I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE TIME OUT TO WELCOME ALL OF YOU TO THIS NO RESERVE AUCTION. BEFORE I BEGIN SPEAKING ABOUT THIS 1998 CORVETTE THAT I AM OFFERING FOR SALE I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT MYSELF WHICH IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS PURCHASING A CAR LIKE THIS. MY WIFE AND I ARE 2 ADULTS BOTH 42 AND 45 YEARS OF AGE WHO ARE THE ONLY 2 PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. WHICH MEANS THE VEHICLE NOT ONLY HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED BUT HAS HAD PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE ALONG THE WAY TO ASSURE NO PROBLEMS SHOULD EXIST IN THE FUTURE. THIS 1998 CORVETTE HAS HAD 3 OWNERS WITH NO ACCIDENTS OR PAINT WORK AND HAS SPENT ITS ENTIRE LIFE ON THE WEST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES WHICH MEANS NO RUST STARTING IN CALIFORNIA THEN ARIZONA WHICH IS WHERE I PURCHASED IT ON AUGUST 9TH 2010 AND RELOCATED IT TO SUNNY LAS VEGAS NEVADA. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WITH 92339 MILES AND HAS BEEN USED AS A DAILY DRIVER SINCE. AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE SHINE OF THE PAINT THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WAXED ONCE A MONTH BY HAND TO ASSURE A STUNNING APPEARANCE EVERYWHERE YOU TAKE IT. NO IT IS NOT THE ONLY VEHICLE WE OWN BUT IT IS OBVIOUSLY THE CHOICE TO DRIVE BETWEEN US. SINCE THE DAY OF PURCHASE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN 17517 MILES WHICH EQUATES TO 1167 MILES PER MONTH. ALONG THE WAY SINCE WE HAVE OWNED IT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SERVICED AT 94000 MILES WHICH SHIFTS FLAWLESS IN EVERY GEAR. AT 94500 MILES THE OIL SENDING SWITCH WAS REPLACED WHICH IS A COMMON NON WORKING ISSUE ON THESE CARS, THE INTERIOR WAS REUPHOLSTERED AT 95000 MILES. THE DRIVES SEAT HAD A 2 INCH TARE THAT DROVE MY WIFE NUTS (WHICH EXPLAINS WHY THE SEATS ARE SO CLEAN COMPARED TO THE OTHER CORVETTES OF THIS ERA), THE COOLING SYSTEM WAS SERVICED AT 98000 MILES (NOT BECAUSE WE HAD AN ISSUE) AGAIN DUE TO PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE WHICH INCLUDED A NEW WATER PUMP BOTH UPPER AND LOWER RADIATOR HOSES, THERMOSTAT, TENSIONERS AND 2 NEW DRIVE BELTS. WHEN YOU LIVE IN A CLIMATE WHERE THE WEATHER TOPS 115 DEGREES IN THE SUMMER MONTHS PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE IS KEY IN ANY VEHICLE. AT 98500 MILES THE DIGITAL AIR CONDITION DISPLAY WENT BLANK WHICH AGAIN IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE CARS (SERVICED AND FIXED). WHEN THE VEHICLE HIT 100000 MILES IT RECEIVED A COMPLETE TUNE UP WITH NEW PLUGS, WIRES, FUEL FILTER AND AIR FILTER. IM SURE YOU HAVE ALL NOTICED THE STUNNING NEW CHROME ZR-1 STAGGERED RIMS (17 INCH UPFRONT AND 18 INCH IN THE REAR FACTORY SPECS) ON THE CAR ALONG WITH THE NEW FALKEN Y RATED TIRES (THE Y RATING IS GOOD TO 186 MILES PER HOUR WHICH IS A HIGHER RATING OF SPEED THAN Z) BOTH WERE PURCHASED AND MOUNTED AT 100000 MILES ALONG WITH A WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND I MUST SAY THEY GET ATTENTION EVERY WHERE YOU GO. ALONG WITH THE RIMS AND TIRES THE ONLY MODIFICATION DONE TO THE VEHICLE IN ITS HISTORY IS THE DRILLED AND SLOTTED ROTORS ALONG WITH FULL CERAMIC PADS THAT REALLY STOP THIS VEHICLE FASTER THAN THE STOCK ROTORS AND PADS THAT GM OFFERED AS OEM EQUIPMENT. THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM WAS JUST SERVICED 2 MONTHS AGO WITH A NEW AIR PUMP ALONG WITH BOTH CHECK VALVES BANK ONE AND TWO WHICH SHOULD GIVE YOU YEARS OF WORRY FREE EMISSION ISSUES. NEW BATTERY IN SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR. LAST BUT NOT LEASE THE VEHICLE WAS JUST SERVICED AS ALWAYS WITH FRESH MOBIL 1 FULL SYNTHETIC OIL WHICH WILL TAKE YOU TO YOUR FIRST OIL CHANGE 3000 MILES FROM THE TIME OF YOUR PURCHASE. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN GREATLY MAINTAINED IT IS A USED 15 YEAR OLD VEHICLE AND HAS SOME SCRATHES AND CHIPS THAT ANYONE WOULD EXPECT TO FIND ON A DAILY DRIVER WITH THIS MILAGE. THE ONLY ITEM ON THE CAR THAT DOES NOT WORK IS THE FRONT LEFT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. THE BATTERY WENT 2 DAYS AGO AND I HAVENT HAD THE TIME TO GET IT SERVICED, SO I WILL INCLUDED 1 BRAND NEW TPMS WITH THE PURCHASE. ALL YOU WILL HAVE TO DO IS GO TO YOUR LOCAL TIRE SHOP AND LET THEM MOUNT IT INSIDE THE TIRE FOR YOU, ITS THAT SIMPLE. IF YOU ARE IN THE LAS VEGAS AREA IN THE NEXT 7 DAYS AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE PLEASE FEEL FREE TO WRITE ME AND I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PICK YOU UP AT YOUR HOTEL AND ALLOW YOU TO EXPERIANCE THE CAR FIRST HAND. IN CLOSING THIS ONE IS READY FOR ITS NEW OWNER AND I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST OF LUCK WITH YOUR BIDDING AND CONGRADULATIONS IN ADVANCE TO THE NEW OWNER.
