Telescoping Wheel and other features by sullyak
Feb 01, 2007 (7:54 pm)

I am looking to buy a 2005-2007 coupe. I would prefer a used with a telescoping wheel if possible. I know that for 2007 that you need to get the 3LT package. Is this the same for 2005-2007? Also, can anyone comment on the "improved noise insulation" for 2007? Is it significant? And finally, is the magnetic ride control make a big difference with regards to smoothness of the ride.
Thanks.

I have now driven my 2007 just over 4,400 miles.
 
For both the 2006 & 2007, the 3LT option package is the only way to order the telescoping steering column. ( And HUD. )
 
Comparing my 2 test drives in 2006s, my perception is that the “"improved noise insulation" for 2007” is not significant – meaning if you could still find a new 2006 on a dealer lot ( still many available now ) with exactly the equipment & colors you want, I’d not consider that a deciding factor. ( Other factors, including the extended powertrain warrantee, but #1 was definitely the fact that there was a full year of production & “in-service” on the 6L80 transmission – I had no interest in being a GM Beta Tester for this trans. )
 
No experience with the MagRide – never driven one.
[[ edit: I have driven the Caddy STS version - just not a C6 with this susp. ]]
 
Good luck!
- Ray
Happy 2007 driver . . .

I'm considering the purchase of a 2005 corvette coupe. I am new to buying a GM product. I had assumed that I could purchase an extended warranty up until the time that the factory warranty expired similar to toyota, honda... From the email above it appears that this is not the case. Can anyone elaborate.
Thanks

I know if you are original owner you can purchase or add to
extended warranty up to the point where original runs out.
What happens when it is used car, you better check with
expert. If you have free LD on a cell, try the GMPP expert
at Fichtner Chev in Laurel, MT., can't put in name here but
they will know if you ask. I got GMPP on both an 02 and 04
from them and have been very happy.

I'm guessing that this vehicle is somewhere where you don't have easy access to inspect it?

First..invest the dime on a Carfax report..assuming the seller has no hesitations on informing you the VIN...if he/she does...take yourself and someone close to you out for a meal with the $35 saved.
 
If the Carfax report is acceptable, talk further with the seller..and make sure the title is in his/her name and possession. If the seller/owner passes your phone impressions, invest the airfare and take a look..hopefully some place you wouldn't mind a weekend getaway to. You may want to contact a Chevy dealer in that area ahead of time to schedule a hour or so of inspection.
