On the right hand side of your climate controls there should be a OPEN and CLOSE button for the top. You have to make sure there is nothing in the trunk that will impair the top from folding all the way down into the trunk. And you have to make sure the "flap" is in place in the trunk or the top won't work.

Whoever sold you the car didn't explain any of this stuff?

Good Luck

I think it is something we are doing. The truck is empty and we are holding the button down for 25 sec's. The button blinks red? Is there a problem?

I just got a SC 430 and I can't figure out how to drop the convertible top?

I've noticed that quite a few members here have owned or currently own a Vette. I did have an '87 at one time that was a lot of fun to drive in the summers (Chicago).

I've always admired the 97+ for their performance but didn't want to spend the money as I wasn't interested in the depreciation. This morning a guy put an ad on Craigslist and he lives less than 2 miles from my house.

It's a 1999 Red Corvette with black leather, 6 speed, 44,000 miles. He bought it with 7k miles on it. Adult owner, garaged, no accidents or paintwork, all stock except for 2000 chrome wheels. New Goodyear run flats. Heads up display also. It has some paint chips on the front but otherwise clean according to the owner. I'm going to see it later today. The one thing I am not sure on is if it is a removeable hardtop or not. That was a great plus on my '87, almost made it feel like a convertible.

The price: $16,000 firm.

I searched Autotrader and couldn't find a deal even close to this. Seems crazy to me that he would garage it this winter and then sell it now for that price? I love the idea of driving and enjoying it for a year or two, and selling it for nearly the same price. I don't see it depreciating too quickly because the older models are holding at a slightly lower level.

I've heard that this generation can have electrical problems? The owner said he replaced the alternator but that was it. Anything else I should look out for besides typical inspections checks?

Just wanted to hear advice and opinions from anyone. Thanks!
