Default Goodbye Old Girl.
Sold on Facebook marketplace. It’s still a PITA dealing with tire kickers, but you can look at their profile and see if they are a douche. Sold to an Army veteran.

Nice looking car. When I bought my C7 I traded in my C6 and between the trade in value the corvette loyalty money and tax savings I felt I could get much more selling it myself. This way I didn't have to deal with tire kickers or possible scammers.

Yeah, but trading in a 20 YO car means you get a pittance. C5 prices have stabilized somewhat on the used car market. I had 75 people hit me for this car.

And you had people on here asking you about it before you listed it on Fakebook.

Nice looking Vette.

I have sold five Vettes. Sold all of them to the first person that looked at them.

Not having the front fender strike works, never thought of that

I traded my Z06 in and somebody from over there bought it immediately....even after knowing I farted in the seat.

It was bitter sweet to see it go, but meh...it was time.

It might not grab you, but after seeing it in person recently. I liked it better than the pics.
