The front license plate COVER is missing. I live in Florida and picked up the car from Ohio where the plate must be displayed. Somewhere along the way the original cover was removed and not replaced upon sale. I have been looking for one as a result.

FWIW: This is what mine cost I Bought my 1997 Fairway Metallic Green Coupe with 382xx miles on it, great condition (exterior at least ;) ) for $16k and change from a dealer. The seats are great, black interior (but yours is probably a better interior color and the convertible is potentially...

I found a photo the dealer sent me pre-sale. That tube was hanging already. It wasn't the the local dealer and it likely wasn't the Cadillac dealer- they sent me pics of it.

Well, if I understand this correctly, the EVAP system keeps Gas fumes sequestered in a vacuum setup and at some point it sends it into the Intake manifold so that the gas fumes are burnt up during combustion instead of being leaked into the atmosphere. This tube (and the hole) could be the...

Well, Now, another problem... P0441 (plus check engine light) Yesterday, on my way home, the Check Engine light came on. I checked the Codes and the only one I saw with a "C" was P0441 (also had a H as well). I worked it out to the EVAP not doing a purge when requested. I cleaned my gas cap...

Good going! Of course, that means I would never have bought it! I went out of my way to get the green one.

I brought it in to David Maus Chevrolet in Sanford FL. I mention their name because although evidently they did what I asked for eventually, they took their sweet time with it while I was waiting and charged me a fair amount more than what I thought was reasonable, plus they told me the A/C...

Thanks! He quoted me $140 for it. Not cutting me a break I can see. I'm looking for a replacement. FWIW, the battery died yesterday, and the A/C had to be recharged. The local dealer said they put two pound of refrigerant in there, or at least that's what they charged me for. Now there's no...

Wow, that's very pretty!

Does anyone have an extra Fairway Green cover? I just picked up a '97 Fairway Green, missing the front license plate cover. There were only 378 made in this color. Anyone have one? Alternatively, does anyone living in a state that requires the plate have the cover they can't use? I'd like...

Yes. The underside material is dark grey, slightly grippy, but not really sticky. Certainly nothing that is going to really stick itself to the carpet, more of a material that would be hard to slide around. I have always replaced the "stock" speakers in all of my cars and I thought the Bose...

I picked it up from Toledo, OH from Taylor Cadillac on Saturday. I was working with Michael Awad, the salesperson. 1997 Used Chevrolet Corvette at Taylor Cadillac Serving Toledo, OH, IID 7450523 Overall I'm pleased with the car except for these items. If anyone can help me figure these things...

I bought it My first glimpse of the car Zoomed From the front Now I just need a front license plate cover.

Nice. He didn't like my offer. He offered only another 1k on my trade-in. Apparently Ohio does not calculate taxable value as Used car purchase price MINUS Trade-in vehicle credit. Apparently taxable value is Used car purchase price PLUS dealer fees. For that I should just sell my car...

I have all the equipment to do that- I just need the paint. How much it this part new? maybe I can find a used one :) Ok, Cool. I was worried for a moment. It looks to be in good condition. It's nice to know it is removable. I won't tell him that. I made a counter offer- lowering his...
