Vehicle Detail
'98 Chevrolet Covette 73k Original Miles Always Pampered. Absolutely Gorgeous! Squeaky Clean Carfax. Always a 'second' car for fun, and babied by every owner. Was purchased by my uncle from Fairway Chevrolet in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, he has passed away, and I am selling the car to liquidate his estate. Fully Loaded Car with: -Sport chrome alloy wheels -Removable targa top -digital lap time clocks -dual zone climate control -memory power seats -premium Bose sound system w/12 CD changer -automatic trans -keyless entry -Custom Flowmaster exhaust (amazing sound!) - RARE Pewter Metallic over Light Oak (really great color combo!) Comes With: - Complete set of Factory Shop manuals (pricey) - ALL original books and manuals including the Corvette pen, pen light, notepad, VHS tape, warranty card - Original Corvette check book/ wallet - All service history since purchased at Fairway Chevrolet (always dealer serviced) - Original cargo area covers - 1 solid, 1 mesh - in Corvette logo leather bag - Premium car cover Recent Service: My uncle was very fastidious when it came to his cars, as am I. Since acquiring the Vette in February, I have done the following to make it damn near perfect: - New battery -Complete Service from Allen Gwyn Chevrolet in Glendale, CA - Fixed the few problem areas on these C5's: new hood struts, new oil pressure sensors, and above all new headlight actuators (over $600 EACH) - Recovered the seats in glove soft leather in factory original color and pattern (from Corvette South) The car is immaculate and ready to go! Description: If you're looking for a C5 Vette, you'd be hard pressed to find a better one. The paint looks fantastic, with only a few rock chips from driving, and a couple of touched up scratches on the edges of the mirrors. On the back, my uncle had the rear fascia professionally pinstriped, and added his signature black rose. He had one painted on every car he owned since the 40s. I think it looks bad ass. It's tastefully done, and really complements the car. If it's not your cup of tea, however, it's very easy to remove. Everywhere it goes, this Vette gets attention, and nobody can believe it's a 98. The interior is immaculate, especially with the addition of the new leather. The carpets look great, as does the dash and trim. You can just tell how pampered a life this car has led. Everything works as new with the exception of the keyless entry. I think the remote needs a battery. I'll ask the dealer and replace it before the auction's close if that's all it takes. This is a superb driving machine, and if you've never driven one, you'll love it! Not only is it fast enough to kick the rear end out with the traction control ON, but it is perhaps the best long distance touring car I've ever had. It's comfortable, very spacious, and 80mph is 1950rpm. You seriously just idle down the freeway! And with the targa top off (which fits perfectly in the back) it's a great fair weather car. Not to mention the exhaust note through the Flowmasters is incredible! I know you'll love this car. Please look at the photos carefully. The reserve is set FAR BELOW MARKET VALUE to facilitate a sale. TERMS: Please Feel Free to ASK QUESTIONS! I will answer as many as you have. Also, it's a good idea to come and see the car, or send someone you trust. I've described it honestly and to the best of my ability. But everybody's opinion is different, and I want you to be happy with your purchase. There is, of course, NO WARRANTY expressed or implied, and no returns. Once you win the auction, she's yours. You can easily drive this car home no matter where you live. And she gets around 28 mpg highway! But if you must have it shipped, funds must be transferred and cleared before the car is released. Then I will work with your shipper to help get it on its way. As per usual with these auctions, a $500 NONREFUNDABLE deposit is due with 48 hours of the auction's close via paypal. Remaining funds to be in cash upon pickup or cashier's check. Car is being sold on a clean Nevada title. It is not currently registered as the owner has passed away, and the plates were returned to the DMV. This does NOT effect your ability to register the car. But you may have to obtain a movement permit from the DMV (I can help) which costs $1 if you plan to drive the car home over a long distance.
