Default looking at these vettes for sale

looking at 3, 1st 99 silver vert with black top(new top) 6 speed,leather,corsar exhaust, CAI, c5 crome rims, 110k miles, wants 16k
2nd, 99 FRC, 77k 6 speed crome c5 rims, black with black leather, all stock, 18k
3rd, 99 FRC 85k black 6 speed, leather, c5 zo6 crome rims, slp loudmouth catback, CAI, tints 18k

all of these cars are in great condition i'm a little confused the miles kinda scare me but people that usually own vettes take good care of them, there all price pretty low below KBB as not everyone goes by that especially the vert its almost at 21k on KBB let me know what you guys think thanks!

I dont know the miles are pretty high on all of them. With higher milegae cars theres alot of stuff that brakes or needs replacing. Thats just my thought though.

I would go with the 2nd. You know the car is more likely to be driven hard if its modded.

Agreed with up top, and besides, you'll appreciate your Vette that much more if you've modded her yourself

I've always been in love with Verts, I suppose since the car I learned to drive on was a 02 vert but hmm... The miles are somewhat high, but I've got a 98 120k mile fbody with no more issues than my buddys 02 with 60k so you may have to judge it yourself.

FRC's are nice too, and buy the non modded one if you have the choice. Just my personal opinions though

Definitely the 2nd one. Best mileage and still bone stock. Not that I would rule out a modded car, but I like doing all the mods myself.

Im not a converable fan myself...IMO the second one sound best....like others said it will be driven harder if modded, also If my car is modded I want ti know that I am the one that did it so I know everything that is done to it and that it is done right.
