If your looking for a C6 and can go a little higher on your budget this is the car. I promise you its better taking car of then the Vettes at the Bowling Green Museum.

This is easy . Real easy . C6 . And for some reason. I dont recall it coming up , which to choose?
Low mile first year 6th gen ?
Higher mileage 3rd ,5th year gen 6 but not beat ?
Choose the 2nd. Unless its a steal .
If you can swing a c6 z06 live the dream
10k mile early c5 or 60k mile c5 z06 , z06
Of course how much sun its seen salt air its seen (gm does not prep steel bolts that go into aluminum)
Ideally you would find your perfect car in northern georgia. Or seattle. But prob wont.
Been in your shoes be patient and you will be merry
drove a gran sport for 5 years and only lost $200 in depreciation.and was very dependable

Thanks much and those are both beautiful....but I need a modern one with AC for the summertime! . Good luck with those!

I went from being in my truck for 2 and a half to three hours a day and burning almost two tanks of diesel a week to now (for the last year) burning a tank a month. I've put 4,000 miles on my truck in the last year. I figure that I should get something that will be fun to drive to the golf course or the tennis club. Waiting on some pictures of SS930's Dads C5 car. If we can get it together, I will buy that and see if I like it. I can always get a newer, more expensive one later...

He starts it and takes it for short rides here and there, but other than that it's hardly ever driven. I believe it has 31k babied miles on it, never beaten on! The car is 100% stock to the best of my knowledge.

He mentioned to me the other day that it's time for it to go to a home where someone else will enjoy the car more than he does these days. If you're interested, shoot me a reasonable offer, I'm sure he'd sell it for below book value. The car is in CT, but I will be going down to FL at the end of April with an empty truck.
So, I bought a Vette from Scot's Dad sight unseen and it's getting loaded on a truck to head south tomorrow afternoon.

I've seen two pictures of it and know that it has a 6-speed and a black interior. That's about it..........I hope I like it!!! LOL
