Burka Vette- priceless!
As a detailer, that picture of the interior caked in gunk made me gag
When I was shopping for Vettes, the dealership cars were in the worst shape of all the ones I looked at; flat tires, dead batteries, interior and exteriors coated in dirt and water spots, and one had soaking wet floor boards (on both sides) with a soaking wet rag tucked under the driver's seat! The "salesman" did NOT care at all, and made the excuse that it had been an excessively rainy couple of weeks! So Corvettes, to him, are supposed to let rainwater in?! Amazing!

I had the same experience with private party sellers. I prefer a new car dealer
