Corvette - 13 Feb 2005 17:12 GMT

My wife and avid Corvette lover passed away giving birth to our new son last
month. I now have one extra car, and even though I'd love to keep the vette,
the realist in me knows better.

So I have a low mileage Black 2000 C5,
24000 miles,
6 speed,
Light oak interior,
Magnesium upgrade wheels,
Glass roof,
Z51 suspension kit,
Heads Up Display,
Memory package,
Dual zone climate control,
Sport bucket seats.

Car is 100% stock except for the CAGS skipshift.

This car is garage kept and is my baby and I wash and wax her regularly.

The only problems are:
OEM tires will need replacing fairly soon,
The seat memory system doesn't always work.

All the factory recalls have been done including the column lock.

I have less than two years left on my lease and my leasing company says that
my lease is assumable.

So if you want to get into this car for a commitment of less than two years
for $586 per month email me at 2000corvette@austin.rr.com

Car is located in Austin, Texas

I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine anything more crushing than
the loss of a spouse, especially in childbirth.

My best,

First, that is a heartbreaker. My sympathy. I can't even imagine....

Am I understanding that you want nothing other than someone to take over the
lease?

Yes that's correct.

The buyout price from the leasing company is too high (~$32K) but on the
flipside, someone could get into the C5 for 19 months and then give the keys
back if they wanted. The option to buy price then is $19,825.

Especially when dealers had 2004 end of year deals in the mid $30's. The
tire replacement is another $1400 - $1800. Compounding that is that the
Kelley on the car right now isn't a lot more than the buyout in 19 months.
I'm usually pretty good at finding a way out of a maze, but I think this one
has me stumped.

Rack.com. (Not runflat)

Sorry for your loss.
