"What's your bottom line?" "What's the least you'll take?" "What's your bottom dollar?" "Do you have a Buy-it-Now?" "What's it take to buy it?" "What's you asking price?" Emailing you a figure will not happen but we can converse about it. It's a flippin' Auction! That means...your number counts...not mine. Oh, and by the way, if you've sent me an email with one of the lame questions above, I'll instantly presume you haven't taken the time to even read the content of the listing and that you have no intention of buying at any relevant market value figure. 26 Years in the business has taught me that serious buyers read every line, look at every picture and research well enough on their own to feel confident to make offers. Our presentations are unmatched and we cater to the serious buyers. THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN WORK YOUR DEAL IS TO CALL ME! My vehicles are so unique and rare that knowing what it should sell for is nearly impossible. That's why eBay's auctions...with serious buyers making offers...works it's magic. 2001 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible VIN: 1G1YY32G415121103 Odometer: 41,325 Engine: 5.7 Liter V8 (LS1) Transmission: 6-Speed manual (rear mounted) Exterior: Black (41U) Interior: Black leather (193) Convertible Top: Black (41T) Built: February, 2001 - Bowling Green, Kentucky Over 126 high resolution pictures below.

So, you have been looking for the nicest, best kept and maintained C5 Corvette Convertible you can find...and you are here on eBay because you have already seen and passed up a bunch in your neck of the woods that were all less than even your lowest expectation of quality. I know how you feel. Every week I go to specialty and dealer-only auctions to find the best of the best in what I call "niche autos". I'll see roughly 1500-3000 local cars on my lists every week and only find a handful of treasures. First, I sit at my desk and overview the online lists and cherry pick pretty much all the Corvettes I can find. They have been great for my business model of exclusively marketing on eBay. Older low mileage cars and cream puffs are always hitting my list when they show up. Four to six a week may show up between the three major auctions as well as a few local classifieds. But seeing them on a list and actually looking at them can reveal a very different story. The true test of finding a spectacular Corvette includes years of experience in professionally appraising them as I have; 27 years to be exact. I am extremely picky about what I buy. I have also owned hundreds of Corvettes of all vintages; I know what I am looking at. Ownership history, service history and condition, condition, condition are very important to me. All too often, many Corvettes are not cared for as well as they should be...but some are and if they're spectacular, I'll be owning it. This is one of mine you won't want to let slip past you. Original spectacular paint, stunning original interior, a service history that was by the book, that and modern looks and class and you won't need to do a thing other than win her...what more could you want? A great deal? OK, got that covered too. No, you will not be buying this car for wholesale or low book values, but you and I already know you get what you pay for. In today's world of used vehicles, finding a "cheap Corvette" that needs nothing and will be exceptionally reliable...is like finding an honest politician. So if low book or wholesale is your budget, be prepared to find and drive your local junk as you won't find me selling it for that here online. If you want unmatched quality, service care and condition, then this Corvette is your rare find. Look at every picture very carefully and see the stunning condition up close and personal...then make your call with your offer; you won't be disappointed. Thanks for reading and getting to know us.

Early service records . . . A note from the owner. I am a “used car dealer” but before that, I’m an automobile enthusiast. I love original rare and high quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I’ve been in business, have come to appreciate an expanding selection of high-demand, high value vehicles. I specialize in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that were cherished by their previous owners. I have an experienced eye for quality but I’ve discovered that my preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I have therefore, built my business and reputation around finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer. Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict requirements but a car must do something for me on a personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the bidder, that this is an above average, exceptional vehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it probably won’t do much for you either and I would soon be out of business. With just four employees and no sales people, I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may at first glance appear. It has taken great care and effort to create such an organization and often, an unusually high investment in a particular car we are about to list. To sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my corner and Chris, owner of A-Best Auto Repair in Henderson, Nevada has my back. He and his crew can fix anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute most expensive exotic you can name, no job is too big and no small detail unimportant. They do an exhaustive 130 point inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes their methodical investigation. Experience has shown that everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy customer that says good things about me. Moreover; it allows my writer to describe the car with ease and confidence, something that simply is not possible unless he thinks it is true. If major issues are found or the cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it at auction. After the vehicle is fully sorted it arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious eye of Tom, my writer that creates the presentations you see on eBay. He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else tells him about the car as he combs over every inch, researches its history and documents originality and authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special features, possible modifications and much more are used to accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty. Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150 high resolution pictures that I take myself. The pricey equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the very best professional photographers and I’ve developed a logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with close-up shots of every square inch. I provide detailed views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep. Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so meticulously clean. This reconditioning can sometimes take several days and I’ve converted a paint booth, especially prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each car lovingly receives. Usually, I’ll also include a high definition video that shows the car doing its thing. If it’s a fast car, we film it going fast. If it’s a 4x4 you’ll see it crawling up a hill. In every case you will hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system and watch the temperature fall on a digital, laser thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent. How many “dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty? We do. No “dealer,” on-line or in the real world, takes it to this level. No other seller or organization provides you, the buyer, with so much information. I do this because it is the only way I can convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or feel their purchase, that my vehicle is for real and what I say is the truth. All the above is necessary for me to stay in business while keeping integrity intact. I want every buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought it. If you have any questions at all, please call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry is sincere and your offer serious, you’ll find me the most accommodating business partner you’ve ever dealt with. If you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the conversation. Until you are ready to actually pull the trigger, I will happily quote you the absolute highest nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a number we both know will not buy the car so, don’t waste your time, or mine. I am after all, a “used car dealer.” Serious buyers know the maximum they can offer. I then must simply decide if I can sell for that number. If you hit the reserve, the decision is no longer mine. I must sell at that number. OFFERS GET MY ATTENTION: 702-353-7500 or Doug@vivalasvegasautos.com If you want to make a deal, pick up the phone and talk a serious offer. 702-353-7500 I don't respond to emails asking for "bottom line, sale price, reserve, or Buy-it-Now" figures on top line cars. THE ONLY WAY YOU GET THOSE FIGURES IS TO CALL ME! The book values posted below are relevant to "real" selling figures. NADA & KBB wouldn't be in business if their values were not real but their figures are averaged for the entire nation. If this car is less than or better than this average, bid or offer accordingly.
