2007 Chevrolet Corvette

I just bought a 2007 Lemans Blue Z06. This is my 11th Corvette to date. In additiona I've owned Porsches and a Ferrari. In the past it was a good car for the price and a great performance car but it had a lot of rough edges that the Porsche had worked out a long time ago. But this car changes all of that. Compared to the Z06 the Ferrari has a kit car feel to it. The Porsche is a refined car but it has a chick's car feel compared to the Z06. The Z06 is a guy's car. It is brutally fast, excellent handling but in addition it now has great ride quality and is very comfortable on a long trip. The fit and finish are excellent as are the ergonomics. The Corvette has finally grown up. This car does not need the excuse "for its price" any longer. In fact it makes the other cars seem way overpriced for what you get. It gives you 99 percent of the performance of a Ford GT for way less than half the price. It gives you everything the Ferrari and Porsche have to offer and then some for a fraction of the price as well. I am always looking for excuses to go for a drive. I'm glad that I bought it instead of leasing it. I plan on putting a lot of miles on this car. I am a little nervous about the carbon fiber fenders but they are available from any GM dealer in the country for less than half the cost of the same parts for an exotic car. Aside from the visceral enjoyment I get from driving it the electronics are a real kick. The head up display is awesome. After driving the Z06 I really miss it in my other cars. The keyless start and security systems also has a very high "cool factor" If you have the remte in your pocket the car unlocks as you walk up to it. When you get in you just push one button and the car cranks and starts automatically. The voice activated navigation system works much better than I thought it would. Overall I have to rate this as a... must buy. I only have two minor problems with the Z06. One is that the roof panel is not removable and the second is that it has really spoiled me. It has set the bar so high that it is going to take something pretty spectacular to impress me.

really like everything about it, Runs well great paint . Good milage. Looks great . Handles well . Great interior

all our friends and family laughed when they heard we bought it on ebay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was the best thing we ever did. It was loaded and no dealer anywhere near us could match even close to the price we bid. The car looks and smells brand new. The dealer in Fla. arranged the shipping (cheap as sin)and kept in contact with us until it arrived at OUR DOOR! He even contacted us afterwards to see how we liked it! We have wanted one for a long time and when we saw this baby on ebay...we had to have it(this was a no reserve bid!). As a matter of fact, we are now saving $ for a Prowler and will get it on ebay!!!

Pros:
Wicked Fast: Comparable to other World Class Cars
Best Value: 560 hp for less than a Z06 and rarer.
Best Warranty: Callaway matches the Factory Warranty and vice Versa
Best Service: Chevrolet Dealer, Chester Springs PA

Cons:
Too much plastic used on interior products (squeaks, rattles, hums)
Two Services
1600miles: Threw belts off vehicle at low RPM
6600miles: Water Pump Leaked and Replaced under warranty
UPgrades: Extremely costly

I love the car's special color, Monterey Red, as well as the new body style. It is in extremely good condition with low mileage. It is a vast improvement over my 1996 Corvette.
I bought this car after winning the bid and then flew to Houston to see it. The Seller had copied another eBay add describing a similar Corvette, but one with different features. The specific features of this car were only partially correct in the eBay auction documents. It did not have the Heads-up Display (HUD),which was one of my criteria for a new Corvette. It also did not have Satellite Radio or On-Star as advertised, but these were not of high importance to me. The Seller did not have clear title to the car and signed a incorrect BOS, but after a week or so of calls and emails, plus some help from my attorney, the Seller was able to get the proper documentation required for me to be able to register the car in my name.

Bottom line, I will NEVER buy a car again on eBay, instead I will only only deal with a local dealer who is reprutable, and one that I can get any questionable items resolved on the spot, even if at a slightly higher sale price. Buyer-Be-Ware is truly the only good advice for buying on eBay.

Love the car it looks and drives great, got a real good deal on it, had only 2,500 miles on it, great price about $6,000.00 under low blue book.

Disappointment's
While driving car home from seller, I heard a clunking noise when going slow on un even road, went to my local dealer for warranty repair, found out it had several repairs done on it before I made purchase; a clutch, and body damage that had been repaired & repainted. Repairs needed just after my purchase;
tie rod end's, sway bars and CV boot.

The GM dealer told me the car came from a racing school in Phoenix.
Needless to say I was not happy that the seller did not disclose this information, especially since I asked them if there was any thing I needed to know about the car before I sign the papers. I think diclosing that a car coming from a racing school is an important factor when purchasing a vehicle. When I confronted seller, he claimed he was not aware the car came from a racing school. Kinda hard to belive this. Lucky for me the GM dealer will warranty repairs - 36,000/2010. Tried to get compensation from seller at least $2,700.00 extended warranty he sold me, he said no way.

I am considering consulting a Lawyer regarding this matter. At this time I am not sure what to do, being that my local dealer said because it came from a racing school, even though it only had 2500mi, they were hard miles and I face the possiblity of on going repairs. Also, I worry about the safety issues of driving the vehilce.

the people i bought it from was great i mean great the car was like new had older vettes but this thing is great all i can say is buy one

This is the first Corvette that I've owned. I have driven and spent considerable time in a 2004 and I must say that the 2007 is a major improvement in ride, stability and quality of construction. I would not hesitate to recommend this car based on the overall sports car experience for the money. I did buy the car used on Ebay and encountered no problems whatsoever. Keep in mind this is a sports car and you will hear and feel all the road feedback. Overall the 2007 Corvette is very easy to live with even for a 59 year old.

Thank you Tim... My Vett Fly's
Godwin Automotive is the most professinal Dealership I ever deal with.

I bought the car for my wife. She loves it. It has plenty of power while still getting fuel mileage in the mid 20s. The car was as described on Ebay, beautiful.The car handles and drives great,as well as get alot of thumbs up while driving. We will buy other vehicles online but will NEVER have a vehicle shipped again. The car did not arrive as planned and when it got there we could not tell the color of the car from all the filth. It seems there was a POS parked above it that had leaked oil and dropped chunks of mud all over the car. The plane ticket to get it would have been alot better than dealing with an angry wife!
