Low miles, but its an auto. I might be able to live with it though. Anybody ever own one and have some advice for me?

 

[Mike P]

which car? I see a list, nothing specific

 

[chadly]

Oh sorry. Its the 1999 Corvette.

Here ya go. http://palmsprings.craigslist.org/ctd/2682140960.html

I'm questioning the taste of the owner who puts a carpeted dash pad on a Vette.

Also, white wouldn't necessarily be my thing, but I'll bet the ladies would love it.

Would you be happy with the automatic transmission? I suppose it makes comment "B" more likely...

What do you want to know about?

 

[chadly]

yeah the dash mat would have to go. I am not opposed to white cars, Ive had them before.

I can deal with the AT. My first choice would be a blue one with a 6 spd, but the price on this one with the low miles makes it hard to pass up.

 

[steve]

If you want to spend more i will sell you mine

 

[chadly]

What do you want to know about?

Mainly want to know about any high dollar common problems. I've read about some batteries leaking and it drips down on the PCM and AC lines, and about rear wheel bearings that cost 400-600 to replace. Anything else I need to look for?

 

[steve]

Service Column Lock, Gas guage failure, but they are not high dollar fixes

broken interior plastics. gauges

 

[chadly]

Well its not the car for me.
Crappy paint job with overspray everywhere and runs
dash is cracked
fuel gauge doesnt work
seats are in bad shape

Plus its the wrong color and an auto.
Too good to be true? Yep

Come up with 9k more and come out and you can have mine. 2004 Commemorative Edition with 34,xxx miles. To many mods to list, 15k at least into it, cosmetic, performance, etc. And 9 out of 10 Vette owners with a stick who rag on the autos will loose at the track to them, the computer just does a better job of shifting

 

[tixer]

Well, that explains the dash pad..

Sorry to hear it isn't "the one."

 

[chadly]

Beautiful car Steve.

sickk vette dude, i love blue on cars. vette's are really fast, definately an attention grabber, whites not my color but hell its a vette i wouldn't care. cheap plastic interior parts like chargers and mustangs.

 

[BadSax]

If you were going for a C5 auto... Steve's is the one to have...

It's ridiculously fast / and has all the other mods you could want...

Max's is still for sale....his is MUCH cleaner than that crappy white one with the stupid auto and lame SO CAL sticker.

I like turtles.

Relish is really gross.

I hate stupid people.

There's some opinions.
