5/25/11....NOTE: to all the 24 "watchers" and such...........comon'....you know who you are :) ....I am currently offering the most Corvette for the money of all the 1992-LT1 Vetts on EBAY. If you do not believe it then search on "Corvette 1992" and put them in order by mileage, lowest to highest. Then notice that the one closest to mine in miles/price is................ a "salvage title and a total loss with two accidents"....................... I will not be lowering my price any further so.......wait if you like but if it does not sell for at least $7100. then I just relist as a fixed price sale or let it sleep in the garage. A really well MAINTAINED 92 vette with extensive receipts. So what do you do when you have one too many FUN-cars? Well you drive both of themon the same day up into the mountains.... Vette for Breakfast and Miata for Lunch.... and then decide. The Miata is just "taller" and easier for someone of my age (70 last May 14th) to get into/outof so......... The car is well optioned with: PW/P-locks/P-steering/P-brakes/RWdefogger/Dual-P-seats/P-antenna/AC/ABS/traction control/heatedmirrors/P-mirrors/tan leather/automatic 4-spd w-OD/numerous little lights that go on to illuminate the smallest places. No cracks in the dash, leather is kept flexible/supple with Leather-CPR (for horse-tack and saddles). This Vette like most cars requires Maintaince, some of it expensive. But I tend to overmaintain (so my X-wife used to say) my cars a bit. In the last 8 months the car has had: NEW opti-spark (distributor) a $585 part, water-pump a $287 part, 8-plugs $150 Labor, serpentine belt, brakes, tires, coolant, Syn-Oil, Rims a $500 part, both Cats and both oxygen-sensors @$900 and so much more that slips the memory right now. All the normal-small stuff is also done carefully such as filters/wipers/etc.... O yeah, and a Sears Diehard Gold with 60 month warranty (a battery). Receipts go with the car for right at $4000. parts/labor. A lot of the work was done by a local (MR corvette) and Sears, both of whom do good warranties/good work. so...it pays to maintain the car in really good shape instead of waiting for a problem. And it passed the tough Colorado Emissions no sweat (important if you are a local buyer or live in a state with E-testing)......So most of your maintaince work is done for a long time, allowing for trouble-free summer driving. You could look at the purchase as........... an excellent Vette for just $3100......... ( that is: $7100. BIN minus $4000. in recent maint/upgrades) I started with a Florida car that had good paint and excellent leather. But I wanted the "look" of the ZR1 back-end AND the Lower-Fender-Panels and Rims of an 89 Vette. So I found a pair of 89 LFPs and an additional set of 92 LFPs on Ebay and had the body shop "mate" them. Then I found a set of 89 rims in white. So my resulting car has the ZR1 rear (that came on Vetts starting in 91) and the Rims-Gills of the 89. The stock sawblade 92 rims and LFPs come with the car should you want to go back to a stock look (or just switch back and forth as suits you). I also replaced the 3-piece front spoiler and the emblems. So the car runs great, looks great and should require NO (or very little) maint. work for a long time. It can go from "Unique" to "Stock" in an afternoon. All the books/manuals/articles/receipts/spareparts go with the car. And I would be happy to have your mechanic (at YOUR expense) check it out. Should not be more than sevedral hundred and I have heard EBAY makes it easy to find a local. A few items still need attention: a small patch of carpet is cut and hanging loose on the passenger side footwell (see pic), the ac needs a charge, the original (huge) Corvette Entertainment Center died and I bought a kit that allows a standard-size aftermarket CD-radio to be installed in the 4" by 7" opening (and the kit contains the antenna adapter, the mounting brackets, small "cubby" for under the new CD and the surround molding), no radio yet, you get to choose, and the kit is NIB. And if buying a car over the air-waves makes you nervous, remember that its done every hour by thousands of Ebayers...,..and Ebay offers the $50,000. money-back gurantee so..... please review my 250+ Feedbacks, my 100% satisfaction rating and comments regarding the toy- cars I buy/enjoy/sell (too often) like "car better than the ad" and "helpful seller before and after the deal" and so on. I have found that "underpromise and overdeliver" makes everyone happy so.... you can buy with confidence. The mid-level book value is $9200. per KBB. And I took the 14 1992 Vetts for sale on Ebay yesterday and added up their BIN prices and/or current bids and the average was $12,400. per Vette. Being a former computer guy, I then threw out the two outliers (highest and lowest milage cars) and reaveraged the remaining12. The average was now $12,225. This tells me that many Vette guys are Real Optomists when it comes to selling their car. But it also informed my selection of a modest BIN price and via the VIN I found that the car listed for $29,725. new,... On May-13-11 at 05:57:04 PDT, seller added the following information: Sorry, forgot to explain the top but thanks for the question: it comes off and fits behind the seats on 4 rubber brackets or "holders", it seems black in the pics but is really just a "smoked grey" see-thru when inside the car, unlike a lot of these this one is quite clear and free of any cracks. Chevy supplied a small special tool for removing it that stores in the elbow-box. Really just a tiny ratchet-drive with a star-bit on the end. And the top is light enough that even at my age it is easy to install/remove. On May-13-11 at 09:08:46 PDT, seller added the following information: The opti-spark is what we used to call, back in the day, a distributor. When I had the opti-spark replaced I specified that MR-Vette use the Delco (OEM) equipment, same for the waterpump. Therer are cheaper aftermarket units available but the shop will not warranty them. I had him put the old pieces in bags for me so I might see why they cost so much. I could now see that they are now Gear-Driven and impressive carved chunks of aluminum. If you want I will send them along with the car so you can see for yourself. and........... thanks for the question. Due to my travels the car cannot be picked up or shipped until Sunday the 29th of May (I fly back in on the 28th). I would still be available to make it easy for your shipper (or you) on Sunday the 29th. I would be willing to hold the car for a reasonable time (week or two) till you get your plan together for getting it home AND to picking you up at DIA OR Delivering it to a truck depot within 50 miles or so (cheapest shipping is depot-to-depot). Any funds sent via Paypal (2 to 4 days to clear) or a Certified Check (8 to 12 days to clear) will mean the car cannot be released until funds have cleared. Bank-to-Bank Wire Transfer of Funds is recommended because of its low-cost, speedy delivery (about 4 hours) and safety/security. I can send easy to understand instructions to the high bidder to give to their bank. AND if you are new to ebay, I would ask that you please read: all payment instructions/ shipping instructions/ Ebay buyer tutorial. This will help prevent misunderstandings and the Dreaded Assumption.
