96 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE For your consideration is a near-pristine condition 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible in a stunning, and factory-original, high-gloss Champagne beige paint with 24,749 original miles. Yes, less than 25,000 original miles!! This Corvette, which is the first year of the C5 model convertible and the first year a Corvette convertible was offered with a trunk since 1962, has been pampered during its close to 20-year life. Driven on average only 1,200–1,300 miles per year, it has been garage kept and always maintained, and its appearance in every respect attests to how well it has been treated (see photos). I am the second owner, and it has never been in an accident (please see the Autocheck Vehicle History Report and the very high Autocheck Score). To no surprise, it runs very strong (for example, at 70 mph on the highway, the engine speed is still only around 2,000 rpm) with no leaks, noises or vibrations, it handles great, it looks fantastic, and it will provide many more years of headache-free driving pleasure to its next owner. All wheels are in great condition, and the tires are close to new. With this sale, I am including a set of very high-end custom-made black sheepskin seat covers (with a very deep pile and that coordinate beautifully with the two-tone interior of the car), a set of high-quality (Eckler’s) Corvette floor mats with the correct C5 insignia, and a high-quality after-market custom-fitted sun-shade for the windshield to protect the dash when it is parked outside.The end-of-season starting price for this auction is way under the current Kelley Blue Book (KBB) value for this car (over $16,000.00, photo provided). I will consider replacing the starting price auction format with a Buy-it-Now option if anyone is seriously interested to quickly end the auction that way in their favor (please contact me and inquire with an offer price – note that any offer to purchase this vehicle under the already low starting auction price will be ignored). Purchase details: the title is clear and in my name for immediate transfer to the successful bidder. If you need to obtain an automobile loan to complete this purchase, please do so before placing your bid. A $1,000.00 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of auction close (payable through PayPal), and the remaining amount is due and payable to me, in the form of cash, a bank-to-bank wire transfer or a certified cashier’s check from a major bank (the car will not be released until all funds have cleared into my account), within 10 days of auction close. Any interested individuals are of course welcome to personally inspect the vehicle before bidding, but all bids once placed are final, as is the sale of this vehicle at auction close whether or not an inspection of the vehicle was performed beforehand. This vehicle is being sold where-is and as-is with no warranties or return options implied or offered, and the buyer is responsible for pick-up of the vehicle or shipping of the vehicle to the buyer's location of choice within 14 days of auction close. By placing a bid, the buyer is legally agreeing to complete this transaction in full under these terms and conditions. I am a very honest individual, and have represented this car as accurately as I can from my personal knowledge of it, the Autocheck Vehicle History Report, and its service history. Study the pictures and ask questions before bidding, as the photos are part of the description of the vehicle's condition. You will not be disappointed. This C5 Corvette Convertible is a real gem – a collector-worthy car that can be used without issue as a daily driver as well.Please note that I also have this Corvette listed for private sale locally and on other internet sites. Given the overall outstanding condition of this low-mileage Corvette convertible, the sale price being set well below its KBB value, and the inbound interest I have received thus far, I reserve the right to end this auction early if a bid is not in place at the time I receive an offer to purchase this vehicle through one of these other (non-eBay) venues.

These are pictures of the seats without the sheepskin seat covers on them. Beautiful condition, like the rest of the car.
