By now you know that the all-new Corvette C7 is the most amazing Corvette of all. And while theyre still flying out of showrooms with giant sticker pricesand#44; the smart money is buying something like this 2014 Corvette Stingrayand#44; which has a slick look and a long list of optionsand#44; all at a significant discount. Hard to resistand#44; isnt it? Black with red stripesand#44; including the rookie hash marks on the front fenderand#44; make this into a Corvette that gets noticed. Its got 17and#44;917 miles on the clock todayand#44; but you wouldnt know it by looking at it. The black paint is deep and glossyand#44; the red stripes look like they were scorched into the paint with a laserand#44; and fit and finish are the best theyve ever been in a Vette. As with most newer carsand#44; the highest praise we can offer is that its pretty much as new. Its got a few signs of having been drivenand#44; mostly down under the nose where you cant even see themand#44; but you wont find any serious marks anywhere on this car. It was always garaged and it was washed and waxed frequentlyand#44; which is the life of most Corvettes: a pampered toy. I have to admit that the new styling has grown on meand#44; and there are many little details that are extremely well doneand#44; including the little stingray emblems on the front fenders and the lip spoiler out back. Its enough to get noticedand#44; but not excessive. The interior has been seriously revamped and upgraded as welland#44; so all those snotty car magazine guys who complained about earlier Corvettes can go jump in a lake. The deep leather seats are augmented with grippy alacantara inserts and white stitchingand#44; so it looks upscale and works extremely well to hold you in place. This car is loaded with just about everything they could throw into a Corvetteand#44; including the usual power accessoriesand#44; a navigation systemand#44; and fully automatic climate control. Theres a state-of-the-art entertainment system with satellite radio and Bluetooth connectivityand#44; and that angular piece of aluminum slashing through the interior console just looks industrial strength. The auxiliary gauges are real gaugesand#44; but the center gauge is a video screen that can be reconfigured to show you just about any critical informationand#44; and like earlier carsand#44; theres a cool animation when you key it up. Also like earlier carsand#44; theres a fairly large trunk compartment with a built-in cover and provision for stowing the removable hardtop. The 6.2-liter V8 got a host of upgrades for the Stingrayand#44; and now makes 455 horsepower (remember when you had to pony up an extra $20and#44;000 to get the optional LT5 and just 405 horsepower?). Performance is remarkableand#44; especially at this priceand#44; yet its totally docile and easy to drive. Hit the button and it starts instantly and idles smoothly. The 6-speed automatic shifts quicker than youand#44; even on your best dayand#44; and the suspension is compliant yet ready for a track day. Its really a car that can do it all. And while the C7 is still youngand#44; theres a booming aftermarket working on getting new stuff for it all the timeand#44; yet this one remains 100% stock. Thats exactly how you want your lightly used Vette to beand#44; ensuring that it hasnt been abused. This one is wears optional chrome wheels and red painted brake calipersand#44; which look awesomeand#44; and its sitting on staggered 245/35/19 front and 285/30/20 rear Michelin performance radials. Read the reviewsand#44; the C7 really is as amazing as it seems. This one is available at a discount and includes a window sticker and manualsand#44; so its just like new. Call today! |
