Vehicle Detail

Last maintenance included: Flush and fill Transmission (synthetic), Rear Differential (synthetic) Replace all wires/plugs (split fire) with top rated for car Oil and filter (synthetic) I bought this car 3 years ago from a retired GM service tech. He knew this car from top to bottom and has been very helpful over the years. This is the best car I have ever owned. It is in top condition, super clean inside and out. I have treated it with the utmost respect when driving or parked. The tremendous power of this car is not for everyone.On Feb-23-13 at 10:55:21 PST, seller added the following information: Some questions bidders have asked: Any Issues with the Vett? The only issue I haven't resolved yet is the tire pressure monitors. When I had the new tires put on I replace all 4 monitors too. The place that put the tires on (Sullivan Tire) couldn’t activate the monitors and told me I might have to go to a dealer to have that done. Then that week we got our first snow storm and once that happens I take it off the road due to the salt used (in MA). Sometimes in cold weather the hood shocks have trouble holding up the hood but I'm out in warm months and they work fine. Other then that, the car is in great condition inside, out, top to bottom. I never did any upgrades or mods (The GM-Tech’s I know did not recommend any of them). The Vett has plenty of power stock and it runs very smooth. Accident info? Since I have had it, not even a scratch. I’m one of those jerks that don’t park near other cars. When I bought it I asked the same question when I saw the report to previous owner (retired GM Tech). He bought it from a very close friend and knew it was minor. The Vett runs and drives great with no shaking. The only thing you feel is the road. Any leaking under (oil or fluids)? Not at all. Dry as can be. I had it on a lift when getting the tires done and we (tech and I) looked at the bottom and the tech said, “Wow, this thing is clean”, “Dry as a bone”. I didn’t even realize the exhaust pipes were 4” stainless from front to back. That was very cool. Water leaks (roof or around doors)? Roof, never. The seals around the doors could be replaced. They have the usual wear. When I go to a car wash (only touch-less type if I don’t do it by hand) a little water comes in on the passenger side from the direct jet sprays. I have been driving in several rain storms and never have an issue.
