Default 1998 C5 Convertible 59,000 miles!

As life changes so does your priorities. It’s time to sell the coveted Corvette! It’s a 1998 convertible. I am the second owner of the car. I bought it used at USI Motors off of Kingston Pike with only 32,000 miles on it in September 2013. The original owner traded it in for a high end Mercedes SMG so it was well cared for. Current mileage is 59,000. I have made several upgrades including adding the Z06 exhaust and Z06 air box as well as updated the wheels and tires. I have over $4000 in the wheels and tires alone and you won’t find these anywhere as they were custom made for me. Other upgrades include HID headlights, LED marker and side lights, two tone custom interior accents and a cool wind deflector for when you have the top down your hair doesn’t blow all over the place. I have other items that go with the car including a brand new car cover and color matched front mask for those long road trips. Asking price is $15,000. If you are interested send me a PM. I’ll be posting this in other places as well. Attached are some pictures for your viewing pleasure!

Default Any accidents? Do you have service history?

I'm just wondering if it has been in any accidents?


Do you have the service history?

Any known issues?

The car has a clean CarFax. When i bought the car the original owner showed no accidents and I've had none with it. I have service records from the original owner. As for me all I have done is put new wheels and tires on it and oil changes. I have not had to do any mechanical work to the car other than installing a battery. AC is cold and all other items work on the car. It has been garage kept. Paint is original and the top is in good condition.

If you private message me I can give you the VIN if you want to run a CarFax on it.

Thanks,
Ken

I went ahead and pulled the CarFax for my car. As you can see it's a clean vehicle with no accidents. Hope this helps in your decision!

It just occured to me that I haven't added any pictures of the car with the top up. Here are some pictures of the car before I added the TSW Nurburgrings wheels.

Thanks! I have not lowered the car. Original as it comes stance wise. The only paint issue is some rock chips as I drive it. Normal wear and tear.

The front wheels are 18" x 9" and the rears are 19" x 10.5". I don't know what the rear gears are unfortunately. If you have any other questions let me know.

I'm going to reduce the price to $15,000. It needs a good home (not that I don't have a good home). LOL!
