Try looking at autotrader.com. Expand your search all around the country, and you'll find a ton... if I were looking, I'd be willing to fly out and pick up a car just about anywhere if it's the perfect car.

well, i am kinda burnt out on driving distances (since i just moved up here)

wanted something local.. seattle or portland

i thought i'd find enough here... but it doesn't seem so.
in the classifieds on sunday, there wasn't a single corvette listed

i've yet to go around to dealerships, but everything seems higher than what i'm used to pricewise.

Thumbs up

Get ahold of Kurtis Tamez at Automax USA in Yakima. His user name on here and CZ28 is KTamez.

Might be able to help you locate one at a reasonable cost!

Try looking at the chevy dealership in Sandy. They sell a lot of vettes there and can get you what you want as well, used. I told them what I was looking for and 2 weeks later they had it on a trade in. Bought it the very next day after they were done detailing it. Is my current SS. Bought it 1 yr old 20k on it, immaculate condition. Paid 23,900. They gave me 16,500 on a trade for my 97 Tahoe w/60k on it. this was year 2000 of course, but they're a powerhouse dealership. Check em out.

You don't sound too picky and just want a vette. So here's a snapshot of what is within a 200mi radius of Seattle on autotrader http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/search...98101&x=39&y=9

My neighbor is getting ready to head down to Florida to pick up a few at auction. The last one he had was a 97 with 45k miles in really good shape with some nice extras sold it for 18.5 I think. The prices for vettes are inflated up here, although if you wait there are some good ad deals, Russ chevrolet had a 99 FRC for 22 last year I missed buying it by 1 hour....

Prices are way higher up here on all cars. Vettes are not a big volume. If you can provide me with some better parameters I can locate it.
