This 2012 Torch Red C6 LT1 model Corvette coupe has been extremely well cared for and has been regularly serviced by the original dealer throughout its life. I am the second owner. The vehicle was traded in to the original dealer, I purchased the vehicle the following day with 10000 miles on the odometer.
I purchased this vehicle shortly after I retired because I had been smitten with Corvette fever when they first came on the market in 1953. I was driving down the street one day and saw this car on the used car lot and thought "what the heck, at least I can test drive one.." an hour later I owned it. I was a bit concerned because I had developed an intense dislike for driving any significant distance because of the boredom and general discomfort associated with long car trips.This car changed all that for us, my wife and I are always amazed at what a pleasure it is to drive. We also enjoy the waves and smiles people give us when they see the car. The discussions you can get into with other car enthusiasts are well beyond being just interesting. A couple months after purchase we decided to travel to the West coast, in preparation for the 5 to 6000 mile trip.I replaced the OEM tires at 11,000 miles with new Michelin Pilot Sport tiresfor improved road handling and reduced road noise(the new Michelins now have 11,300 miles on them).80% of the accumulated miles on the car are highway cruising miles. The OEM tires are in my garage can be made available for a small cost.
If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive introduction into the pleasures of driving Corvettes this may be the car for you. If you are looking for the hot rod version try the much more expensive Z0x models, they have upwards of 600hp off the factory floor. Mine has a mere 430 horsepower. Both are a hoot to drive.
The original Radio/CD player has been replaced by a Pioneer AVIC 8000NEX. The AVIC 8000NEX is a full function SiriusXM/ AMFM Radio/GPS/Bluetooth. All features of the NEX are easily reviewed by googling AVIC 8000NEX and downloading the user manual. The original manual for the NEX will be included with the car.
The last photo is of the RPO sticker which is located in the glove box. This location makes it very difficult to take a good photo. You will note 9 small code numbers that have been added in the lower right of the photo, these were added to provide the information lost due to the flash glare. The RPO codes are the build sheet for the automobile and list all original equipment when the car comes from the factory.
Following is a full listing of the RPO code conversions into plain English.
