Is this guy a salesman or what?
I highlighted a few of my favorite lines.

Well! What can I say. Here it ladies and germs. The big Kahuna, the top o' the line, the Grand Daddy of Chevy's - a 2008 Corvette in sweet Victory red with a butter soft ebony leather interior. Move over everybody 'cause the Vette is in the hizzy! Built in the world famous Bowling Green factory, this is the famous Z06 model with the 505 horsepower engine. Good thing I don't own this car 'cause I would probably be typing this from the gray bar hotel for all the speeding tickets I'd get.

Set yourself apart from the pack with this fabulous head turner. You'll be the only one on the block with this car in the driveway! Make the Joneses keep up with you! Plus you will want for nothing with this completely loaded luxury car. It has everything from the heads up display, cruise control, power memory heated seats, Factory navigation AM-FM CD XM Radio with 7 speaker premium sound, keyless entry and ignition with push button start, six speed manual transmission , power telescoping steering wheel, Z06 Performance Package with larger cross drilled brake rotors, Z06 chrome wheels, heads up windshield display, universal garage door opener, to power locks and windows, air condtioning, electrochromatic rear view mirror, etc, etc. Phew! Then again, if you are looking at this listing you probably know all this already! Call me Tony De Falco on my cell @585-730-9925 or send me your email address and I will shoot you back a copy of the vehicle's warranty recap summary and build sheet straight from GM's computer.

As always, I drive every car I list on Ebay and I can tell you that this is one fine ride. Tight suspension, responsive steering, and a quiet engine with just enough throatyness all add up to one great car. I made all kinds of friends real quick too, as everybody wanted a ride. I even had grown men yelling at me as I drove past, "What was that?"

Do yourself a favor and buy this gently used sports car while saving many bucks over new while still getting the balance of the factory warranty. The bumper to bumper warranty is still in force until 1/28/2011 or 36,000 miles and you'll have some coverages that are even longer. The sheet metal is covered 'till 2014 and some emissions controls out to 2016. Bst yet, the powertrain coverage is until 2013 or 100,000 miles. Unlike buying a Corvette from a private individual, we are a full time award winning certified luxury dealer so we know these cars. We completely reconditioned this vehicle to like new specifications both mechanically and physically in our in house Cadillac service facility so that you will have many years of trouble free driving. It is preowned so it isn't perfect. There is some evidence of paint work on the left front fender and there is a defect in the paint on the left front of the hood. There is a stone chip on the lower right of the windshield near the sticker. We know about these things and have priced the car accordingly. It still faces up real nice from the curb. Car comes with two keyless remotes and floor mats and the navigation disk. I do not have the owners manual. You can visit your local Chevrolet dealer and purchase one or buy one here on Ebay.

I have run and attached to this listing the $25 CarFax report. Go to the bottom of the page and click on the logo. I have already paid for it so please feel free to view it or print it out.



We specialize in long distance car and truck sales. We ship vehicles all over the USA every day of the week. That's all I do so it will be trouble free for you. The customer is responsible for the shipping costs, but I can steer you in the right direction so everything goes off without a hitch.

This is a working, busy dealership and I can't always answer my phone. If you get my voice mail, please leave a message and I will get right back to you. I WILL CALL YOU BACK! Don't call the dealership switchboard and ask for a salesman about this listing as you will get bounced all over the place to people who don't know anything about this car or this listing. Don't hesitate to call me on my cell @000-000-0000 or email me day or night because I keep hours like Dracula. Just some advice from your uncle Tony D.

Well you have to give the guy an A for trying, the dealership is about 10 minutes from my house. They are not exactly noted for Corvette sales or praised for their service on their main brand of Cadillac.

I'm very sorry I took up the valuable time of the two posters to reply. I got a chuckle out of this and thought I'd share it. Once again my apologies. You probably would rather read about Z51 badges, etc.

I'm just happy to know that the sheet metal on my Corvette is protected against rust-through until 2016!

He is just doing on Ebay and the internet what he would do in person. He is trying to sell a car. There is a old saying in the car business..."There is a $ss for every seat" and he is trying to find one. As far as Valley Cadillac not being praised for their service.....I take exception to that in as much as I have purchased 2 vehicles from them and had excellent service from them. They are one of the oldest automobile dealerships in Rochester, NY. and when they built their present dealership it had a state of the art service department. It has been 15 yrs since I left Rochester but I doubt their service department has gone to pot since they sell and service GM's top namplate. IMO

Can you give me a little more info in the "Paint Work" that has been done.. "How bad was the damage?? Would you be interested in a 05 C6 in trade? (12,000 miles on it) No paint work ever done...
