Nice.
I am interested in your Vette. I would like to find out when I may come and view it. I live in Gilbert, so I am not far from you. Please let me know more and we can plan the time. Thank you.

Hopefully he will respond, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it.
Once you were there, seen that it wasn't as represented, you had 2 choices to make.
1. Pass on the car knowing that if what you saw wasn't as stated, you may have issues further along that were not seen.
2. Negotiate with seller, to what you both deem are fair terms, and complete transaction.
From the photos, it looks very nice, but also one thing I noticed is there was no date or time stamp, so they may also have been older pictures?
I have a 1996 CE Coupe, so at least welcome to the Collector Edition owners club!
Really hope this turns out well for you!

yup you bought a 19 year old used car. You had all the chance in the world to walk way before you gave him the money. I could see being upset if it were something you couldn't see with a visual inspection like a motor using oil ect. Id say it cant be to bad of a flaw if as closely as you looked at the car when you bought it it didn't jump out at you.

Well after asking all the questions, dings, dents, scratches, issues, which I got the reply of NONE ! then said, I want no surprises once there, and he said, there will be none. Drove 1400 miles w/trailer, first thing I see is a chip in door, low ? no right up there by the mirror., no biggee right ? he has a touch up kit. Then, the blue glass top, has a large depression in the front left corner area, and another smaller one along the back. so what do I do,,, bought it anyway. Told him I think he owes me 1/2 of another top due to his misrepresentation. asked for 450. no response now. what a lil dick.

I still think you got a fair deal considering what the possibilities were.
A also think he owes you something, however, without a personal inspection the dollar amount is hard to determine.
Hope it all works out for you!
It really appears to be a sharp CE.
