I bought this Corvette to celebrate the defeat of beat cancer. I dreamed of owning a Corvette since I was 10 years old, I've experienced so much heartache, I figured, I don't have too many good years left, I might as well, give my dream a chance, ha!! no, instead it has been a night mare, it's driving me crazier than I was, about to cause me a divorce, had electrical issues since day one!! has been worked on numerous times by allen, the crook I bought it from, a private mechanic who didn't want to "get involved", a dealer in owensboro ky, who didn't want me to drive it home for safety reasons, however, that's over 2 hours from home and I had no choice, but, a true GM dealership, and 1 of the biggest GM dealerships in the area in benton ky, twice, the first time when I picked it up, I went straight to my bank ptfcu, and it died there and I had to have a wrecker take it back!! but mike reid at country Chevrolet, as well as larry stovesand in paducah ky, both, know beyond the shadow of a doubt that the car was water damage, all 3 dealers have withheld that documentation from me, but mike reid did tell my husband he came out of his office to look for himself and yes, there was water damage. However, just like everyone else, they don't want to "get involved" !! jimmy allen has caused me allot of money I didn't have because a lawyer took my money, mailed jimmy allens attorney before he did me a letter saying I no longer had representation, when allen was supposed to buy it back months ago. I had to go to chuck hutton in memphis tn, to even get a real carfax, the service dept told me they got rid of it after 1 day because of so many problems, and that it had been paid off in a settlement, twice!! the car is the devil, I'm convinced, and it's been wrecked in front left and rear left with odometer fraud.

Accident on 8/9/2008 front impact hit another vehicle in virgina, 2/2/2011 accident left side impact hit a curb, and an object. 12/15/2011 consumer bought. Found out that cooling fan has been glued, cooling fan has been wired which makes the fan to be always on, air filter missing bolts, steering wheel locks and car gives error message and then just stops, informed dealer and they stated just to double click unlock B/C is just a security issue. Car was sold with broken rack and pinion. Dealer stated that is why you bought a 18K car and not a 60K car, you get it as is. They are using a BBB award and on website they are rated and F. had one of their application processors check the car and stated everything was fine, he does not have certified mechanic license and was told that on 12/28/2011.
