Need a little help near Springfield, MA
Asking for a little help. Looking to buy 2010 Grand Sport.

Just a heads up, there was an accident reported 4 months ago on the car fax report from that dealers site. It could be minor accident as i don't see any more info, but it's something that you have to look into. good luck, looks like a beaut, and very low price IMO
edit: 8/29/13 accident reported, vehicle towed.
11/26/13 allignment performed, vehicle offered for sale.
Could be nothing, could be reason second owner sold...

I'm trackin on the accident report. The car was hit from behind, damaged to the rear facia, exhaust. All was replaced with new, so says the dealer who repaired the car, and is not the current seller. This is why I would greatly appreciate some one in the area to look it over. And it looks like I have a volunteer. Stay Tuned every one.
But, again thanks fo the info.

See if the repairing dealer can supply the invoice of repair to you, maybe? (without the owners info, of course) I can't see why they wouldn't supply that.

413 GS lives near the car, and has an appointment on Wensday to inspect the car both on and off the lift. Weather permitting test drive and check it out.
I spoke with 413 GS and if you can believe this, 413 GS, expereinced the same sort of accidient with is GS. Gladly I report he had a good experience with repairs. I think this semi-qualifies him to inspect the car.
I will try to locate and contact the repair dealership.

Update:
My New Corvette Forum Friend, Jose ...aka...413 GS, has just stopped by the dealership for a show room inspection. He called me straight away and his comments were, Amazing, perfect paint and finish. That this car is an awsome buy, don't let it getaway, you can't do better. Test Drive is scheduled tommorow. Stay Tuned to the same bat channel, same bat time!

I think Balise Chevrolet does a good job of keeping customers happy. Their service charges, on the other hand, are stratospheric. I've tried to give them my business on a number of occasions and found their service prices twice to three times what independents are charging for the same work. Not a complaint, just an observation.

Hey Boxcar jump on that car! Sounds good. I Know very well where Black River is. I worked three years up that way building the new road and bridges going from 81 to Fort Drum. You gonna drive that car home if you get it or have it shipped? It would be a tough drive to BlackRiver in that with all the lake effect that is falling. If you get it we should meet up for a cruise and some waxing when spring gets here. Here is my ride.

Morning Update:
Had to raise my voice to the dealership a little this morning. They were attempting to bully me in making a decssion and give up some cash. It irratated me, so I informed them that I have a second option of a 2007 LMB Z51 with some very nice mods and 7100 miles on the odometer for the same price with a private seller who I'm sure that after a year of sitting his car, is ready to sell. Thanks for listen to my rant.
Well the trailer is reserved, now the question is NYC or MA.....LMB or CRM...Z51 or GS? The decission is at hand.

cdoo932, I like....I like a lot your sled. Nice ride. Your strips, paint or vinyl? To answer your trailering it home this Saturday. The problem is which one of the two. Ever thought about tracking, I go on couple three each year with the NASA organization. It's blast.

Boxcar, the stripes are vinyl. No I haven't been on a track with it yet. Almost went to NYState Saftey Track in Davenport,NY this past fall but got too busy with work. Good luck with the car. Watch the weather for this Saturday...word is snow.

Hey I've been to that track in davenport. Had some good fun running my 87 IROC around it. haven't had the vette on it yet, but i might next year. For the price it's good fun. I prefer running around lime rock or watkins, as you can carry allot more speed at those tracks. But it's worth a visit!
