Jeeze, that's so cheap! You got an awesome deal. They had a ridiculous amount of mark-up on that car if you got it for like 28k plus tax. I sell cars too, but our markup is usually around 1800-2500, if that.

I had found a red GS within about 50 miles on the odometer at a Chevy dealer that was listed for $32400 & a grey GS with 30K miles for $30300 at an independent dealer about 150 miles away, so I went to them with info on both and told them if they made it more reasonable I'd buy today. They called the VP of the company & I got the great deal! They also have a lifetime warranty on the engine as long as I have records of oil changes every 4K miles, besides the 6 month/6K miles. I guess it really does pay to shop at the end of the month.

I sold my 650+rwhp Chevy SS Sedan in November and bought my one owner, 2012 Centennial Edition GS a few weeks later at a Mercedes dealer in Delray Beach, FL. The previous owner really took care of the car. I can tell that they had the paint corrected and had a coating applied because the paint is incredible! Anyway, I've been hording performance parts for it and today I finally dropped it off at the shop to have an ECS supercharger, A&A secondary drive, Texas Speed headers, and e85 fuel system installed. It's going to be nice being back in a supercharged LS3 again!

On to the pics....

Just curious, what made you sell the SS for the Vette?

Can anyone point me in the direction for some side skirts for the GS?

When I was 20, I bought a used C5 and owned it for 6 years. I was starting a family so I sold it and bought a Tahoe. I really loved my Corvette and missed it. So when the SS was released, I though it was the best of both worlds, a Corvette with a back seat! I sold the Hoe and bought the SS. It was my only car and I needed a backseat for my kid. After two years I was able to pick up a truck to use as a daily/family hauler. And after owning the truck and SS for a while, I realized I could get back into a Corvette. So I was between getting a new C7 with no mod money left over or a C6 with mod money left over. Chose the tried and true LS3 over the new LT1, plus the C6 body is still my favorite generation.

But the SS was an incredible car that did everything well. You could tell it was something special.

Gotcha. I was just curious since I've been asked the same thing about why I traded my C6 GS (it was a centennial, too!) for the SS! I'd actually like to pickup a truck or full-size SUV for a spare vehicle or maybe to replace the wife's SRX.

I am scheduled to take mine to a local detail shop with a great reputation to have a 2 step paint correction and then coat it with IGL Kenzo in about 2 weeks. Mine has some surface scratches, water spots and is covered with swirl marks. He had just finished a 13 GS when I was there last Friday and it looked incredible. Here are some pics of a 17 GS he did with the same coating. This car only had 700 miles on it and they showed me some before pics and the paint was worse than mine. Then not long after they made the paint look like this the owner had a supercharger put on it and the place that did it took it on a test drive and totaled it.

Beautifully Bad A**! Looks like some custom diamond stitching on interior as well. Nicely done! 👌
