2011 Corvette Grand Sport - what to look for?

[zeitgeist57]

M father in law is looking at a 2011 Grand Sport convertible to replace his 2002 Z06. Very low mileage but he wants to make sure he's not buying a problem year.

 

It's got the magnetic suspension, fully loaded...very nice ride. Anything to look out for?

I thought you wrote the owners manual and did the window sticker for GM on those cars? What more do you need to know??:gabe:

2002 Z06, you say? Go onnnnn.

[Cordell]

Make sure everything is bone dry underneath, seen multiple leaking rear diffs, and steering racks. If he keeps for a while there isn't many with magnetic ride control issues, but its expensive should it need something. Other then stupid quality issues that most Vette owners point out, there isn't much bad about those. They are pretty easy to tell if they've been abused, low mileage especially.

Thanks Scott!

It has the wrong engine. Find a 427 'vert instead.

For what my FIL currently does with his Z06, the 436hp Grand Sport will be more than adequate. He's got 70k miles of DD duty less than 4 miles each way between UA and Riverside Hospital.

 

400hp in the Z06 and I think I may have been the only one to have taken it above 130mph ONCE.

Right, so find something even more grandeur. There is no such thing as excess.

 

Is he selling the '2 ?

He would trade it in to Bobby Layman, or Papaw Bill will buy it from him. Maybe I'll get the '85 Corvette Papaw's got in return

 

It's a Corvette extended family.

[POS VETT]

LOL, I'll take your Passat over the '85 ...

FIL agrees with you. He said its not worth it, even at the low low cost of FREE.

Well get it for free and I'll gib you $200, profit for you.

[POS VETT]

Cordell will soon have more vehicles than anyone here.

I bet someone on here would give more than Bobby Layman's trade in...

 

Got a price?
