2002 Chevrolet Corvette

• Magnetic red metallic paint shows a deep, even gloss from every angle in the showroom, with no dents, chips or panel damage visible.
• The pop-up headlights are shown both down and lit, and the front bumper and hood fit look clean.
• Polished five-spoke wheels show no curb damage in the close-ups, and the tires have visible tread.
• Photos with the targa top removed show black leather seats that look smooth and untorn from a distance.
• The rear hatch opens to a black-carpeted cargo area with a cargo shade, and the owner's manual and keys are photographed in the trunk.
• One frame in the set is a dealer ad card, not a photo of the car.
• No engine bay, underside, dashboard close-up or odometer photos are in the set, so the engine, floors and mileage reading can't be judged from the photos.

Money: At $22,900 the money buys a very clean-looking red C5 coupe on exterior and trunk evidence, with little to budget for cosmetics, but the engine bay and underside are never shown and that is the unjudged risk that matters at this price.
