[QUOTE=kkfinch]..  What do you see wrong with the carpet in the rear...I don't see anything...

[/QUOTE]
 
Me either. C4 carpeting isn't known for its quality, but those pics don't show anything unusual.

Joel's keen eyes aren't deceiving him.... The carpet is up, loose, and wavy accrose the rear panel. I don't know about the 96 but the 84 - 94 cars had access doors on each side. One was to the braking system (FX3 - F45, etc). The other side was a storage compartment. Maybe our frigid feller from the north (Terry) will help us out here with some 96 knowledge in this area. It is also noticable that carpet is loose on the rear wheelwells. Either a sign of wear or excess cleaning. Either way it should be tighter. All minor stuff but gives a history of the cars care.

Karen,
I sent Porter Auto Group a message in your behalf seeking additional information on the C5.

"Can you provide me with detail envolving around the flood damage / when , where, level of submersion (if any). What is the current title type of car (passenger, salvage, other)?
How many previous owners has the car had? Has the car been involved in an accident(s)? If yes what was the monetary value of the accident and please elaborate as to the work done on repair? where is the car currently located? Can it be arranged to have the the car be viewed, driven, and mechanically / cosmetically inspected by a representative or myself personally?
Can you provide the previous owners name and phone number. I would like to ask them questions about the cars history.
Are there any other known or existing conditions other that those listed that need to be made aware of that have occured after this item was posted on EBAY?

Thanks....."

By the way I am still searching for the Z06 for your hubby so don't think for a minute I have given up on him... I know we can work this 2 vette transgression thing out if we all try......

Ps... I still have his number....

Welcome to '96 C4 carpeting. The carpet in loose because it was never down to begin with. No glue, no screws. That's just the way it is, draped over the fender well.
 
There is a hinged access door behind the driver but it is screwed down up front. No storage and no latch.

Thnxz Kevin... I guess I never noticed this before. I had a friend who had a Pewter 96 Collector but I can't say I ever looked in the back of it. I've had 84, 88, 89, & 94 C4's but only the 84 & 94 had rear carpet issues. They were that way when I purchased the car and I knew this to be issues to resolve. Their issues were primarily from age & lack of former care.

It is really no big deal it's one of those bartering tools at purchase and one of "I wanna correct later" things.

Good information to salt back for future review if I ever purchase a 96......

Oh yah, I forgot about that... doh A Z06 though...that's some serious $$$$$!!!!

I sent a few questions to the seller of that C5, too.  Haven't heard anything yet.  I noticed that the bids are rolling in, though.  I think I'd have to see it  (and smell it) myself.

Oh My Goodness ! That is vera nice, I must say. Were there only such a thing as a Fairy God Mother. I am sooooo envious of your hubby. I have never had the wifes blessing to go shopping for a vette, they just came to us Wink. Kick ass Karen! That is such a beautiful thing Cry.

Too much money for the miles. I looked in a local publication today and found 3 each in the 25K milage area for less than $28,000. 2 were black and 1 yellow. All with the limited production black / red interior.

I never have had much luck with Craigs List Vettes I think everyone advertises and adds their own Corvette Tax to the sale cost.....

Let's keep looking that sweet deal is out there.....
