GM extends warranty coverage for C7 Z06

GM issued a document to dealers this week indicating it had implemented the new extended warranty coverage on 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 model year C7 Corvette Z06 models. The document says these vehicles “may have a condition where the vehicle may overheat and enter a reduced power mode when driven on a track at sustained high speeds in high ambient temperatures.”

The special coverage looks to address this issue and “covers the condition described above for a period of 7 years or 72,000 miles, which occurs first, from the date the vehicle was original placed in service, regardless of ownership.” The document also indicates that vehicle owners or lessees who paid for repairs referenced in this special coverage warranty are eligible for reimbursement.

Weekly Special

2017 Grand Sport Convertible Collector Edition

1 Of 935, and only 15k Miles!

What Mike Likes about this Corvette:
“Here we have a very rare (1 of only 935) and desirable Collector’s Edition Grand Sport Convertible in a stunning color combination of (appropriately named) Watkins Glen Gray with Tension Blue racing stripes, hash marks and interior.

Of all the Grand Sports that have been introduced over the years, i think this C.E. makes quite a statement and then some! Possibly like no other before it! Aggressive in looks and performance, with a large dash of flair thrown in for good measure!

This is actually the only ’17 C.E. G.S. we’ve had. That will tell you right there how uncommon they are.

And on a related subject, what a surge we have seen in the price structure of the latest C7 Corvette values! The price escalation of the new mid-engine C8 Corvette has helped spiral upward the value of Corvettes last generation of front engine examples. This particular Collector’s Edition was actually a trade-in on one of our pre-production C8 Convertibles.

Don’t miss an opportunity to put this one under your tree!“

Comic of the Week

Some Random Thoughts

Apparently, one in five people in the world are Chinese. And there are five people in my family, so it must be one of them. It’s either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother, Colin. Or my younger brother, Ho-Chan-Chu. But I think it’s Colin.

Nothing in life is fun for the whole family. There are no massage parlors with ice cream and free jewelry.

My doctor told me that jogging could add years to my life. I think he was right. I feel ten years older already.
