Looking again
I bought a 2009 base Vette convertible in 2009, slightly used, and kept it for two years trading it on a 2011 CTS Coupe. I regretted the decision almost immediately and have been pining for another Vette ever since. This one is going to be a manual transmission and at least a 3LT. I've seen a 2012 4LT convertible for sale, manual transmission but nowhere does it say it is a Grand Sport and there are no clear pictures of the side to see the rear brakes and vents behind the door that are on a GS. My question is, are all 4LT Grand Sports?

Here is the link to the ad. What do you guys think? To me it looks like a GS but the ad is all in French and I am an English speaking Canuck.

I noticed that the Corvette flags are all black yet other black Vettes I've looked at have red on one side of the flag. Is this an after market purchase or maybe just in keeping with the black motif?

It comes that way on the Centennial edition Vettes, which this is. The black is not the regular black paint, but a metallic black.

With the exchange rate today between the US and Canadian dollars, $52,000 US dollars equate to $54, 828 Canadian dollars. Factor in my savings in taxes on a $30,000 trade in ($1,690) and the fact that I did not pay what they were asking, it comes out pretty much the same as it would have cost me to buy yours. I'm sure it's a beautiful car though, would like to see pics.
