Soop Dogg Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 For sale is my 2003, 50th Anniversary Corvette C5 Convertible. (4-Speed Auto) It's registered as 2004 as it was still in the showroom until then before it was sold new. It's in Millenium Yellow and as a eurospec car was extremely well optioned. (see below) Condition is excellent (as you'd expect from a car of this age, I guess) Reason for selling? I'm buying another Corvette! New front tyres fitted about 3,000 miles ago, new rear tyres last month. (Goodyear Eagle F1 - original fitment - these are now about £300 a tyre, so this will save you some money if you're interested) Service history is up to date and complete. (Last service was performed in May 2008) It's covered about 38,500 miles. Comes with an armful of paperwork, receipts etc. It even has the original 50th anniversary commemorative video. The car has almost every available option on it and the equipment includes: ACTIVE HANDLING ABS PERFORMANCE HANDLING PACKAGE (Z51) 3.15 PERFORMANCE AXLE RATIO PREFERRED EQUIPMENT GROUP INCLUDING: HEADS UP DISPLAY CRUISE CONTROL TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM LEATHER SPORTS SEATS - 6 WAY ADJUSTABLE ADJUSTABLE STEERING WHEEL MEMORY CONVENIENCE PACKAGE (OUTSIDE MIRRORS, RADIO, SEAT AND HEATER SETTINGS) DUAL ZONE AIR CON REMOTE 12 DISC CD CHANGER WITH RADIO/CASSETTE AND BOSE 6 SPEAKER SYSTEM ELECTROCHROMIC (SELF-DIMMING) MIRRORS/DEFOG FOG LAMPS BODY SIDE MOLDINGS POLISHED ALUMINIUM WHEELS BORLA STINGER EXHAUST (Stock system also supplied) PLEASE NOTE: Registration plate available separately.

Soop Dogg Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Cheers, Jamie. Looking for a Velocity Yellow C6 Convertible with 6 speed auto box with paddle shift, would also like the magnetic selective ride suspension. (the system copied by the Ferrari F599 and Audi etc) Being that specific, I'll probably be importing form the States myself. A Z06 would be nice, but TBH I've got so I won't have a hardtop car now - I like being able to drive in the summer with the top down. (Plus you're really looking at a £40k+ price tag for a C6 Z06 which is just a little more than I want to spend at the mo...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Nice car (Plus you're really looking at a £40k+ price tag for a C6 Z06 which is just a little more than I want to spend at the mo...) How much are you looking at for the normal C6 then? Do convertibles fetch more than hard tops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soop Dogg Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Nice car How much are you looking at for the normal C6 then? Do convertibles fetch more than hard tops? Thanks Thorin. Normally the C6 convertible does fetch a little more than the C6 Coupe which has a removable targa panel like the Supra Aerotop. The Z06 is a fixed hard top, (No targa) but it's the extra performance (505bhp straight out of the box) that costs. The car I'm looking for with the 6 litre LS2 engine with less than 5,000 miles on the clock will be about £30k to £35k on the road after duties etc and SVA are all paid for. I don't think that's too bad for a 2006-2007 car with 430bhp stock. You can find a decent C6 coupe for under £30k OTR that is mint, good luck with the sale Bri Thanks! Want to make me an offer? The price is "o.n.o." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
