I love your inspection videos.

I wish I had done more due diligence before buying my C5. But that's fine as I do enjoy the car.
Due to the concerns I believe this'll be a much shorter ownership than I had initially planned.
I hope others take the time to do more research into a car before purchasing. The information is out there and if something seems off it is of course better to walk away. 😅😊

I like when you can inspect the car before its detailed so you can really see how it was treated, or in this case neglected. That is not the usual case especially since they knew you were coming to inspect. This is possibly a lazy or just greedy dealer. Good video. Love the shirt!

I appreciate the fact you helped a fellow corvette enthusiasts to pursue his dream

[dadanderic]

Great video! Helpful for letting people know what to look for and deciding if it is worth pursuing. Also useful during negotiations on the price. One point for looking at a convertible if excessive wind noise can be heard. Might indicate potential water entry when driven in the rain or washing.

Great video. I have to opportunity to purchase some C6 Grand Sport shocks for my 01 base C5. They have 3K miles on them. The guy said they are an upgrade. He said the rears are made specifically for the grand sport. Do you tho think this is a good option.

Can you please help me i need the rear right fender for this exact car

[ronjeyer]

Did you get a payment from if so what was total, I don't think it was completed properly

Thanks for the video. I know someone who recently purchased a Honda Element and told them to make sure to inspect the undercarriage as there’s a problem rust by the trailing arm and in fact there’s a recall in Canada. Unfortunately they didn’t listen and had to engage an attorney to recoup their money as the vehicle failed inspection as it is completely rotted underneath. I think no matter the brand or area of the country that is a must especially with all the rain that we’re experiencing. Thanks again for the video.

One major problem I seen !!! Damn Automatic!!!

[richardmorris]

I'd expect a car like that to be fairly detailed, this car was neglected a little bit, someone couldn't afford a proper battery plus there should be zero rust on anything. If I can keep something like that garaged don't buy it. I've seen perfect examples low mileage for 35-40.

The 1st thing that would have put me off from a distance is the non-factory grand sport rims. Those are the early year c6 zo6 wheels that must have been painted black or aftermarket black replicas.

I would never buy a used Corvette from a dealer, I buy from friends or cars I know. Between my buddy his dad and I we own 12 Corvettes so we just trade between ourselves. Most Corvette guys really don’t drive there cars much and they trade up frequently, so mint low milage cars are always available you just have to wait and be ready with the money.

[choward]

Sounds like that guy found a better car. I wouldn't have bought that car anyway even if the dealer wanted to fix the stuff.

Hi Toys4Life C5, I love your content! I'm interested in discussing a potential collaboration. Could you let me know the best way to reach you? Thanks!😊

Funny how this weekend as you were doing the video (it's now Monday morning and I just watched the video) I had a Carfax email listing newly posted Corvettes for sale in my area. One of the cars that caught my attention happens to be a 2012 C6 Grand Sport in what is now my favorite color, yellow. My C5 Z06 is Millenium Yellow. Just reading the report and looking at the 27 photos provided it looked to be a very nice GS. With 41, 217 miles and asking price of "only" $29, 995, $2, 875 below Carfax value of $32, 870. Further it is with a "Branded Title" or simply put a Salvage Title Issued. Service history, battery recently replaced at 41, 230 miles. Notice a mileage difference here? Damage report states that the right front and undercarriage had been damaged. Insurance wrote it off as a total loss due to the amount $$ of repairs. The GS started in Georigia made it's way to Ohio, then various locations in California and now is in Portland, Oregon. Scanning thru the photos I see a Double Din replacing the Factory unit. And more such as rear tailights have been replaced with after market ones as well what looks to be after market rear exhaust upgrade- if you will. It has the HUD, which I insist on having in my car selection. Your video and what you discussed is the very reason why we, as buyer's, need to be very selective in how we look at purchasing a car, any car. You did a great video piece and I thank you for giving us tools to help us in our car buying search. Am I looking to buy the GS? Only if my lottery numbers come thru giving me the money to insure that I can afford to make any repairs or changes to this car. Otherwise I am very happy with my C5 Z06 and in a week I am taking my wife on a 900 mile roundtrip to attend our 50th HS Class Reunion. I like to say this about Corvettes- Drive. Smile. Wave.
