Chevrolet Corvette Coupe on 2040-cars
Menahga, Minnesota, United States
I purchased this Corvette from a Washington state Honda dealer last year. The dealer installed new brakes and the new tires when I bought it last fall and they have no more than 200 miles on them right now. Reason is it snowed right after it was delivered and I put it in storage. Got it back out now that warmer weather has arrived. It's very clean and runs perfect. All adjustments on both Sport Seats work fine as does the cruise control, the cassette player, etc... Mileage will go up a little as I will drive it occasionally weather permitting. I've decided to get something a little easier to get in and out of. I'm a senior and should have recalled this from my '86 Corvette I had 15 years ago. There are a few minor paint blemishes. Small paint chips in the front from sand/rocks. The top of the front urethane bumper was repainted before I got it because of the clear coat separating. This is a common problem. They did not completely remove the old clear coat on the top of the bumper and if you look closely you can see it, but if you're a few feet away you won't. The paint match was good though. Some light clear coat bubbling on the edge of the Targa top. Some minor color wear on the drivers seat bolster, which can be seen in the pic's. New headliner installed due to the original sagging a bit. New sun visors with the lighted vanity mirrors also. Interior is very nice. The day I took it in to have it checked out thoroughly, the alternator started making noise. New alternator and battery installed along with all new Kicker speakers for the stereo. Stereo sounds good. It is the factory stereo with cassette. All gauges work fine too. New remote entry key fob. Corvette has the passive entry system where the car unlocks when you get close to it with the fob. It can also be disabled to use the key fob button for the doors. Clean engine compartment as you can see in the pic's. Some of these pictures were from the dealer I bought it from. This is a very nice running and looking stock Corvette you will be proud to own and the lowest priced 6-speed you will find in nice condition. Check my feedback, as I give an honest appraisal of anything I sell and welcome calls or emails for further questions. 651.470.6621, Brad. Thanks for looking. .

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit
Mon, 04 Mar 2013We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
