Hi Folks,

I am selling my 2012 Corvette Convertible with the 3LT Package.  Automatic Transmission.  The exterior color is Blade Silver Metallic, the interior is Titanium Gray and the convertible top is Black.  This car is in excellent condition.  It only has 1,990 miles on it, though the mileage will probably go up some due to test rides, etc.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with this car.  There is not a lot to say about the condition since it is very close to new condition.  I keep all of my cars and motorcycles in top condition.  All my vehicles are stored in a climate controlled shop.  I am a fanatic about maintenance and cleanliness.  I bought this car new from Deery Brothers Cheverolet in Iowa.  When I received the car, I immediately added 93 octane fuel and SeaFoam.  At 408 miles I had Bud's Cheverolet, St. Mary's, OH, do an oil change and filter change.  I always change the oil and filters in my vehicles after the first several hundred miles.

I have also done several upgrades.  I installed a new Kenwood DNX570HD Stereo Head Unit with External Bluetooth Mic.  This has Garmin Navigation, Sirius XM, Bluetooth, CD Player, etc.  Also installed JL Audio front and rear speakers.  The stereo upgrade cost $1,300.  I still have the original Bose unit and speakers.  Nothing has been altered on the car to install the stereo.  It was simply plug and play and can easily be switched back to OEM, which is the Bose 9 Premium Audio System.

The car also came with the OEM DVD Navigation System.  I did not use this system, nor did I open the DVD that comes with it.

I have not activated the 1 year XM radio free trial.  Nor have I opened the DVD for the Garmin Navigation.  I also did not activate the free 6 months OnStar subscription. 

In addition to the 3LT Package, this car also as the F55 option, which is the Magnetic Selective Ride suspension package.  If you have never used this, it is simply awesome!  I was very impressed with the quality of the ride.  When you switch it from Tour to Sport, it really firms it up, but Tour is perfect for everyday driving.  I would never own another Corvette without it.

Another great option, which this car has, is the 6 Speed Paddle Shift Automatic Transmission.  What a blast!  I have always been a manual transmission guy, but not anymore!  In fact, I bought a 2013 Mazda Miata and ordered the Paddle Shift Auto Transmission on it, also!

The car also has the Traction Control System and Active Handling System.

Also added was the NPP exhaust option ($1,700.00).  This is a dual exhaust mode which allows the user to choose whether to run in quiet mode or loud mode.  Again, another option I wouldn't do without.  This allows you to run in a quiet mode when you don't want the noise.  But, when you turn it to loud, it really wakes up!  From the factory, it only becomes loud when the RPM reaches a certain threshold.  However, I also had installed Sunset Creations Elite Exhaust Commander ($300.00), which allows the user to control the quiet/loud mode at their choosing.  The Exhaust System was installed by Troy at Bud's Cheverolet, St. Mary's, OH.

More upgrades:

Lloyd Floor Mats with embroidery and Lloyd Cargo Mat ($300.00)

WindRestrictor ($400)

Dual Cup Holders ($50)

I think that just about describes the vehicle. I encourage people to come and see the car in person. I think you will be impressed with the car and the cleanliness of my home and shop.  I am a very particular person when it comes to my vehicles and shop.

When I received the car, I also did an extensive detailing to it. I first gave it a thorough washing using only car wash soap. Then I used a clay bar on the entire car. When I was done, I did another thorough washing. Next up came a gentle polish using my Flex XC 3401 Orbital Polisher. After that I finished off with Wolfgang's Paint Sealant.  For everyday cleaning I use Pinnacle Souveran Liquid Spray Wax and Pinnacle Detail Spray. I only use high quality Microfiber towels on my vehicles. 

I have the clear title in hand.  I have all receipts and paperwork including both key fobs and manuals.  I also have the original window sticker.  The vehicle is covered by the remainder of the 5 year/100,000 mile warranty. 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks for your time!

Chris McCarthy

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
