Car has 56,600 original miles regardless of error on car facts.

I've seen carfax reports with obvious typos on them. Usually it's easy tell, like three mileage records in a row reading 50,000, then 153,000, then 56,000
The data they have is only as good as what the lowest common denominator shop monkey types in after all.

Yeah on my old forester the carfax claimed it had like 24k on it a few weeks after it was purchased and then went back down to a reasonable number a few months later. My parents were the original owners so I know it's just a mistake somewhere, but goddamn if carfax didn't flag the car as POSSIBLE ODOMETER FRAUD.

It can happen, the reading on my car is 26k off because some retard MOT tester couldn't read an odometer.


It rolled and went to 14k, so he put 140k on the certificate... this was before I bought it.

Actually, yes. At some point I took my lexus in for service and the technician typed in 191K miles instead of 119K miles. There is, as far as I know, no easy way to correct it and it forever says "INCORRECT MILEAGE REPORTED" on the results.

If it really has an original 5.7L/L98 engine (extremely unlikely) it might be worth something, as supposedly only about 50 (fifty) 1986 IROCs were made with that motor, and only for testing. It wasn't a regular option until '87.

So it's kind of like the no-fly list and the sex-offender registry?

Either way, that's retarded. If their whole business is selling people accurate information about cars, the should probably institute a method to fix entry errors.

When I first saw the pictures I thought the front bumper had a bra over it. Nope. Front bumper cover is missing and looks like it got broken off. ("It had a crack so we took it off. We can get a new one." Uh huh.) Lots of deep dings and scratches, too. Most of the exposed metal I saw had some rust on it; I only imagine what the frame was like.

They had to use a portable jump-starter to get it going. Engine sounded beautiful. Turn signals, tachometer, outside drivers door handle were all busted. Driver's seat in poo poo shape.

They sent me on a test drive (I had no intention of buying it going in, and less so after the initial impression) and the fucker died on me at the first light I came to. Turned the key to restart and nothing, not even a click. That was a fun experience.


But I learned that I fit in a C3! :buddy:

The Craiglist market for Corvettes seems to be somewhat more inflated down here.

But the other half of it was that this was a pretty dodgy used car lot.

I managed to find this, factor in the fact that cars are usually 1-2 more grand in Canada and it seems about right.

http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/rds/cto/1864930976.html

Most of the prices were up around 10 grand for some drat good examples, I was a bit confused and then I remembered these cars are starting to hit the magic 30 year mark and things have changed from my youth when C3s were commonly seen with stupid retarded widebody kits on them and poo poo since they were cheap as hell.

Yeah, I've seen C3s go for stupid amounts here lately. My neighbor had his 79-80 for sale. It was in really nice shape, but he had it listed for $14 500. Just parked on the street corner at a high visibility intersection. We were having beers and I told him I thought he was on glue and he'd be lucky to get anywhere near $10 for it. Max.

He had the last laugh when he came over the next day and told me he got $14000 for it.

:wtc: Isn't the 79-80 C3 basically the worst Corvette ever? I can't imagine they cost $14k brand new.

Seems like the old Z cars have shot up in price too. I remember just a few years ago it seemed like there was never one above $3000 on Craigslist, nowadays they keep getting put up for $4, $5, hell even $8000. Some guy recently put one up for $2500 and it was gone in a day.

Well yeah, but your typical Corvette buyer doesn't concern themselves with such trivialities. It just needs to have four taillights and say CORVETTE on the rear end. If I had more property and knew how to do body/paint work I'd just buy up a bunch of beater C3's and turn them for five grand profit.

I'll admit that I really like the body-style on the C3's, but there's no way I'll pay what people are asking for them these days.

The best deals I seem to be finding on Craigslist these days is from people that can't spell stuff like 'convertible' and 'ford'.

Why? If an engine is burning coolant, that's a sign of a blown headgasket, and it'd make sense to pull such an engine and open it up.

Out of everything that is retarded and wrong about that car, that tiny detail seems like it actually makes a lick of sense?
