Marylander Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Yes, it's true -- I'm selling the car that inspired my screen name -- a 1999 Corvette coupe (targa). It's in truly excellent mechanical condition. No excuses, everything works. I've had it since 2004 and it has always been adult driven -- never tracked or raced. It was my weekend hobby car for all these years and I'm just not driving it much anymore -- so it's time for it to go. 1999 Corvette 4-Speed Automatic 56,000 miles Navy Blue Metallic exterior Black leather interior (in immaculate condition -- there's no wear at all on the seats) Heads Up Display Auto Climate Control Power Memory Seats Clean title/carfax -- the car has never been in any accidents or had any paint/body work done to it. Plus, I've added a few modest upgrades: Vararam intake Genuine Z06 Corvette wheels with nearly new Firestone Wide Ovals (they have about 4K on them) and new tire presser sensors. Replaced the shocks at 50K using C6 Corvette Z06 shocks C6 Z06 sway bars Pioneer Avic D3 in-dash navigation system with XM, iPod connector/on screen control, and rear camera Clear corner front turn lights HID Fogs Always fanatically weekend detailed with Adam's products, of course. The paint is in very good shape with just a bit of the expected paint chips of a 56K mile car. This is truly a well-kept car -- Sure, you can find C5s for less, but most of them have 2X the mileage and need some things -- and even after you put all the money into them (tires, brakes, whatever) they're still high-mileage, harder used Vettes with lower resale value). Asking $16,995. Serious buyers only, please. If you know someone who might be interested please pass this info along to them. I'm willing to work a bit on the price to make the right sale happen, of course, but low-ballers will be beaten mercilessly with a Porter Cable. I'll have more pics available shortly. Thanks for looking. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marylander Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 Thanks Chris. It's time for a new project or something... I'm not sure what, but I just want to get the VW in the garage for the winter and keep my options open for whatever whim strikes me next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Sorry to see you get rid of her Rich. That's a very nice ride. I'd buy it, but I already got rid of one set of those wheels. That's a great car at that price. I wish you luck, and I'll spread the word to friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrVette83 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Wow, I can honestly say that if this car wasn't a 4-Spd Auto I'd be on the phone with you now. It's just that when buying a Vette I'm wanting a 6spd and I think that even at a killer price like this I'd still never be 100% happy without rowing my own gears. Great price on a great car and good luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I've seen the car up close and in person and it's well worth that price and more. Somebody is going to get a really nice Vette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife's looking, I'll talk to her about this one today, she may be like "but --- it's in Maryland.... blah blah nag nag nag" Yes, I do have the front plate cover. In fact I had it on the car for about 4 years before I finally got pulled over for it. Got off with a warning. Whew! Come on up and take a look at the car, then spend a day or so in DC... we're just minutes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gone & Forgotten Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Wife going to talk to the bank, body temp may be dropping a little. She's still concerned about it being in Maryland - Half the ones I've seen around here have been rednecked and raced. I'm not a purist, but I prefer the mods to be tasteful, as Rich v2.0 (marylandvette) has done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylander Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 Wife going to talk to the bank, body temp may be dropping a little. She's still concerned about it being in Maryland - Half the ones I've seen around here have been rednecked and raced. I'm not a purist, but I prefer the mods to be tasteful, as Rich v2.0 (marylandvette) has done. I know -- you see a lot of C5 popping up these days for 11-15k, but they're beat, abused, questionably modded, etc. Rode hard and put away wet. My car is just the opposite... well cared for, always kept clean, garaged, never driven in the winter (not since I bought it in 2004, at least), never raced (heck, I never even did a burnout with it). I have a binder showing all records and money spent on it since I bought it, plus a simple spreadsheet of the date/mileage at which I did oil changes, brakes, spark plugs, etc. Anyway, thanks again for all the compliments, everyone. I do hope my baby can find a good home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
