Default Help with Possible C6 Purchase

MODS PLEASE CLOSE I BOUGHT A DIFFERENT C6

Does anybody know this car? It is being sold by NorthStar Auto in Wheeling, IL. It looks to be a beautiful example, but with very high miles. Prior to these guys obtaining it, it had been owned by someone living in or near Milan, IL from 2011-2013, and Davenport IA from 2009-2011. I have access to some of the dealer service records, but there is NOTHING after October 2011. I am particularly interested to see if a new clutch had been installed. Dealer records show owner in 2009 had complained of "noises from clutch" but would not let dealer open it up; and there is no record of any clutch work. At 142K miles, I would think it long past due.



SECOND REQUEST -- would anybody in the Chicago area be willing to take a look at this thing for me? A C6 in my price range is not common, and high miles do not scare me, provided the car has been well cared for.

THANKS

Yes the EBAY listing expired, but it did not sell.

I spoke with him today. He is not moving much at all, but I view the "warranty" he offers as useless to me on the East Coast, and so I can get it for a bit less with that excluded. I know I'm looking for a needle in a haystack here, but unless I can find proof of a clutch update, and/or someone to take a spin in it for me, I'll have to pass. I had the identical color scheme with black-centered Motorsports on the Argent C5 and I loved the look. Would not mind going back to it for the right price...

Default Bought this Instead for About the Same Price

As you can see, it needs a bit of cosmetic work on the interior, but it is nearly local, has 40K less miles, and a Vararam. I'll take delivery in a week or so...
