Don't know the car but it has a lot of stuff on it for the price. The ad appears to be professionally written (by a dealer?).I googled the map & the stickpin was on the QEW off ramp at the skyway. Could just be the GPS tho. If it's as nice as he says ,it appears to be a lot of GS for the price. Make sure it isn't an American Car .Cullen Chev in St.Kitts usually has a ton of them in a separate showroom.Check the tires for even wear.Run flats for the wide body are pricey (if you stay with run flats.The Goodyears are not a good tire for longevity.Elite Auto is Cullen's other showroom & is always on autotrader.Hope this helps.

If you decide to go to St.Kitts, I would advise making it an early morning trip.With the weather like this, QEW traffic to Niagara falls & Niagara on the Lake can be stop & go or crawling from Grimsby on the the Falls on a good weather day.Anything after 11 am is a crap shoot.The service roads that parallel the QEW will get you there tho.

Hey Rob.

What options are you looking for?

A or M?
Int/Ext Colour Combo
Z51
with or without the NAV/BOSE/OnStar
etc.

I know this car, very well taken care of. Not 100% sure but I believe he still has it.

I saw that you were asking questions in the C7 section this week, have you decided on that instead?

Still haven't found the right one yet Zeeman, the white '11 is a great looker but a little rich I think, still considering the '13 GS in Woodstock...might even be something good at Manny's this w/e. An auto is preferrable to manual, at least a 2 LT don't have to have Nav

Looked at the C7 was a VY stick Coupe on Wed., we really didn't like it. I want memory seats and it didn't have them, pretty necessary for an M7 as I need the seat way back for entry but have to move up to reach the pedals and the coupe just felt to cramped, I thiink a C6 seems to fit me better, gotta get this right as I think it will be my last Vet.
