I requested the seller to take a picture of the sticker under the hood. This is the sticker. It does say "California class on it" Is the car good?
Also, the seller asking price is $52,000. Car is 2010 GS, 1600 miles, 3LT, automatic, Navigation, clean title and one owner. Seller also installed a E-force supercharger on it. It dyno at 509 RWHP and 467 RWTQ. Are those numbers where it should be? Is that a fair price?

FWIW, assuming all this above is good...I would drive it home. I didn't drive mine because it was done during the winter.

I have found that cars like this that have similar mods and low miles have a reason they are getting rid of them so to me it would be a big red flag and would stay well clear of performance modded car. You may find that a lot of those very few miles were put on the car 1/4 mile at a time. The mods add no value and in most cases lower it below a similar undmodded car.
This appears to be the car you are thinking of buying and according to the web site it was sold on the 5th the day before you first posted this thread.

Keep in mind that the supercharger and other tunes or mods mean that most likely the GM factory 5/50 warranty is no longer valid and if you find there are any problems with the motor later you are out of luck. I would think long and hard before doing this.

So if it has 7500+ miles you don't need that "CALIFORNIA" sticker correct????

Little advice from a car hauler and someone that has seen way to many e bay sales go bad. Fly in, take two days off and drive it home. You'll have a blast on I-40 in that 75 mph speed zone and they don't bother cars for running 80.
I"m sure there is nothing wrong with the car but you get that insurance of knowing its right before you own it.
1200 miles is a breeze and the trip will make owning it even more special..
Its the toy you have been waiting for. Do it...

yup...correct. > 7500 is considered "Used" in CA. It will have to pass the smog test but as stated before all Corvettes are 50 state emissions legal...so unless there are non-CARB legal modifications, it should pass emissions with no problem.

Had the guy send it over to me anyways, even though the car has more than 7500 miles. 
Is this CA? It obviously says CALIFORNIA so I'm guessing so.
With that said, it seems like most have the California?

Was looking at an old thread and came upon your shout out....Thanks. It is amazing how folks that don't have the correct facts can spout opinions that would've derailed this buyer.
