Makes sense if they can back up those prices with a quality vehicle. Then it's worth it. I guess.

I just bought my Z28 fully loaded from a local dealaership for 20K but it only had 3K miles on it.

Can someone expand on this? I was more under the impression that the changes were fairly straight forward, are there possible problems on the changes??

I dont think it would be that hard I bought my c5 coupe back in october for 25 and have since seen plenty of deals that seem in the same range and a few less. Mine had exhaust, but not z51 and only 12,800 miles on just take your time and search well. the 01's had the some problem as the the majority meaning column lock, battery issues, something with the door, squeaks etc etc etc and maybe some other fault codes but I have had no problems and neither did the previous owner.
