    I am selling my 1st ever Corvette... With all my other Cars I'm just not getting enough time for this one with Michigan Corvette Season being so short. That and I'm making Garage Room for a F355 to join my F430.

    This is a Single Owner Super Clean, Well Cared for C5. Automatic Trans
    Car Located in Macomb MI, but may get a couple miles added when I move to Rochester MI
    Mileage 84107
    Asking $15,500

    Stuff I added was the Z06 Intake Airbox and New Pieces that add a few HP, all the way up to the MAF Sensor.
    NXT Step Exhaust also know as Granatelli. Nice Aggressive Sound and a Few Extra HP. Also Upgraded the Clamps on the Exhaust with Better Clamps than the ones that came with Exhaust.
    Tires have very little Miles and Great Tread Life Left.
    Added Red Calipers & Baer EradiSpeed Drilled & Slotted Rotors.
    Removable Roof is Red
    2nd Roof is Transparent, looks light blue nearly clear inside and Black from the outside. Faux Leather Storage For Whichever Roof is not in use.

    Oil Changed Regularly with Mobil 1 as Recommended & Never Let Oil Life get below 33%
    Recently Took it to my Chevy Dealer & the Replaced an AIR Valve & Did all the 75K Mile Maintenance Due including Trans Flush, Fill & Filter. They also Changed the Rear Differential Fluid.

    Always Garaged in a Heated & Humidity Controlled Garage aside from its 1st couple years at my old house, it was Garaged there but not Climate Controlled. I Keep it Super Clean and Detailed including the Engine Bay. There are some Scratches on the Front Typical of these Low Front Ends, nothing major and only noticeable looking up on it Laying on the Ground.
    Car has been extremely Trouble Free for me.

    Many Receipts, Original Window Sticker. Replaced Parts were kept aside from Brake & Exhaust Stuff. Come 2022 this Car Will Pass Gold Survivor Status if you took it to Bloomington Gold.

    84K miles, that's what I call a guy who enjoys his cars. If it was only a manual I could be tempted. Looks great. GLWS

    Wanted to put a word in. I've had two C5 Corvettes for a total of 10 years of daily commuting ownership. The early 97 and 98 cars were an electrical headache sometimes (nothing serious, sensors and stuff), but everything made after that is an absolute damn tank. The level of reliability is literally peerless in it's prerformance category from that time period. I put 83,000 miles on my second one (up to 161,000 total, with nothing but brakes, tires, and oil/fluid changes). Didn't visit the dealer/shop a single time in six years of 5-day commuting. Drove it in snow, salt, mud, negative temps, over 100 degrees, it took it all in stride.
    Trunk is big enough to haul two full size checked roller bags, two carry ons, and two laptop bags with room to spare. I once got all four stock wheels and tires in by putting the fourth one on the passenger's seat. Both cars did 32MPG highway consistently through my ownership period.

    If you want a car that you can treat like a Civic, never worry about weirdos sitting on it and taking Instagram photos when you're eating dinner, and that can still accelerate like an F355 when there's an opening in traffic, you could do worse than a C5. GLWS.

    I agree. I owned a 2002 C5 Z06 and loved it. They are neutral handling, light and fast. It's a lot of performance for $15K! Oh do a head and cam job and you're at 450HP.
