*EDIT* The car is SOLD- I don't really know if there's a way to update this thread or to remove it...?
I'm located in Central Texas. I'm selling this 2013 Arctic White, 3LT Grand Sport Corvette with Navigation. It has 44K miles on it. Many of those miles are highway 'road trip' miles. It has a 6spd Manual transmission. I've added a few modifications to it over the years. I have owned this car since it was new. I bought it in December 2013 & it had 6 miles on the odometer. I am a disabled Veteran from the Army, so I've had a lot of time to drive, clean & maintain this car. What an amazingly, reliable car. To be honest, I drive it every chance I get. I don't beat on it but I just enjoy cruising in it. It's nice to be able to have the option to take the top off on a cool sunny day. My Father & I drove it across the Country touring & visiting various places like Niagara Falls, Bowling Green, Blueridge Parkway, etc... I have been using Amsoil Signature Series 5w-30 oil & Amsoil Ea oil filters ever since it's very first oil change. It has been my daily driver since December 2013. I'm slightly O.C.D. & after I start the car, I click the display to read Oil Temperature. Over all the years driving it, I've never seen the oil temperature climb up over 190°. The AC blows cold in the hot Texas Summer. The ceramic window tint really cuts down on the heat. If you were to buy a brand new car & put all these mods on yourself, it would set up back a good deal. I've already had them done & they were done right- Professionally installed. The car now makes 421 hp & 435 lbft tq. at the wheels. As far as tuning goes, I specifically asked Jeff at Central Texas Performance for a conservative/safe tune for durability & longevity since it's my daily driver. With that said, the car may be running a bug hair rich. A different tune quite possibly would squeeze more power out of it. The MGW shifter, my buddy & I installed before any other modifications were done to the car (it was not very difficult to install). The car made 421 hp, 435 lbft at the wheels after all the parts were installed & tuning was completed.

Reason: SOLD
Very first post but I've been stalking the FS threads for a few weeks. Your car is beautiful and definitely caught my eye. I'm in the DFW area. It's definitely well taken care of.
Given the mileage, I have to agree with the other guy, I think your asking price is fairly high all things considered.
I'll follow the thread though if you choose to lower the price. Best of luck on the sale!

Thanks for the comment. I don't think my wife will let me lower the price much...Akrapovic exhaust & coated headers were expensive. I am not completely unreasonable so, I guess we'll see if there are some offers.

I echo what other are saying about the price. Your car is beautiful but KBB states a value range of $34-37K Another white GS, granted a little older but same mileage, just went for ~$30K this week on here.

No offense, but if anything the aftermarket exhaust and headers only bring down the price of your car. Beautiful car though!

The problem you will run into is for not much more than $40K a person can get into a used C7. GLWS, but if you want this to move quickly you might consider lowering your price to the mid 30's.

GLWS!! I honestly think you'll get more attention with the price at $38K. Car looks clean and for that price very competitive with other GS's I've seen here and on Autotrader and CarGurus. You might consider putting your price in your ad description also.

Thanks for your comment. I tried to updated my price description. I would like to sell this thing. Someone will be getting a great car if they buy it.
I see you're not getting much attention. At least not on the forum. I'm afraid it's the 40,000 miles on a 2013 that's hurting your sale at $37,500. For a Vette of that age, 40,000 miles is kind of on the higher side. Depending on how quickly you'd like to move this you might consider lowering your price even more if you have the room to do so. I've been shopping for a few months now and 2013 Vettes with those miles seem to be selling quickly around the $30-$35K range. That said, I'm sure the right buyer will come along at $37,500. It's obviously up to you how long you want to wait. JMHO!!

I see your point. I would imagine, someone will realize it's been a highway star & a great running machine w/the right mods & not over the top to hurt reliability. Thanks for your comment.
Yes, sorry that I forgot to mention it. I included the vin in the FS post so people could see the vehicle history. There was a chuckle head that pulled out in front of me. I almost stopped in time but bumped into the back of them going about 3 mph. It was an SUV so it was the right height to crumple the nose.
