. The fix was as simple as cleaning the ground. No problems since.

4. A few more notes about the car... The balancer has a bit of wobble, and it always has since I've owned the car. It is not any worse now than when I bought the car.

Also with the windows up and on coast down, you can hear a little whine from the diff. It's done that for as long as I can remember. Back when the car had around 90k miles it had a leaky side cover on the diff that was repaired. I have been running Amsoil in the diff since then and have had no leaks.

Thats a nice clean vette for that many miles. Sure wish i could find one that looks like that and at that price here where i live cus i'd buy it in a heartbeat.

racebum

if this car lasts two weeks i will be surprised, especially after the last paragraph from the OP.

the fact it's not burning oil at 200k is amazing.
