Default For sale 2008 z51 6 speed, loaded 17,000 miles. $28,500

CAR IS SOLD.
I am selling my Showroom condition 2008 Coupe. LS3, 436 hp. This car is a 3LT in Crystal Red Metallic. The car is perhaps the nicest 08 in the country. Virtually indistinguishable from brand new. It is part of my small collection. I am trimming down my collection. Car has Z51, M6, Heads Up display, Nav, Heated Seats two tone Cashmere and Ebony seats with crossed flags on the headrests, power telescoping wheel, glass roof etc. I bought this car from the original owner in July with 13,000 miles.. The car was kept in a bubble/climate controlled setting and has never seen any weather. Virtually brand new inside, outside and underneath. Bone stock except for B&B Bullets. The car had the NPP. I sold them. They were too quiet. This car sounds and runs amazing. Original tires. I know they are old, but the way the car was kept they have not deteriorated. No leaks, No shimmies on the highway. I changed all the fluids on my lift. The paint looks wet. Many coats of Zaino on it.
No disappointments with this car. It is stunning. Not a mark on the car. I had Expel Ultra protective film professionally installed on the nose and mirrors.
I have the Clean Carfax and Auto Check in hand. Clear Title in my possession. Car has never been hit or had any paint work. It has been fanatically maintained since day one. Sticker was over $60,000. I have all records and paperwork from day 1.
Please, no picture collectors. Serious buyers. If you are really interested PM me for phone contact or e-mail me. Asking $28,500. Car is in my barn on Cape Cod Mass. email capevettes@comcast.net

I had the opportunity to check this coupe out before it was listed for sale. The paint is very deep without any blemishes or marks. The seats and door sills show no signs of wear or marks. I have looked at several cars that have mild cracking on the seat bolsters, this car has none of that and the two tone interior is a great combination that compliments the paint. The wheels are virtually new, the underneath of the car is as clean as you would find on a showroom new C7. My only concern would be the age of the tires, certainly not the condition as the tread is very deep both on the front and rear. The owners entire collection is meticulous and well cared for. You would be hard pressed to find a better 2008 C6 in nicer condition. I would be proud to have this Corvette in my garage. Bump for a great car, best of luck with the sale.

Thank you John. I should have hidden the C7 Z when you came by. The 08 might have found it's way to your garage. I am happy to enjoy the 08 until it sells. Good luck finding your C7. They are great cars.

Crystal Red Metallic is my favorite Corvette color and your ‘08 Z51 is absolutely stunning! Best of luck with the sale.

Thanks for the kind words Mickey. Kind of surprised someone hasn't jumped on this. Kind of like buying a new 08 Z51. Maybe I can throw in a set of new Michelin Pilot Super Sports delivered to the buyer's door? If the sale price is close to my asking I would consider that, if that is holding potential purchasers back. Only been a couple of days though. Taking it for a nice ride today.

Car is SOLD. The new owner is a GM Engineer/Designer from Michigan. He flew in yesterday afternoon to Green Airport in Providence. I picked him up at the airport and drove him to my house. We had a celebratory beer, filled out the paperwork, affixed his plate and he began his drive back to Michigan, almost 800 miles away. Chris, the new owner, is a terrific guy who really appreciated the way this car was maintained. I changed the oil in the morning, so he can start with fresh oil.

Best of luck with your "new" 08

Thanks Hunter. I figured it would go quickly. He was blown away by the condition. I'm real happy it went to a great guy who will continue to take meticulous care of the car, but drive it and enjoy it.

Thank you John. He called last night from Michigan. He said, as expected, it ran like a new car. Hard to beat a fly and drive.
Did you find a C7?

Thanks again Paul! Car performed better than expected! It was great meeting you and Janet. Come to think of it, this is the first car I didn't test drive BEFORE buying, but so glad I did! Will keep in touch. Now who wants a nice 05' manual coupe in the same color combo?

My pleasure Chris. I know all of it was a leap of faith. Glad it turned out as you hoped.
Enjoy it.
