Default good deal?

I found a 99 Frc vette 6spd 50K miles and is pewter in color has a clean title but needs some minor repairs for $10,500.

the repairs are needs a new quarter panel and slave cyl and some other minor stuff under the hood needs to put back together. he said he was going to do some **** to the motor but now wants the car gone.

how good of deal is this?

sounds good, depending on title status. is it salvage? what happened to the 1/4 panel? a C5 with 50k miles should be around $18-20k unless the value has really droppped out.

That seems really cheep to me, you may want a mechanic to look at it first to make sure there is not more wrong with the car then the seller is telling you.

that is a good price man . i would for sure take a close look at it and run the vin just to see what the history is . then check the frame out underneath just to make sure nothing was done off the books .
some say that you get what you pay for or if it is too good to be true but it is not unheard of to find a good deal every now and then .
