Default 99 Nassua Blue Coupe M6

For sale is this 1999 Nassau Blue Metallic Coupe with pewter interior (looks like light gray. not brown!)

We purchased the car in 2007 with 70,000 miles on it and have driven it 43,000 miles since then. Odometer currently reads 113,xxx. We have never had any problems with it and has been very reliable. It has seen a few trips to the tail of the dragon and NCM and gets 30 mpg on highway trips. Its a smooth riding car that I would drive across country in a heartbeat. We have decided to sell because the car sat around last summer and was only used once or twice. Our free time is now spent using our camper at the campground rather than using the car, so it doesn't make much sense to just let it sit. Details are below.

I would put the paint at a 7/10 and interior at a 7/10. I will give details on both below. Looking to sell and not interested in trades.

Car has been well maintained during our ownership. stored winters and kept clean and mechanically maintained with 3,000 miles oil changes. It has seen rain on some trips but generally speaking it stayed in the garage unless it was sunny.

asking 12,000

Car is Located in Grand Rapids, MI

Title is free and clear.

VIN: 1G1YY22G5X5119671

Exterior Condition

The front bumper, headlgiht covers, and first few inches of the hood is where the flaws in the pain are on this car. with the mileage it has its share of paint chips. All paint is glossy and in good condition. It is not dull or scratched up anywhere. it is still a good looking car but the stone chips on the nose are noticeable when you get close. The following has been changed from stock.

-Reproduction Chrome Z06 wheels (Z06 size)
-Radio Flyer Bi-Xenon projector ACA headlights
-ACI rear duckbill spoiler (very subtle. not a big tall spoiler!)
-Bottom exhaust fascia painted black


Interior Condition

Interior had some stains on it when we bought it. There is one stain about 3 inches in diameter and another about 1 inch in diameter on the passenger side of the hatch/cargo area. In the passenger compartment the actual carpet is in good shape and the floor mats are in fair shape. No stains but they do show minor wear that you would expect of a well maintained 100,000+ miles car. seat leather has no stains or rips but also show the same wear as described. Here is a list of things that have been changed from stock.

-C6 Z06 shifter and ****
- Pioneer double din AVIC-X940BT bluetooth radio with NAV
-LED lighting
-Hard wired hook up for Passport or Valentine radar detectors by rear view mirror.


Mechanical

Car runs with no known problems. There are no lights that come up on the dash and is mechanically sound to my knowledge. When there were issues they were addressed right away. a "tune up" was done at about 100,000 miles. It got new plugs, wires, and PCV valve as well as new GM C6 Z06 Shocks on all 4 corners. Tires all match. They are BFGoodrich G-Force KDW and have about 80% life left on the front and about 70% life on the rear. Wheels are Reproduction chrome Z06 wheels in Z06 size. Front tires are 265/40/17 and rears are 295/35/18. Here is a list of things recently replaced.

-Tires
-Brake Rotors (slotted and dimpled with silver zinc coating)
-Brake pads
-Braided stainless brake lines
-Coolant level sensor
-Shifter position switch (replaced when reverse lights weren't coming on)
-New AC Delco gold series battery last year
-Rear differential fluid and additive
-AMSOIL trans fluid
-Oil Change

A couple upgraded parts:
-Veraram VR-B2 intake
-Borla stinger axle back exhaust.

What I think it needs.

-Front bumper repainted if the stone chips bother you
- Seat foam and covers. Driver foam is worn, passenger side is still fair. Seats still look good with no tears/rips but this is a known issue on the 97-99 model years.
- top needs to be properly adjusted. It does not leak, but does rattle/squeak when going over rough road


The car is a well maintained car that has been well taken care of. it has been driven fairly often up until the last couple years. Its still a nice looking car and still gets lots of attention. Especially due to its fairly rare color.

any questions? Just ask!

No. No sign of slipping or excess wear. holds strong. It was never drag raced or road raced during my ownership. Just some spirited back roads driving. Im pretty easy on components. I don't creep in traffic and don't sit at lights with the clutch depressed. I understand that stuff all adds to the wear.

Yeah I know where you're coming from with the clutch. I've never had to replace a clutch in my cars, some very high mileage. Like you I'm easy on driveline components.
Does it have any leaks?

I just went and got it from my buddies house today where it sat in his garage all winter and the floor is dry underneath it. So no leaks!

Maybe it's just me, but...is that a replacement console trim plate? It looks like there's no flip-up door for the ashtray & APO access...

It is. The factory piece does not work with double din NAV radio upgrades because the factory radio is only din and a half. it is the original piece modified by DoubleD mods. I chose the ash tray delete option because i'm not a smoker and the cigarette lighter wasn't important to me. There is still one in the center console though. I think the flip up door delete make it look cleaner.
