2005 Machine Silver Z51 m6 interior package 45k miles $22000
This is a 1 owner, low mileage car. I ordered the car from Talty Chevrolet in Morris, IL. Since 2011, the car and I now live in Sparks, NV.
Adult owned and driven it's entire life, always garaged, never driven in snow and never abused or involved in an accident.
The car is fully optioned and everything runs and works as when purchased. The only modification made was the installation of a kit that bypasses the 'Computer Aided Gear Selection' feature, which forced the driver to shift from 1st to 4th gear if certain driving conditions were not met. This is a small wiring harness kit that can be as easy to remove as it was to install.
Note - The subscriptions have long expired for the XM Radio and the OnStar phone, but they worked perfectly until that time.
The Z51 Performance package includes Performance Tuned: Larger Cross Drilled Brake rotors, Stabilizer Bars, Springs, Shocks and Gear Ratios.
The Preferred Equipment group option includes the Heads-Up display, Homelink transmitter, Auto Dimming ISRV and drivers side OSRV mirrors, Bose 7 speaker system with AM/FM/CD stereo, Updated the original Navigation DVD with a GM p/n 20980238, Version 7.00 in 2010, 2 driver seat memory positions.
Replaced the worn out OEM Goodyear F1's with Firestone's Firehawk Wide Oval Run Flat tires from Tire Rack in August 2007 with 21,560 miles on the car. The Firestone's are wearing evenly and have no less than 5/32" tread remaining.
Replaced battery with a Diehard Gold in 2011.
Included with the car is the original window sticker, misc. promotional flyers, soft cloth indoor full car cover, Colgan custom black auto bra, plus some additional odds 'n ends thrown in.

Bump!
Side note on my car's listing - I put the car on eBay last week, with a reserve, and had a local car dealer PM me after the auction ended. I called him and he asked if I knew why my car didn't sell. I said no, and he said because the front bumper has been repainted based on a picture I had in the listing??? I politely told him that was not true, but he stuck with his theory, basically calling me a liar! The only paint job this car has seen was the replacement removable hardtop after a recall for a potential problem with a poor glue job required it to be replaced. Just in case anyone saw my listing.

Don't believe me? List it for $1,000.... It will sell within minutes. List it for $50,000.... It will never sell..... It's always what the BUYER thinks is fair, not the seller. This is something sellers on this forum FAIL to realize and their cars are on here for MONTHS and never sell and their ads fall by the wayside. Way too many cars on here are overpriced. I am NOT saying yours is.

IMHO, if your car didn't sell as quickly as expected it is ALWAYS the price!

Thanks Paul. I did some fairly extensive research prior to posting my car here, and on eBay, and found the listing price to be toward the low end of the range very similar cars sold for. The information you provided also gives me some additional confidence that my car is not over priced.
One other data point I'd like to add, is that I had the local CarMax lot appraise my car a couple weeks ago. They offered to buy it for $20,500.

New batch of photos taken by my son with his professional grade digital cam. I hope you like them. The reserve has been lowered to $20,000.

Forgot to update the most recent Diehard Gold battery replacement was just last week. The old one from 2011 died.
