2007 Chevrolet Corvette: 2007 Z06 Corvette I just bought a 2007 Lemans Blue Z06. This is my 11th Corvette to date. In additiona I've owned Porsches and a Ferrari. In the past it was a good car for the price and a great performance car but it had a lot of rough edges that the Porsche had worked out a long time ago. But this car changes all of that. Compared to the Z06 the Ferrari has a kit car feel to it. The Porsche is a refined car but it has a chick's car feel compared to the Z06. The Z06 is a guy's car. It is brutally fast, excellent handling but in addition it now has great ride quality and is very comfortable on a long trip. The fit and finish are excellent as are the ergonomics. The Corvette has finally grown up. This car does not need the excuse "for its price" any longer. In fact it makes the other cars seem way overpriced for what you get. It gives you 99 percent of the performance of a Ford GT for way less than half the price. It gives you everything the Ferrari and Porsche have to offer and then some for a fraction of the price as well. I am always looking for excuses to go for a drive. I'm glad that I bought it instead of leasing it. I plan on putting a lot of miles on this car. I am a little nervous about the carbon fiber fenders but they are available from any GM dealer in the country for less than half the cost of the same parts for an exotic car. Aside from the visceral enjoyment I get from driving it the electronics are a real kick. The head up display is awesome. After driving the Z06 I really miss it in my other cars. The keyless start and security systems also has a very high "cool factor" If you have the remte in your pocket the car unlocks as you walk up to it. When you get in you just push one button and the car cranks and starts automatically. The voice activated navigation system works much better than I thought it would. Overall I have to rate this as a... must buy. I only have two minor problems with the Z06. One is that the roof panel is not removable and the second is that it has really spoiled me. It has set the bar so high that it is going to take something pretty spectacular to impress me. Source: eBay Motors Reviews |

I decided to buy this vehicle becaused I assumed it was a reputable dealer. The car had been in an accident and was not disclosed by Southtowne hyundai. Not only did they not tell me about the previous collision damage, it was not repaired completely. The cosmetic bodywork was completed, but there was mechanical damage. The front-end was pushed into the engine, radiator fan, and bent the crankshaft pulley which caused misalignment of the fan belt, which caused the fan belt to fail after about a 150 miles of use. While the car was at the dealership getting the belt replaced the mechanic noticed this mechanical damage. I then contacted Southtowne Hyundai and they would not accept responsibility for the previous damage. Do not buy from this dealer! Source: eBay Motors Reviews |

I purchased this vehicle without first seeing it. A leap of faith to be sure. I was not disappointed with the purchase. Steve is good to deal with both prior and since the sale and was honest in stating the condition of the vehicle. There was no problems with delivery and I'm sure I will enjoy the car for years to come. The car is 35 years old and quite the looker with the fresh paint, interior and wire spoke wheels. Like any old car there is always the oportunity to tinker with things as they break. This is something I enjoy doing in my spare time. The car will be used for a pleasure cruiser by myself and my wife. Source: eBay Motors Reviews |
