https://austin.craigslist.org/cto/d/...458073579.html

Buyer beware...This seller is selling a 2010 Corvette with “Sport” package and LT3. Is it just me or is something really off here?

From the pics posted, it's neither a Grand Sport nor a LT3. It does have F55 mag ride which explains the drilled brake rotors (J55)

I agree it's not a Grand Sport, wrong kind of opening on the fender in front of the door. But it might have a 3LT option package, I don't know that much about the Grand Sport.

Front and rear fenders are wrong, brakes are wrong (for grand sport , should be Z06 brakes) It doesn't have the Bose (Nav) radio.

I don't know if the nav radio was included or an option still for a 3LT in 2010.

Has perforated ("sport" ) seats so it has to be at least a 2LT.

They don't show a pic of the door , so I can't tell if it has memory seats or not.

It does have heated seats , since you can see the buttons to the sides of the ashtray.

not sure why you are all fixated on grand sport, he probably means the j55 option as sport package.

The wheels don’t look like Grand Sport wheels either. No air intake on the front end as well....

And they don’t even look like OEM. They look a bit too thin.

The seller has it listed as a Grand Sport which it is not. As others have mentioned it looks like at least a 2LT base model corvette.

some people really have no idea what they own. I typically text them that their information is wrong and provide links to the information. I do not like the idea of someone looking at a car thinking it is something else.

I agree that some people really don’t know what they own. I can’t help but wonder if the seller bought the car with the same misinformation that they are now trying to pass along to the next unknowing buyer?

Plus, it has “special” 19” wheels. I guess this just amuses me for some reason!

Jstan2014 I know you have the best intentions with your thread, but a person buying a corvette should know at least a few things. Meaning, I don't know how a person thinking about buy it would really fall for the it's a Grand Sport.

Absolutely. I agree. I couldn’t imagine a person buying a Corvette not being somewhat informed about their purchase. I guess maybe seeing this car misrepresented in such a way is just difficult for me to grasp. Surely no one on this forum would buy or sell a car with such little knowledge of the car itself.
Besides that, the car doesn’t look bad at all, but it makes me question everything else about the car, and it’s history, when it clearly is not what it’s being sold as. ( slow day here for me)

It is a 2010 with J55 brakes an F55 suspension. 3LT. It is also either a full on scam or that car has been sitting a while. The registration sticker went out in 12/2016 and the inspection sticker (which Texas doesn't have anymore) went out in 2/2015. Really odd...

Good catch on the stickers!!
My eyes couldn’t focus in on those expired and outdated stickers. And we don’t use inspection stickers here anymore. You’re right. Something is way off here. Thanks.

And, you say it’s a 2008, not 2010? Now it’s really odd for sure.
