FS: 1998 C5 Corvette
Well, after being stood up about 6 times in an attempt to trade a Beyond member for his car, I think it has become apparent it isn't going to happen. And with the FD and the Z32 sitting in the garage, the wife is none too happy about me sitting on three sports cars. Two of them have to go, and my c5 is now on the block too.
This car is not mint, but is in good condition and just passed an out of province a few weeks back. Does have a few scuffs here and there, but a cut polish would go a long way. Comes from California - so no underbody rust, and has never had a branded title. Look at my feedback, and you'll see I don't screw around - there is no issues to speak of with this car.
With $800 in exhaust mods, it sounds INCREDIBLE. This car is everything you expect it to be. It's a Vette. It is VERY fast, and has ridiculous torque. Believe it or not, you can drive
in 6th on the highway - just above idle. This gets you about 29-30 mpg on the highway. In town is very good too, if you use that
torque without a lot of gas. I can get about 21mpg. If you gun it everywhere your economy will plummet. But let's face it - you will want "drive" it every once in a while.... otherwise, you might as well buy a Corolla.
The handling on this car is simply phenominal. z06 brakes with slotted/drilled rotors up front. Stops exceptionally well with no rotor pulse.
I believe this car comes with every option available in 98 - including side moldings, fog lamps, dual-zone climate control,
adjustable sport suspension, and active handling. (Traction & Stability contol) It also has had the pop-up lights converted to a much sleeker, brighter, and more reliable projector
style. Finally, it has had the original wheels replaced with mint c6 wheels. This is also the coupe model, which comes with the convertiblish targa roof.
This car has a fantastic stereo setup with sub, amps, mp3/cd deck, and ipod. (comes with) Worth a coupe of grand by itself, but it is built-in so I will not part it out.
This Vette has decent miles on it - 90,000. Mileage converts to about 150 mainly highway kms.
*might* entertain trades, plus significant cash. NO RHD.
I am going to price this better than any 98+ I've seen for sale in Calgary. Something has to go!
$16,900.
