Before you send me an email asking me for my "best price, bottom-line or asking price" let me just make a suggestion based on 36 years of buying and selling experiences. Deals are made through conversations, not texting, not emailing or conversations without even knowing who or what you are talking to, they happen throughpersonal contact. I want my my clients to know who they are trying to make a deal with. I want to know their real intent to buy also. This equation does not exist with "What's your best price?" and no personal contact. I have gone to great lengths to find this incredible vehicle, make sure it's the best it can be for you and present it in a way that no other seller does online. I do that so we can talk, make a clear deal, fair for both sides and watch a happy buyer enjoy their new ride. If you just don't have the gumption to make contact and you just want an idea of price, look at what the market values posted above say, they are fairly accurate on AVERAGE vehicles across the US. If you think this vehicle is average, above or below, bid accordingly or. . . pick up the phone and have a pleasant conversation with a real enthusiast that can make your deal on the spot. Keeping it real.

Let's make a deal...Call me

Back-story from the owner...

You are looking for the nicest, best kept, best maintained 2000 Corvette you can find. You are here because the quality found in your neck of the woods, by even the lowest standards, is a joke. I know exactly how you feel. I attend specialty and dealer-only auctions every week searching for the best of the best in what I call "niche autos." I scan lists of over 3,000 vehicles locally each week and select cars I've come to know are hard to find and that fit my business model of marketing exclusively on eBay. C5 Corvettes make it onto my own list every time they show up and a small number of these, maybe 4-6 a week, might appear at one of the three major auctions here in the Las Vegas area or perhaps in local classifieds. During the past seven years I've seen 100 or more Corvettes every single year and what that means for you is; I have looked at, touched and smelled a lot of Corvettes. I am extremely picky about what to buy and this Corvette is one of just a handful nice enough for this business model. Past ownership, service history and condition, condition, condition are what matters. High performance vehicles are not always treated well, but a precious few are taken care of. This particular Corvette is one of those rare finds and you will not want to pass it up. Beautiful paint, spectacular interior, service history and an absolute knock-out to see in person. As good as my pictures are, they can't possibly show how truly beautiful this car really is. What else could you want? A great deal? I have that covered too but you will not be purchasing this fine automobile for wholesale or even low book value. You already know you get what you pay for and if you want unmatched quality, service, care and condition, this Corvette is a super rare find. Read what we have to say, examine every picture in detail, see the amazing condition, up close and personal and then make your call and give me an offer. I promise, you will not be disappointed.

Where do you find such low mile Corvettes?

From

Viva Las Vegas Autos!

2000 was just three years into the production of the C5 Corvettes. This convertible with ridiculously low miles and the hard to find color combination of Torch Red, the black convertible top and the black leather interior is a real head turner. Spectacular Torch Red clear-coat factory original paint looks new car brilliant over a smooth, damage free fiberglass body.This car was a special order car from a local owner and Corvette collector that also wanted to take delivery at the Corvette Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky. No wonder the owners kept the miles so low. Special...very special to them! When I find a low mile Corvette like this, about two to three times per year, I mean really low miles, I get so excited about them. I just know there is a special collector out there that's trying really hard to find the perfect Corvette for their collection. This may be it for you then. The color combination is rare, the low miles, almost as rare too. 2000 was almost two decades ago now, 18 model years ago too. That's barely over a 1000 miles per year. This car was a Garage Queen for sure but driven here in Las Vegas. Even so, the owners didn't skip a beat maintaining it either; we have great service records that were kept in their binder for their car. She needs nothing but a serious buyer who wants the best. Is that you?

More about the condition?

How's this...

LOOKS, DRIVES AND FEELS LIKE NEW!

What else am I supposed to say...it's only has 21,984 miles on it. Seriously

Tires have plenty of tread (80-90%) and I wouldn't hesitate to drive cross country on them.

The first thing I do before I buy any car is look at it's condition then do a very serious investigation on it's service history and care. As you can see looking at it from top to bottom, we have a great history on this car. Condition like this is indicative of an owner that takes pride in their vehicle. The owners of this car always used manufacturer suggested service. Anybody knows that when you take you car to the dealer service department, their objective is to inform you of any and all issues that your car may have so you can have them serviced. That makes their clients car stay in great shape and makes the dealer more money in service. It's all just part of their inspection programs. I spent years in dealership and even ran a service department. Looking at the condition of this car tells me, I bought a winner and I know you'll feel the same.

A breathtaking Corvette with quality and condition rarely seen in an 17-year old car and this Corvette shows pristine . . .

A little history about the original owner is always a bonus. I bought the Corvette from a personal friend of the original owner. They were both in the local Corvette Club and when this car came available the new owner treated it just like the original owner did...like a collector car taken out on special occasions. The only reason he sold it to me was because I sold another mutual friend of ours a 2003 Burgundy 50th Anniversary Collectors Edition car and he wanted another just like it but couldn't justify keeping two, this one would stay in the garage too much. So he called me and offered me the vehicle. Showed up at his house and the Corvette in the climate controlled garage us under it's cover still with a battery tender attached. We took off the cover as he made sure to fold it as we went from rear to front, then he handed me the key and said take it out of the garage. I did so I could get a full unencumbered look all the way around. I opened the drivers door and smelt the leather and new car smell emanating from inside the car. I asked him how he kept the miles so low. He told me his story of how his friend bought the car on a Corvette Museum Tour Package program. He had owned several Corvette over the years, from early vintage models to his last before this. Well, they live very near to the Las Vegas strip, didn't ever really take it on too many trips and that was that. It didn't take me long to decide to give him a cash offer and drive away. The car was in perfect condition, all books and records and some of his records from his museum tour too. To find a time capsule like this is so rare and when it comes to Corvettes, I cannot not go without them; especially C5s, my favorites.

C5 'Vettes have beautiful interiors. Keeping them beautiful after 17 years without rips (especially in the bolsters and seats) is a feat. It is just another reminder that the owners of this Corvette took loving care of their pride and joy. This is my passion, to find cars that were babied by their owners. The overall condition is as beautiful as it was when it left the factory.

Perfection that doesn't have to come at the cost of a Brand New car, yet looks like it came off the dealer's showroom today.

Magnesium Wheels are rare to see on Corvettes...a $2000 add to the sticker price...

The only paint chip on the entire car...on the Magnesium Wheels

5.7Liter V8 (LS1)

345horsepower @ 5,600/350 ft-lb torque @ 4,4000 RPM (stock)

Here is where you can see the care that was given to keep this gem in pristine condition.

Finding an undercarriage this clean will only happen when you find a car that has been extremely well cared for. No rust, No leaks, No damage. This is a very important aspect of our business model. If it isn't great under hear, what's up top can only be superficial.

A note from the owner.

I am a “used car dealer” but before that, I’m an automobile enthusiast. I love original rare and high quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I’ve been in business, have come to appreciate an expanding selection of high-demand, high value vehicles. I specialize in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that were cherished by their previous owners. I have an experienced eye for quality but I’ve discovered that my preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I have therefore, built my business and reputation around finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer. Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict requirements but a car must do something for me on a personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the bidder, that this is an above average, exceptional vehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it probably won’t do much for you either and I would soon be out of business.

With just four employees and no sales people, I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may at first glance appear. It has taken great care and effort to create such an organization and often, an unusually high investment in a particular car we are about to list. To sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my corner and Chris, owner of A-Best Auto Repair in Henderson, Nevada has my back. He and his crew can fix anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute most expensive exotic you can name, no job is too big and no small detail unimportant. They do an exhaustive 130 point inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes their methodical investigation. Experience has shown that everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy customer that says good things about me. Moreover; it allows my writer to describe the car with ease and confidence, something that simply is not possible unless he thinks it is true. If major issues are found or the cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it at auction.

After the vehicle is fully sorted it arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious eye of Tom, my writer that creates the presentations you see on eBay. He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else tells him about the car as he combs over every inch, researches its history and documents originality and authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special features, possible modifications and much more are used to accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty. Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150 high resolution pictures that I take myself. The pricey equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the very best professional photographers and I’ve developed a logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with close-up shots of every square inch. I provide detailed views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep. Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so meticulously clean. This reconditioning can sometimes take several days and I’ve converted a paint booth, especially prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each car lovingly receives.

Usually, I’ll also include a high definition video that shows the car doing its thing. If it’s a fast car, we film it going fast. If it’s a 4x4 you’ll see it crawling up a hill. In every case you will hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system and watch the temperature fall on a digital, laser thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent. How many “dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty? We do.

No “dealer,” on-line or in the real world, takes it to this level. No other seller or organization provides you, the buyer, with so much information. I do this because it is the only way I can convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or feel their purchase, that my vehicle is for real and what I say is the truth. All the above is necessary for me to stay in business while keeping integrity intact. I want every buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought it.

If you have any questions at all, please call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry is sincere and your offer serious, you’ll find me the most accommodating business partner you’ve ever dealt with. If you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the conversation. Until you are ready to actually pull the trigger, I will happily quote you the absolute highest nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a number we both know will not buy the car so, don’t waste your time, or mine. I am after all, a “used car dealer.”

Serious buyers know the maximum they can offer. I then must simply decide if I can sell for that number.

If you hit the reserve, the decision is no longer mine. I must sell at that number.
