Why do we present our cars with models?
Because it's fun and it gets your attention.
After all, this is Las Vegas. What more could you expect?
Let's be clear, the models pictured with the
vehicles are paid for the express purpose of showing off and
presenting the vehicles.
They are not included with the sale of the
vehicles or available to go with them at any point during
the presentation online.
In other words, Models Not Included
But included with this sale, the winning
bidder that does complete the transaction will receive all
digital photographs of the vehicle and the models if they
want them.
We

courteously.
Thanks,

Before you send me an
email asking me for my "best price, bottom-line or asking
price" let me just make a suggestion based on 36 years of
buying and selling experiences. Deals are made through
conversations, not texting, not emailing or conversations
without even knowing who or what you are talking to, they
happen through personal
contact. I
want my my clients to know who they are trying to make a
deal with. I want to know their real intent to buy also.
This equation does not exist with "What's your best price?"
and no personal contact. I have gone to great lengths to
find this incredible vehicle, make sure it's the best it can
be for you and present it in a way that no other seller does
online. I do that so we can talk, make a clear deal, fair
for both sides and watch a happy buyer enjoy their new ride.
If you just don't have the gumption to make contact and you
just want an idea of price, look at what the market values
posted above say, they are fairly accurate on AVERAGE
vehicles across the US. If you think this vehicle is
average, above or below, bid accordingly or. . . pick up the
phone and have a pleasant conversation with a real
enthusiast that can make your deal on the spot. Keeping it
real.
Let's make a deal...Call
me

Backstory
from the owner...
You are
looking for the finest, best maintained Corvette
Z06 you can find. You are here because the
excellence found in your neck of the woods, by
any measure, is a joke. I know exactly how
you feel. I attend specialty and
dealer-only auctions every week searching for
the best of the best in what I call "niche
autos." I scan lists of over 3,000
vehicles locally each week and select cars I've
come to know are hard to find and that fit my
business model of marketing exclusively on eBay.
C5 Corvettes make it onto my own list every time
they show up but just a tiny fraction actually
turn out to be worthy my money. During the
past 13 years I've seen 100 or more Corvettes
every single year and what that means for you
is; I have looked at, touched, smelled and
walked away from a lot of Corvettes.
I am extremely picky about what to buy and
this
Z06 is one of a precious handful nice enough to
justify buying. Past ownership, service
history and condition, condition, condition
are what matters. High performance
vehicles are not always treated well, but a
precious few are
taken care of and given proper respect.
Beautiful paint, spectacular interior, service
history and an absolute knock-out to see in
person - as good as my pictures are, they can't
possibly convey the awesome visual impact this
car has in real life. What else could you
want? A great deal? I have that
covered too but you will not be
purchasing this fine automobile for wholesale or
even low book value. You already know you
get what you pay for and if you want true
excellence, service quality and exceptional
condition, this Corvette Z06 represents an
extremely rare opportunity. Read what we
have to say, examine every picture in detail,
see the amazing quality up close and personal
and then make your call and give me an offer.
I promise, you will not be disappointed.

Since 2011, I have probably owned at
least 30 C5 Chevrolet Corvette Z06s. All of them have
been spectacular and a few of them have been like this
one, super low miles and like buying a new car
practically. The exterior, stunningly beautiful original
paint, the interior, almost like it rolled out of the
factory and performance, unquestionably perfect. This
car is all that and in a very right color for the
menacing 405HP rocket. Then couple all of that and see
that is comes with brand new tires, crossed drilled and
slotted rotors and the dark tint...this car is almost as sexy as my
model. So if you are looking for the best, this is where
the buck stops. If you are just looking because I posted
a model bent over the hood, I get it. Just be respectful
and don't bother asking if she comes with the car.
Any Corvette Z06 is an iconic car just
as it is, but certain Z06s have presence that defines
them from the rest. When I go out, the go to car of
choice is always a Z06 if I have one in inventory. You
can hear it coming and when she rolls up, especially in
Las Vegas, you get attention. Now I am not saying you
have to be an "Attention Junkie" to own this car, I just
saying you will get it and it's fun too.
A bit about the condition. First, it is in
stunning condition with only the extreme slightest wear. No wreck history, no damage anywhere
you look. The interior is stunning almost like brand new and
the driver's seat is not worn or sunk down at all. The front
bumper is nearly spotless. I took close up pictures to see.
Overall appearance in and out is as good as it gets for a 13
year old Z06. The car is detailed from top to bottom. This
car is flawlessly functional and you will not need to spend
money on tires, brakes or noticeable repairs.
If you're reading this, no doubt
you've seen the many low mileage C5 Z06 Corvettes on
eBay, maybe not this low but low. Even less are in the
condition you see here. The car needs nothing. All this
Corvette Z06 needs is a buyer who wants the best 2003
Millennium Yellow 50th Anniversary Z06.
Introduced with much fanfare in 2001,
model year 2002 brought 20 more ponies to the screaming LS6
and 2003 became the 50th Anniversary for Corvette.
Modest though the increase may be, buyers today of course,
prefer their front fender badge to say "405 HP" verses the
previous year's "385." This car has everything
premium buyers demand; exquisite body and paint, showroom
fresh interior and functional perfection.
Among the fastest cars in the world at the
time, this bone stock Z06 can still click off mid 12 second
quarter mile passes today. The rush to 150 MPH happens
in 24 seconds and top speed is two miles-per-hour shy of a
buck-seventy. The Z06 is also one of the few cars in
the world capable of generating 1.0g lateral acceleration .
. .
C5 'Vettes were top world class performers
when new and even today, an '00 Corvette can generate over
.90g on a skid pad and rip to 60 mph in 5 seconds.
Stand on it in every gear and 170 mph is yours in seconds .
. .Great original paint and
factory panel alignment and seams are superb on this
no-hit/no accident gem . . .
Great interior that looks, feels and
smells almost like brand new.
After driving literally hundreds of C5
Corvettes, I can tell you they are nearly bullet proof.
The few with miles this low and this well taken care of
however, are in a class all their own. The Bose audio
sounds killer, the air conditioner blows cold and the sport
seats are awesome. Superb condition inside and out,
everything works, nothing is broken. Just get in and
enjoy . . .
5.7 Liter LS6 V8
405+ horsepower @ 6,000/400 ft-lb
torque @ 4,800 RPM
If you haven't seen under a Corvette
before, this is what should help you make a buying decision
for this car!
Clean, dry and beautiful, like a brand new
car . . .
Factory flawless undercarriage with
full dual exhaust (and cross-over) . . .
Brakes pads are great
Nice to see
the upgrade on the slotted and cross drilled rotors too.

Original owner books.
A note from the owner.
I am a “used car dealer” but before that,
I’m an automobile enthusiast. I love original rare and
high quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade
I’ve been in business, have come to appreciate an expanding
selection of high-demand, high value vehicles. I
specialize in and am always on the lookout for cars and
trucks that were cherished by their previous owners. I
have an experienced eye for quality but I’ve discovered that
my preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and
I have therefore, built my business and reputation around
finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer.
Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict
requirements but a car must do something for me on a
personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the
bidder, that this is an above average, exceptional
vehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it
probably won’t do much for you either and I would soon be
out of business.
With just four employees and no sales
people, I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may
at first glance appear. It has taken great care and
effort to create such an organization and often, an
unusually high investment in a particular car we are about
to list. To sell the best it is critical to have a
trusted expert in my corner and Chris, owner of
A-Best Auto Repair
in Henderson, Nevada has my back. He and his crew can
fix
anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute
most expensive exotic you can name, no job is too big and no
small detail unimportant. They do an exhaustive 130
point inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing
escapes their methodical investigation. Experience has
shown that everything I spend making a car truly “right”
will come back to me not only with a higher selling price,
but a happy customer that says good things about me.
Moreover; it allows my writer to describe the car with ease
and confidence, something that simply is not possible unless
he thinks it is true. If major issues are found or
the cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too
expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply
absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it
at auction.
After the vehicle is fully sorted it
arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious
eye of Tom, my writer that creates the presentations you see
on eBay. He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone
else tells him about the car as he combs over every inch,
researches its history and documents originality and
authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special
features, possible modifications and much more are used to
accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty.
Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150
high resolution pictures that I take myself. The
pricey equipment I use would be right at home in the hands
of the very best professional photographers and I’ve
developed a logical format that walks you around the entire
vehicle with close-up shots of every square inch. I
provide detailed views of the interior, under the hood and
then put it on a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm
that the beauty of the car you are considering is not merely
skin deep. Even our detailers are enthusiastic about
the cars they so meticulously clean. This
reconditioning can sometimes take several days and I’ve
converted a paint booth, especially prepared for the
professional clay bar and polishing each car lovingly
receives.
Usually, I’ll also include a high
definition video that shows the car doing its thing.
If it’s a fast car, we film it going fast. If it’s a
4x4 you’ll see it crawling up a hill. In every case
you will hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound
system and watch the temperature fall on a digital, laser
thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent. How
many “dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a
buck-eighty? We
do.
No “dealer,” on-line or in the real
world, takes it to this level. No other seller or
organization provides you, the buyer, with so much
information. I do this because it is the only way I
can convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch
or feel their purchase, that my vehicle is for real and what
I say is the truth. All the above is necessary for me
to stay in business while keeping integrity intact. I
want every buyer to be happy and I need glowing
feedback on eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied
customers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I was
when I bought it.
If you have any questions at all, please
call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry
is sincere and your offer serious, you’ll find me the
most accommodating business partner you’ve ever dealt with.
If you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my
bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the
conversation. Until you are ready to actually pull the
trigger, I will happily quote you the absolute highest
nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a
number we both know will not buy the car so, don’t waste
your time, or mine. I am after all, a “used car
dealer.”
Serious buyers know the maximum they can
offer. I then must simply decide if I can sell for
that number.
If you hit the reserve, the decision is no
longer mine. I must sell at that number.
OFFERS GET MY ATTENTION: 702-353-7500 or
Doug@vivalasvegasautos.com
If you want to make a deal,
pick up the phone and talk a serious
offer.
702-353-7500
I don't respond to emails
asking for "bottom line, sale price, reserve, or Buy-it-Now"
figures on top line cars.
THE ONLY WAY YOU GET THOSE
FIGURES IS TO CALL ME!
The book values posted below are relevant to "real" selling
figures.
NADA & KBB wouldn't be
in business if their values were not real but their figures
are averaged for the entire nation. If this car is
less than or better than this average, bid or offer
accordingly.
Please
ask about our service programs and pricing.
