Too good to be true?? Ive been looking for a Black/Black 3LZ/M7, aero3....even has the suede. Dealer looks kinda shady to me. Plus me being on the west coast.......Dealer had its name changed to an LLC recently. Looks like its trying to get into some higher end cars.
a quick search on that place suggests something is amiss with that dealer
I wouldn't touch a car like this from some sketchy corner lot used car place that recently reorganized it's structure
ESPECIALLY if you are far away, it's one thing if it's 5 minutes from your place
You'll fly out there and have some wild card come out of nowhere and then be screwed
Those pictures are from BJ Motors which is another red flag. Possible they did a dealer trade but doubtful. Check another corvette you can see it's the same backdrop: https://www.bjmotors.biz/2015-chevro...57-c-13663.htm
Yup, same backdrop. I knew they shopped their name on the door. Which was stupid in the first place. Bjs is in Texas and they are in Indiana....highly doubt that cars there. Guess why he couldnt just shoot me some pics over the phone of matching Vins. SMH people.
The place doesn't look like a fly by night place but it doesn't look like it is the best place to purchase a used car.
Buy here/Pay here places make me suspicious. The pictures were definitely not taken at this location since the number of garage bays in the pictures don't match what this building has.
A quick look at the Carfax shows that the vehicle is registered in New York still. It would have updated to show that a dealer took it into inventory unless they are selling it through consignment. The whole thing is definitely too good to be true in my opinion.

In the past with these type situations I proceed with caution.
If you want a bargain often times there are some risk involved, otherwise it wouldn't be priced as a bargain.
What I have done is, pay a friend or relative that is near by to go there and check the car out. Even drive it if possible and report back.
If you don't have a friend or relative near by, tell the seller you will pay him a couple of hundred bucks to take the car to a near by Chevy dealer that sells a good many Vette's and have the car "inspected for sale". Then provide you the inspection results, the Dealership and service managers name.
Or you can pay an appraiser in the local area to go by and appraise the car then send you a report if the seller will allow it. This is more expensive but it shouldn't be more than a few hundred bucks.
This line of request from you alone will tell you a good deal about the sellers character and if he is well intention-ed.
In the past I have had good results with this method or some modified form of it.
By the option list it may have been a Spring Mountain track car and yes the dealer looks iffy to me.
Have a dealer DC Motors in Anaheim CA that has a few Spring Mountian cars. He has his listed at 74K but the warranty is reduced due to 4 to 6,000 race miles on the damn things...
From their ad description V V V V V V This vehicle is a former factory licensed GM driving school Corvette and is under factory warranty with limitations
What do you think??
