I like everything that I can see about that car clear down to the EBAY front plate.....

But.... what about you?

Is the milage where you want it?
Is the price reasonable for the age of the car?
Have you made an offer???

Happy Hunting Mark!!!

The milage seems about right for a 1999, a little more then we want but it's not bad.  I've been looking at a lot of C5's and the price also seems about average for a Vette that age.  I havn't made an offer to them yet but sure did send them a ton of questions.
 
Has anyone else noticed anything about this Vette?

Is this a better buy for about $1000 more?  This 03 has about the same miles but is 4 years newer and closer.  I could actually fly down and drive this one back over the 4th of July weekend.
 
 
I'd really rather have a Black Vert since I already have a Black Coupe. But, I'd also like a 50th Annversary to go with my 25th Anniversary.

Hay Mark that Black 2003 looks real good. The only thing I could see is the front seats have the normal leather wrinkles and slight faded wear on the lower sections, nothing some nice seat covers couldn't cure. You might be able to bargain a little on this one.

Mark, Have you checked out www.collectorcartraderonline.com ? This is a pretty good site, you can search for exactly what you are looking for and by location.

Well the search is over, I lost the fight Confused  I'm happy for her, she ended up with a much better car for the price actually.  All that really matters is that shes happy with the car, its going to be her daily driver anyways so a Vette probably wasn't our best bet.  Here's what Pam got.

Well with gas prices and being a daily driver it's not that bad of a choice. At least it's in the same family as a Vette.Thumbs%20Up
