If you need to get rid of the LT4 before you can get the C6 then I would sell it outright before trading it in. You can find a yellow C6 on any dealers lot but how many LT4's can you find? I have owned and sold two corvettes and what the dealer(s) wre going to give me was crazy. In fact one was...

Yep. I sold my 84 GN with 90k on the clock about 6 years ago for $8k and thought I did pretty good. Now try to even find one that is not trashed, and when you do they are much higher than $8k and that was a 1 in 2000 car. (if I could find one of those I would not even be looking at a Vette) I...

Thanks for the feedback it is appreciated. Value I guess is less than $7K but more than zero. Number I threw at him after looking was $5K which he turned down. It is mid August and I will check back with him Mid Sept, and then mid Oct, etc. I would hate for a car like that to be sold cheap to...

Hello CAC members! I have not been on here in a while because I have been out of the Corvette hobby for a little over a year. anyways, I am now back on a search for a Corvette, either a decent C4 or a decent C5. I have owned both, with the C4 being a Ruby 40th Vert and the C5 being an '01 zo6...

This is why I posted this and yes when time permits I will check myself. If low on R134 I have anonther Mech. I can take too. Posted another thread about a fuel guage issue and I took the car to the dealer when I had BOTH issues. AC they could not figure out and now fuel issue they can not...

I already did a search on the forum for this and came up with several posts regarding Techron fuel additive. I will give that a whirl but here is what the issue is: Fuel guage will go to E all of a sudden and check guages light will come on. Took to dealer and they reset the codes (I do not...

Mine is doing the same thing... 01 Z06. Blows cold out of passenger and hot out of driver. I had dealer check it out and they said it could "possibly" be an actuator and would start with that but quoted me $1100 to fix the actuator but also said that may not be the right fix. I am assuming...

I have had the privilage to own 4 Buick TR's First was an 85 WH1 T-Type, (Designer series, black/silver/black) bought it when I was 19 in 87. I could not afford the $15,xxx sticker price. It was not uncommon to find the GN's with dealer mark-up. The T-type and turbo T were the same car just...

I dont think anyone will argue with that. The issue is when the item is being sold, does the seller try to sell somthing the car is not. I can grab Z06 badges and put it on a FRC C5 but it is not a Z06. If the seller indicates it is and trys to increase the value to an uneducated buyer then that...

I came accros an early C4 that sat along side of the road all summer with a for sale sign on it. You have all seen the picture before, car sits so long that when the person mows, they dont move the car everytime and grass grows around the car. Anyways, not needing another car I never stopped...

Could an H3 handle a 21 foot ski boat? I need a tow vehicle and the boat is the biggest toy I have to pull. I also need room for 3 hockey bags, 3 kid size hockey players and a hockey mom. :)

Thanks for the heads up. I was thinking on getting rid of my expedition with 175K miles and was thinking of an H3 or a Colorado but I may stay away. I had a problem years ago with an 89 S-10 that I bought with 8K miles on it in 90. I think it had a 60K warranty on it and I started hearing a...

Follow up. Dealer fixed it and after I brought it home, I noticed small drops of tranny fluid on the grage floor. Took it back and the dealer removed the trans and resealed the case along with new input and output seals. During the inspection the tech noticed the the left inner CV boot was...

Yes, they are fixing it. I took it back to the dealer and one of the mechanics rode with me and it did not take long before the car popped out of first. He indicated he had to pull the trans. He said someone should have caught it when they took the car in. They said thier main goal was to make...

Thanks LLC5 and Hib, I did not think there was anyway possible they could be related but thought I would ad that just in case. I am taking it back to them on Wednesday and let them take their time with it. They sell and service alot of Vette's so it is not like I bought it from some Kia dealer...
