Vehicle Description
??? Carma Certified — 90-Point Inspection | Quality Plus Protection Included
Proudly serving customers with over 22,000 vehicles sold.
??? 2005 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe — Le Mans Blue Metallic on Black Leather | 65,302 miles
The C6 Corvette that started it all — 6.0L V8, 400 horsepower, rear-wheel drive, and a shape that still turns heads two decades later. This one's finished in the genuine factory Le Mans Blue Metallic over black leather, and comes equipped with navigation and a backup camera. It also just came out of a substantial recon round covering brakes, suspension, and steering — details below, because this is one where we think you should see the whole picture.
? What You're Actually Getting
• Carma 90-point inspection — road tested, inspected, and serviced before it ever hits the lot.
• Quality Plus Auto Protection Plan (DOWC Level 1) — engine, transmission, and drivetrain coverage included at full out-the-door price. Details below.
• 5-Year Maintenance Plan — a $2,500 value, 25 discounted oil changes plus additional service discounts, included at full price.
• 15 documented service records — consistent Chevrolet dealer and independent shop maintenance across all three owners.
• Full Carma pre-delivery service — completed at Duluth Auto Service & Imports: brake rotor(s) and front/rear brake pads replaced (typical retail value ~$700–$1,200), front and rear shock absorbers replaced (typical retail value ~$1,200–$2,600), left and right tie rod ends replaced (typical retail value ~$250–$550), cabin air filter replaced (typical retail value ~$30–$60), and oil and filter changed (typical retail value ~$60–$120).
• CARFAX: no title brands of any kind — clean on salvage, rebuilt, flood, hail, and lemon history, with no odometer issues indicated.
• Total documented recent investment: approximately $2,240–$4,530 — typical retail value for the recent brake, suspension, and steering work above.
?? Real Value
We checked pricing against broader market data for comparable 2005 Corvettes, which runs roughly $17,000–$26,000 depending on condition and mileage, averaging around $22,000. Given the history disclosed below, a figure toward the lower end of that range is the honest starting point until the open recall is addressed. Market pricing can shift, and we're always happy to pull a current pricing report on request. Price is only what you pay — value is what you get.
?? Features & Specs
• 6.0L V8 engine, 400 horsepower
• 4-speed automatic transmission
• Rear-wheel drive
• Navigation system
• Backup camera

?? Vehicle History (Full Transparency)
This Corvette has had three personal owners (the first as a personal lease) across Illinois, Florida, Maryland, and New York. Two history events are worth walking through directly. On 09/29/2009, CARFAX reports an accident with another vehicle involving damage to the front; the vehicle remained functional and airbags did not deploy. More recently, on 03/30/2026, CARFAX reports a separate minor damage event affecting the right front, right rear, right side, and undercarriage. Neither event involved structural damage or airbag deployment. We'll note plainly: the recent pre-delivery work at our shop included replacing both tie rod ends and all four shock absorbers — components that can be affected by exactly this kind of impact — though CARFAX does not explicitly document these repairs as connected to the March 2026 event, so we're not asserting that they are. Title and odometer history show no brands of any kind. Given both history events and the scope of the recent suspension and steering work, we strongly recommend a pre-purchase inspection before finalizing your purchase.
We're happy to accommodate a pre-purchase inspection at a Carma-verified shop, on-site or within a 10-mile radius, once terms are agreed upon. |
