Chevrolet Corvette 2-door Coupe on 2040-cars

Year:1997 Mileage:139600 Color: T
Location:

Maynard, Massachusetts, United States

Maynard, Massachusetts, United States

You're looking at a nice, Black on Black C5 Corvette Coupe (less normal wear and tear). This car runs and drives great despite its mileage. The engine is very strong with no known issues. Three of the four tires are newer (according to previous owner), chrome rims with red Z06 break calipers. Overall, this is a real sharp Corvette with tons of eye appeal. The reason I'm choosing to sell this car is because I'm thinking about going back to a C3. 

History: I purchased this vehicle in May of 2011 from a neighbor and replaced the driver side tie rod along with all brand new brake pads and rotors (only 2000 miles on them). Also recently purchased (May '13) BRAND NEW Z06 Red brake calipers, BRAND NEW car battery and BRAND NEW Z06 floor mats for both driver and passenger side. This is a no-hit Corvette with a clean Car Fax. 

Exterior: This Corvette has a ton of eye appeal, with a removable hard top and black original paint, tinted windows with normal wear and tear (minor scratches, pings) and looks very good for a 16 year old car. I would rate the appearance a strong seven to eight.

Interior: Black leather seats in good condition, Bose CD stereo sound system. All interior lights, gauges and electronics appear to be in good operable condition with the exception (at times) of the driver side electronic mirror which seems to stick. Automatic transmission. Carpet throughout is really very good, front and back. Overall, the interior is in great shape and makes this vehicle even more appealing. There is a slight seam separation on the driver seat left shoulder side (can be seen in single seat pic). I would still rate the overall interior appearance as an eight. 

Please note: Original break calipers (all four) and original floor mats will accompany the sale of this car along with two sets of keys, car cover and auto manual.

Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
