1998 Chevrolet Corvette

I am selling this great condition '98 Corvette Z01 6-Speed 5. 7 Liter LS1 . mileage will go up about 30 to 40 per day as I drive it daily to work. etc.
I park it undercover at work and at home so is does not have dirt in the sills and seams. It is fully optioned for the year (HUD option was not available in 98. only in 99 or 2000)Happy to drive it anywhere if gas & deposit is payed and you get my flight back (but if I were you. I'd go for the opposite for the thrill. she is reliable as a hammer so will drive across America with no mechanical issues)
I need to mention. these are very economical. this is the same price to run as my 2. 5L Subaru and only about 5% more per week than my old Honda S2000 and that was only 2L.
Comes with CarFax check showing when I bought it and some of the work done shows too. and I will give all receipts I have for the approx $6k maintenance & improvement work I carried out immediately after purchasing.
THIS CAR TOOK ME MONTHS TO FIND ONCE THAT WAS NOT A PIECE OF CRAP IN THE FLESH. nbsp;I EVEN TEST DROVE ONE WITH ONLY 38k MILES THAT HAD THE COMMON 'WOBBLY HARMONIC BALANCER' ISSUE. BUT THIS ONE DOESN'T WOBBLE AT ALL
IT OWES ME ALMOST $19K BECAUSE I BOTHERED TO SPEND MONEY IN AREAS WHERE SOME PEOPLE WOULDN'T. LIKE HANDLING. I AM ONLY SELLING BECAUSE I NEED TO MOVE NORTH WHERE IT SNOWS; AND VERY LIGHT. RWD CARS ARE NO GOOD ON ICY ROADS. PLEASE DON'T SEND ME INSULTING LOW-BALL CASH OFFERS AS IT IS ALREADY A BARGAIN SINCE I'VE ONLY DRIVEN IT 6. 00MILES SINCE BUYING IT IN APRIL.
THE SWAP LIST IS BELOW AS FOLLOWS (I will obviously pay cash difference if the swap car is worth more):
-Audi RS4 6 Speed Manual -Subaru Non-Turbo Wagon. 5 Speed or preferably 6 Speed-Any STI Subaru Sedan or Hatch with 6 Speed  Manual Trans only. e. g. Subaru Forester. Subaru OutBack. Subaru Impreza (Manual Trans Only)-Mitsubishi Lanser Evolution with 5 or 6 speed manual-Toyota FJ Cruiser with 6 Speed Manual only-Any 4WD Honda as long as it has a manual transmission
. SO PLEASE DON'T OFFER TO SWAP A MOTORBIKE OR A RWD TRUCK OR SOMETHING I CAN'T USE ON ICY ROADS
(I will never be interested in a car or SUV with an Automatic Transmission. I detest Auto's & I think they should be outlawed)(I will happily pay the difference for a car that is worth more than the $15. 5K Valuation of the Vette) 
Please note: I have priced for a quick sale to give me time to find something else 4WD if I don't swap. so I'd rather not have to haggle.
This car purrs. The exhaust note is sweet with a nice low rumble down low and a mean growl higher up.  I think it's an after-market titanium exhaust as the pipes look wider underneath and the tailpipes also look wider than other C5 Vette's I see around.
It also has a high-flow K&N air filer which has been washed and re-oiled. It has vented cross-drilled & slotted disk rotors all round so brakes stop on a dime.
Besides other preventative maintenance and tweaks. I decided to spend about $3. 00 at my local Corvette shop just after purchasing to do jobs like the following to ensure the steering is tight with no play at all:-Two new sets of keys and alarm/keyless-entry/trunk remotes-Fully re-conditioned steering rack-new tie-rod ends-Convertible top is brand new. It is a quality double-skin top. -new improved metal sway-bar drop-links (originals are plastic)-New NGK Iridium IX plugs & MSD Ignition Leads-New factory replacement mats with embroidered logos (old ones are still good. to use on rainy days)
Other improvements I spent another $2. 00 on include:-Brand new Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 all round on Sept 23rd ; 245/45/17 front & 275/40/18 rear-4 wheel alignment on 23 Sept-4 new TPMS sensors-New belts. serpentine pulley. tensioner. water-pump. thermostat. pressure cap. plugs. & leads as phased/preventative maintenance.  -newly re-fitted all-grey seats:---had the anti-rocking mod done to the driver seat so it does not rock (common fault) ---all the air-bag seat adjuster's (side-paddles. lumbar and tilting) work perfectly with no air-pocket leaks-I upgraded one of the headlights cogs to brass to try it out. but the driver side still has the original nylon one (I'd recommend the next owner do the other side also as the factory ones are apparently crap since they are only nylon/plastic)-I fitted a CAGS skip-shift-eliminator so the annoying factory 1st to 4th shift solenoid is disabled. so you can actually drive it like a proper manual gearbox instead of being forced into 4th gear from 1st when driving below 3. 00rpm (Emissions control for CA)
Overall. this is much better condition inside and out than most of the Vettes I looked at for $16K to $18k when I was looking for one to own for summer that were 99 to 01 ; Older but with all the usual gremlins ironed out . it's just a plain good deal especially with the $6. 00+ I spent to make sure it was back to it's optimum operation.
The Engine and Transmission fluids were changed at 90. 00 but they did not even need doing as both were clean looking. At the moment. the computer says there is 40% time left on the oil before next change is required.  
I will be selling with the BlueTooth converter for the stereo but not the dash-cam.  The original Bose system sounds great. the bass is punchy with no pops/distortion.
I welcome any mechanical checks or any questions you have.  (I have a Corvette specialist near my house if you want to pay for a full mechanical appraisal before buying. Called MVP German Auto & Corvette. they did all the maintenance work too )
