Zora Arkus Duntov, nicknamed “Father of the Corvette”, once said that red is the only color for Corvettes, all other colors are a mistake. Well, this one comes dressed in Riverside Red (paint code 923) with Ebony interior.
The car is being sold for its owner on consignment (flat fee, not a percentage) by John Haigler at Haigler Motors, 13190 Hwy 155 South, Tyler, TX 75703. I’ve driven the car and found that it starts readily, idles smoothly, runs well (good power), shifts positively, brakes feel good, front end is aligned, recently tuned up, and brakes redone (stops in a straight line)

Please call or text before coming out since I don’t keep regular hours (generally here Tuesday thru Sunday 8am-5pm). You’re welcome to call or text 24/7, whenever convenient for you. Should you need financing, please arrange through your bank/credit union as I am unable to provide in-house financing. If you currently do not have a banking relationship, you may check with Altra Federal Credit Union here in Tyler. You’re welcome to also check out United Heritage Credit Union in Tyler. They both offer great rates and terms! Thanks for your consideration.
Also, if you need assistance in selling your vehicle, I offer a consignment service on a flat fee basis (no sale, no fee charged). Quite a few of my customers utilize the service for the following reasons:
1. Avoid having to deal with countless phone calls, texts, or emails from the public
2. Title paperwork is handled by a licensed Texas Motor Vehicle dealer (especially when a lien is in effect on your vehicle or the buyer needs financing)
3. Making certain that you are paid the correct amount in a timely manner (there are a multitude of scams in the marketplace which can be difficult to detect)
4. Advertising – handled for you in a manner that draws maximum number of interested parties
5. Test drives are always accompanied, never alone (copy of driver’s license and insurance is required). Personal safety can be an issue when test driving with an unknown person. Interested persons are instructed on how to make the test drive without damaging your vehicle (e. g. no jack rabbit starts, no high speed, no rapid acceleration before the engine warms up, no test drives for “under 18 years”, etc)
6. Professional presentation (objections handled) of your vehicle to show its best traits
7. Time savings for the seller – I’m available to show your vehicle by appointmen
