I bought a 99 Vert 2 months ago. It is a triple-back that was well taken care of. It had 22,800 miles, and I paid $23,500 for it.

Is this a good deal??
Even though this one has the 1SC preffered package and a whole bunch of other goodies and to top it off it's in excellent condition you're still saying that it's still not worth the asking price???

100,000 miles on a 99 Vert
I am the second owner of a 99 triple black vert. Stock, automatic, no mods. Daily driver in Northern California. Only thing replaced other than normal maintenance was the power steering pump at 92,000 miles. Just turned 100,000 miles this week (22,000 miles this past year). No complaints at all. (BTW - I also have a 99 Suburban w/160,000 miles and it has had no major work done at all. I am the original owner. Previous Suburban, a 1985 went to 289,000 on the original engine and one transmission rebuild). Both vehicles get regular fluid changes, keep a record of everything, daily drivers, not garaged, and use Mobil 1. Heck, even the front tires (runflats) have 24,000 miles on them and they have a lot of life left. So, for reliability, I have no complaints. I did have a great Corvette mechanic check out the Corvette before I bought it. Had all the records as well.
