Default I saw this gorgeous '13 Anniversary vert for sale -- but ....



I just saw this 2013 60th Anniversary GS convertible for sale on the galaxy's largest auction site. Less than 11,000 miles. Really nice pics until ...



Selling dealer wants $51,500. Good luck, pal. I do not think 4LT dashes are in production any longer, and this interior is outfitted in the one-year-only blue leather. Maybe you could find one in the boneyard.... Thanks, GM, for your undying commitment to long-term quality.

some guys have removed the dash and glued it back down. When they installed at the factory they apparently only put a dab of glue here and there so most of the dash had none.
If you could get a good deal on it I wouldn't be afraid to fix it yourself, I would use it as a big bargaining stick to get the price down.

Until what? I'm sorry am I missing something here? Are you talking about the dash? It looks like that's just the reflection of the glass casting some weird light rays onto it, nothing looks wrong with it at all..

No, the leather is separated from the Dash, it is a known issue with the 3LZ and 4LT option.

13 anniversary are some of the most desirable C6 one can buy and they do commands a premium price especially with such low mileage although I can’t understand how someone try to sell it with such a major issue the asking price is somehow correct for a pristine one owner car

Agreed, it can be repaired (others have done so on the forum) but as other posters have stated - definitely use that as one of your negotiation points when discussing price.

Gonna agree with narddog, that looks like reflections. When the dashes fail, it usually iis a bubble, not several wrinkles like that appears to me.

The dashboard issues is also way overblown, like all potential issues here. Don't later the dash up with chemicals like you're a Yankee headed to Daytona putting on sunscreen and it will likely never have an issue.

It's definitely the dash. Look at the area near the defroster vent. My 3LZ dash is doing something similar, but it's a small ridge on the other side of the defroster vent closer to the windshield. Plan to get it repaired at some point. Just hoping it doesn't get much worse.

$51k for a GS!? that's very nice 427 Vert money.
BTW any competent interior shop can fix the dash issue

Dealer should get the dash fixed, then they can over charge for the low miles.

The dash is fine, the cover can be fixed and it's a Grand Sport, it has a LS3.
