Before you send me that awful question, "what's your reserve or bottom line", let's take a moment to explain market values and how to get a deal on eBay. There isn't any "Book Value" from the Kelly Blue Book or NADA Guide on a car like this. Figures both selling and buying for cars like this are subjective in nature and the only number that counts, if you are the seller, is the one from a serious buyer that makes you an offer. Over 29 years in thebusiness, dealers like myself, buy and sell by looking at what the rarity is and how difficult it may be to find such a unique vehicle like this one. Do I have an asking price? Sure, I posted that Buy it Now Price, but that number will have nothing to do with what you may offer whether that's higher or lower. That is why we sell exclusively on eBay and at other reputable sites. The numbers or offers come from the buyers that are serious and just like me, make their own minds up as to what they are willing to spend. We arehere to sell cars. With fourteen yearsexclusivelyon eBay and perfect feedback, it's obvious we do.

Real buyers with serious offers in mind, either bid and they almost always call us. They almost always want to talk to the person in charge; that's me. I want to talk to you too and help you own this awesome vehicle. It keeps me in business. So, if you want a fantastic vehicle like you see here, one that is far above the average in condition, serviced and documented like this, simply call. Asking through email for my bottom line? Well, I just think you're not too serious or willing to make an offer; makes it a waste of my time and yours. If you just want to know what the market value is, do what we do, look atthe vehicle closely and try to find another just like it with similar rarity and documentation. If you can't find one, just decide what it is worth to you to own it. That is what I did and all we can hope for is that you offer a bit more than I did so I can stay in business. Most important though, since you "are" a serious and capable buyer, call me and let's talk. I don't wear a Plaid Coat, I don't talk really fast and I am the guy in charge, the owner, enthusiast and purveyor of some of the finest cars on the internet...not to mention the best thorough presentations.

Let's talk...Call me

Back-story from the owner...

You are looking for the nicest, best kept, best maintained 2005 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. C6 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 thirteen years I've seen 100s 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!

2005 was the First year of production of the C6 Corvettes and the magazines raved at the performance. This coupe with super low miles and exceptional original condition, the combination of the extremely rare Jewel Red Metallic Clearcoat finish, the Cashemere leather interior is a real head turner. Spectacular Jewel Red clear-coat paint looks new car brilliant over a smooth, damage free fiberglass body. The Cashmere leather interior impeccable. Triple all that together and wowza! That combination is the one to show off. No wonder the owner kept the miles so low. Super Equipped! When I find a low mile Corvette like this, about two to three times per year, I mean really a rare color like this, 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 option combination is perfect, the low miles and exceptional condition, almost as rare too. 2005 was over a decade ago now, 12 model years ago too. That's barely over a 4400 miles per year. This car was a Garage Queen for sure. Even so, the owners didn't skip a beat maintaining it either. 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 53,752 miles on it. Seriously

Tires have plenty of tread 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 owner 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 12-year old car and this Corvette shows nearly pristine . . .

C6 'Vettes have beautiful interiors. Keeping them beautiful after 12 years without rips (especially in the bolsters and seats) is a feat. It is just another reminder that the owner of this Corvette took loving care of their pride and joy. This is my passion, to find cars that were babied by their owners.

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.

Both the glass top and hard top are with this vehicle

Polished Chrome Alloy Wheels

6.0Liter FI V8 (LS2)

400horsepower @ 6,000/400 ft-lb torque @ 4,400 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.

All brakes are great too

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.
