KBB Excellent condition = $39,300 (stock car Private Sale)

OEM Upgrades =
1) Z51 Handling Package ($1,695 option) = larger cross drilled brake rotors, peformance tuned tires, stabilizer bars, springs, shocks, gear ratios)
2) 3LT Preferred Equipment Group ($5,540 option) AM/FM Stereo, 6 disk CS changer, MP3 player, Bose premium 7 speaker system, XM Satellite, Heads-up display, power telescoping steering wheel, heated seats, inside review mirror autodim and compass, driver mirror with autodimming, memory package, universal home remote, steering wheel radio controls, power convertible top
3) Two-tone seats with embroidery (titanium grey and ebony) = $695 .
MSRP on the Corvette new was $61, 265 (window sticker available)
The car presently has an LG Pro Header, high flow catalytic converter and X-pipe ($1,595 for parts alone) and Vararam Air intake ($ 399.95 parts alone). Both greatly open up the breathing of this already capable motor. I have other accessories and upgrades that add to the value – you should see the car rather than read about them here.
KBB shows the value of the car at $39,300. The intake, headers, high flow cats and X-pipe would cost you over $2,000 for the parts alone and a minimum of 12 labor hours ($60x12=$720). I am asking $39,300 OBO. $39,300 is the Kelly Blue Book value for the stock car. I would be happy to email you the input form with checked options to show how KBB values this car. If no local interest is expressed, I will put the Vette on ebay motors this week.
An enthusiast looking a great base car with great choices in non-obtrusive and reliable bolt on upgrades should take a close look.

I "had" a Garmin Nuvi 255w. I made a day trip up to Bowling Green (about 7 hours total) and had no problems with the Nuvi and the Vette. During this time I also kept the fob in my right pocket. A week or so later I noticed that the fob was pinching me so I started keeping it in my left pocket. My wife and I tried to make a short 50 mile trip. Out of 5 stops the Vette refused to start 3 times. I eventually had it towed to the dealership. The dealership couldn't reproduce the problem but handed me a copy of a bulletin (#08-08-47-001) that describes the Keyless access system in the C6 and Cadillac XLR, XLR-V.

I read the bulletin and within 15 minutes of experimentation had determined that the Garmin was the trouble maker. (No problem with the hands free bluetooth cell phone setup. Note: Bluetooth handsfree is a seperate device that hangs up on the visor).

Here's what happens...

Start your Vette.

Turn on the Garmin (the problem occurs with or without charge cable connected to lighter plug). Hang your fob between the windshield and the back of the Garmin.

After a couple of minutes or so turn off the vette and you'll see "NO FOB, OFF OR RUN?" Shut off the Vette. Now when you try to start it you'll see "FOB NOT FOUND". If you want start waving the fob around but you'll still see "FOB NOT FOUND" if you try to start it.

Take the fob and plug it into the fob glove compartment socket and you'll still see "FOB NOT FOUND".. (This really bugs me. You'd assume that a direct wired connection would overcome the interference problem, but it does not!) This plug problem is high on my list come Monday when GM and Garmin are back at work.

Now un-plug the fob and try to start the car. You'll still get the "FOB NOT FOUND" message.

Last but not least TURN OFF THE GARMIN, put the fob back into your pocket and start the car. The car will start and your on your way...

In Summary... Based on my experiences I've come to the following conclusions:

1) OnStar is a complete waste of money. Since Onstar requires a cell network your better off just using your cell phone. When I had the fob problem the Onstar wouldn't work despite the fact that I was in a cell area. I called OnStar on my cell phone and they couldn't even locate the Vette. If a Garmin Nuvi is able to disable OnStar I'd hate to see how it would work in a real accident. Also please note that the On Star folks don't know squat, including their roadside assistance buddies. I mentioned that the doors were locked and we couldn't exit the vehicle. (I'd forgotten about the manual door release on the floors that I read about a few weeks earlier). They suggested that I read my owners manual. The next day after I had already re-read the owners manual the Onstar lady calls me at home and starts reading me the information from the owners manual that I had already read. I basically said she was a day late. I need that nugget of information yesterday when I was stuck in the Vette.

2) Talking to "most" dealerships will get you information such as: "Well we really don't know alot about vettes, since we only sell one or two a year.. After about 5 phone calls I finally managed to find a dealership in N. Alabama that had a tech that actually knew how to work on a vette.

3) My GM expert assigned to my case has been of little or no help. Technically and otherwise.

4) And finally... GM needs to fix the fob plug-in as far as it being able to overcome interference. This should be a 100% reliable always works solution to the "FOB NOT FOUND" problem.

PS: I reproduced this problem with both fob's numerous times....]]> http://www.newenglandcorvettecouncil.org/forum/topic.php?post=779#post779 http://www.newenglandcorvettecouncil.org/forum/post.php?topic=262&quotepost=779 Sun, 23 Nov 2008 17:20:54 GMT http://www.newenglandcorvettecouncil.org/forum/topic.php?post=779#post779 www.snopes.com/politics/traffic/massrenewal.asp or by going directly to the Registry of Motor Vehicles website.

Please help spread the word to your friends who live and drive in Massachsetts.
