Hi Folks,

I am selling my 2012 Corvette Convertible with the 3LT Package.  Automatic Transmission.  The exterior color is Blade Silver Metallic, the interior is Titanium Gray and the convertible top is Black.  This car is in excellent condition.  It only has 1,990 miles on it, though the mileage will probably go up some due to test rides, etc.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with this car.  There is not a lot to say about the condition since it is very close to new condition.  I keep all of my cars and motorcycles in top condition.  All my vehicles are stored in a climate controlled shop.  I am a fanatic about maintenance and cleanliness.  I bought this car new from Deery Brothers Cheverolet in Iowa.  When I received the car, I immediately added 93 octane fuel and SeaFoam.  At 408 miles I had Bud's Cheverolet, St. Mary's, OH, do an oil change and filter change.  I always change the oil and filters in my vehicles after the first several hundred miles.

I have also done several upgrades.  I installed a new Kenwood DNX570HD Stereo Head Unit with External Bluetooth Mic.  This has Garmin Navigation, Sirius XM, Bluetooth, CD Player, etc.  Also installed JL Audio front and rear speakers.  The stereo upgrade cost $1,300.  I still have the original Bose unit and speakers.  Nothing has been altered on the car to install the stereo.  It was simply plug and play and can easily be switched back to OEM, which is the Bose 9 Premium Audio System.

The car also came with the OEM DVD Navigation System.  I did not use this system, nor did I open the DVD that comes with it.

I have not activated the 1 year XM radio free trial.  Nor have I opened the DVD for the Garmin Navigation.  I also did not activate the free 6 months OnStar subscription. 

In addition to the 3LT Package, this car also as the F55 option, which is the Magnetic Selective Ride suspension package.  If you have never used this, it is simply awesome!  I was very impressed with the quality of the ride.  When you switch it from Tour to Sport, it really firms it up, but Tour is perfect for everyday driving.  I would never own another Corvette without it.

Another great option, which this car has, is the 6 Speed Paddle Shift Automatic Transmission.  What a blast!  I have always been a manual transmission guy, but not anymore!  In fact, I bought a 2013 Mazda Miata and ordered the Paddle Shift Auto Transmission on it, also!

The car also has the Traction Control System and Active Handling System.

Also added was the NPP exhaust option ($1,700.00).  This is a dual exhaust mode which allows the user to choose whether to run in quiet mode or loud mode.  Again, another option I wouldn't do without.  This allows you to run in a quiet mode when you don't want the noise.  But, when you turn it to loud, it really wakes up!  From the factory, it only becomes loud when the RPM reaches a certain threshold.  However, I also had installed Sunset Creations Elite Exhaust Commander ($300.00), which allows the user to control the quiet/loud mode at their choosing.  The Exhaust System was installed by Troy at Bud's Cheverolet, St. Mary's, OH.

More upgrades:

Lloyd Floor Mats with embroidery and Lloyd Cargo Mat ($300.00)

WindRestrictor ($400)

Dual Cup Holders ($50)

I think that just about describes the vehicle. I encourage people to come and see the car in person. I think you will be impressed with the car and the cleanliness of my home and shop.  I am a very particular person when it comes to my vehicles and shop.

When I received the car, I also did an extensive detailing to it. I first gave it a thorough washing using only car wash soap. Then I used a clay bar on the entire car. When I was done, I did another thorough washing. Next up came a gentle polish using my Flex XC 3401 Orbital Polisher. After that I finished off with Wolfgang's Paint Sealant.  For everyday cleaning I use Pinnacle Souveran Liquid Spray Wax and Pinnacle Detail Spray. I only use high quality Microfiber towels on my vehicles. 

I have the clear title in hand.  I have all receipts and paperwork including both key fobs and manuals.  I also have the original window sticker.  The vehicle is covered by the remainder of the 5 year/100,000 mile warranty. 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks for your time!

Chris McCarthy

Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs

Thu, 03 Jan 2013

General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
