Excellent, here is wishing you many happy miles/smiles with your new baby. (Not sure how one would rotate tires on a location specific tire Corvette?!) Greetings, Rob
Since we're talking a little about the wagon wheels, check this link out and watch it all the way through. Those little decals can make a huge difference in the look... http://www.grantdailey.com/WWMakeover/flashintro.html

I agree. It can be done side-to-side, but that involves dismounting/re-mounting tires (not to mention re-balancing) and I'd BET it was not done.

Nice looking '99 though. Looks clean.
Great catch. I bet it wasn't done also. I will definitely speak to them today :-o I did not pay for the service, but it's not nice to tell someone you did something when it was not done. They are a Cadillac dealership and should know better.

Thank You :-)
Well, Cadillac dealerships are no more immune from lying about this kind of stuff than any other..... To these people it's just another used car to get in the door and out as fast as possible. Once the "pen goes to paper", they could not care less what you may find out or discover after all, what are you going to do? Cancel the sale? They KNOW you're not..... The BEST you can hope for is MAYBE a free car wash or oil change or something.
While you're at it, ask about the "grease" fittings on a C5, THAT DON'T EXIST. Unless the PO or the dealer (NOT!) has changed the tie rod ends/ball joints to units with grease zerks, they're not being honest about that EITHER. OE C5 suspension/steering has NO grease zerks. That's why I also struck out that item on the list.
It's this kind of lack of integrity and/or honesty that causes the vast majority of the public to distrust or HATE dealerships. They EARN that skepticism or hate every day.
Hopefully, for your sake, that's the WORST thing they misrepresented.
P.S. If your car is an automatic, I would be VERY skeptical they "changed the transmission fluid" as well, mainly because doing so on a C5 is MUCH more labor intensive (code for $$$$) than most cars.
Thanks, that's why this is a great forum. We novice members can learn the in's and out's of owning a corvette. I would have expected a little more honesty from a reputable dealership and I'm not afraid to bring it to their attention or notify GM & the AG of their poor or false representation. Nothing would get done I know, but CCing them will get their attention :-) I have the paperwork showing these tasks were performed with in house charges. I wouldn't expect even a free oil change personally. IMO they cannot be trusted at this time.
Thank you for your help. It's much appreciated during the growing pains of owning a corvette. :-)
You done good!! I have the same one also in pewter. Welcome to the asylum.....Get some chrome wheels and your set.
If you met him in person, would the first thing you say is he that needs to get different wheels?
Perhaps he liked the OE wheels before you made your comment.
I like OE vehicles myself. It was a long time locating the right unmolested vehicle in excellent shape with low original miles. The reason I purchased this vehicle. The only item I can find so far on the vehicle is the Exhaust Tips are not OE. Why they were changed I do not know why, except the original owner liked them. One of the first things I will do is replace the exhaust back to original spec's.
I was told the tips via pictures look like Corsa Tips on CF. The name Corsa is not on the Tips or Mufflers. I don't know who manufacturer the exhaust is.
