@longhair164 – Hi, really like your car or should I say my wife wants it! Do you have any pictures of the car when or after it was damaged in an accident? Do you have any idea what the real mileage is? Do you know who did the repairs?, they may know the mileage or have pictures of the vehicle damage before being repaired. Thanks John ...
Thanks John. Your wife has excellent taste! It’s a beautiful example of a C5 Corvette. The damage report on the Carfax is from 2019 so I don’t have any pictures. I can tell you that the damage is classified as ‘minor’ and that can be something as small as a buffable scratch or cracked taillight. The car exibits zero indication of any extensive body work in the area indicated. My assumption is that it was super minor. It shouldn’t be a concern. As for the mileage discrepancy. The clean Massachusetts title I have is from 11/19/24 and at that date, the car had 83,417 actual miles showing on the odometer. Then on 1/10/25 the mileage noted on the odometer is 75,870. I can only assume that sometime between the two dates, the cluster must have gone bad and was replaced with a used one with one at the mileage as close as they could find. It’s just about a 6K mile difference only. We purchased the car at auction so was unable to speak to the last owner to verify anything. The car was so clean and so obviously well loved, I bought it with confidence. The reserve is below the current market value for these cars so it’s set to sell accordingly. It’s a fantastic car. You’d swear it was a 3 or 4 year old car. Hard to believe it’s almost an antique! Good luck and feel free to reach out again. Thank you.
