2011 Grand Sport 3LT M6 14k miles silver coupe (SOLD)
SOLD
Apologies up front for the long listing but I wanted to provide info that I'd want to know if I was a buyer.
After 9 months of ownership, I have decided to sell my 2011 Grand Sport. It's been a tough decision because this car is in such incredible shape. I have zero regrets buying this car because I have experienced owning one of these great C6 Grand Sports. However, I miss having an Auto tranny and want to sell while the market is still strong. My recurring knee issue helps confirm this is the right decision for me.
2011 Grand Sport M6, LS3 w/dry sump, 3LT, HUD, heated memory seats, NPP, glass roof, 14820 miles, mostly stock, clean Carfax/Autocheck, no open recalls, I have a copy of the Auto-Check from when I purchased it.
Looking for $40k firm (I'd love to sell this car to a fellow CF member). KBB shows trade in value from $38k-$42k(same for private party sale). Trades considered for a nice 4th gen Camaro A4 or maybe a C6 A6.
I've also listed the car on CarGurus for $42k and considered a "Good deal" and is $660 under market value.
This garage kept car was 100% bone stock when I purchased it(except for the C7 repo wheels and window tint). I purchased this car from a fellow CF member who purchased the car from his son. Wife and I flew to Detroit to purchase the car. Rick(the seller) told us the story of when they bought the car in 2017 when he and Kevin(Rick's son) drove to Indiana to look at the car. The car was so nice that in addition to the car they purchased the sellers enclosed trailer to haul it home to Detroit. Rick said that this car has never been in rain and I had no reason to question that. I did drive through a little rain on my way home from a car show one afternoon. You can see in included photos that this car is in exceptional condition. There is a link to Rick's listing in the first post in the link above if your interested.
I've had zero issues with this car and everything works perfectly. No CEL's or any weird issues. It looks, drives and even smells close to new. Car has 14820 miles on it with a clean Carfax/Autocheck. Original window sticker, copy of build sheet, owners manual, both key fobs, 2011 Corvette brochure, receipts and records are included. I even have the original owners certificate of registration from 7/22/11. Michelin Super Sports are evenly worn, and have tons of tread with 6k miles on them. Front date code 3315. Rear date code 3016.
I'm VERY meticulous and perfectionistic(its a sickness). Here are things that I have done to the car:
dead pedal M2W switch for NPP (hard wired, no controller or car battery or remote concerns)
upgraded to a 2012/2013 OEM steering wheel
snap in lifting pucks
powder coated GS wheels at 13070 miles
Kenwood MDX706, Apple Carplay/Android Auto head unit
back up camera and front camera
full Z06 3" exhaust: manifolds from low mileage 2011 and mufflers from low mileage 2010
1/4" tunnel plate & Design Engineering heat shield (see pics)

Reason: added an issue
Crack in polycarbonate targa top is 5/8" long. I had forgotten about it due to being on passenger side. It's barely noticeable until the light hits it just right. I've ordered some Methyl Chloride and intend to repair this. Apparently, this is a fairly common problem.
Beautiful car. I just posted my cammed E85 A6 GS for sale. I do miss the manual, if yours was cammed and with similar modifications i would have considered a trade..good luck on the sale.

Funny that I have someone from Detroit reach out to me and talking about flying down and driving it home.
Beautiful car! GLWS. BTW, very envious of your garage! Wish I had a garage that size and that nice.
Thank you. We built the house and a large garage was a must have. It's 28' deep and 42' wide and steps out to 44' wide. 28' deep is fantastic.

Thank you. There's interest in Detroit and CA. It's ironic that wife and I flew to Detroit and drove this car home to Alabama. The guy in Detroit is considering flying down and driving it back to Detroit.... hilarious.
I remembered a crack on the glass top and add the details and pic to post #1 and #2. It's something that I rarely notice and forgot about. I went ahead and added some nice photos to help offset the bad news. 😉
