Default Looking for a Z06

What's up- Pretty much what the title says. I am looking into buying a Corvette Z06, 2002-2004 area. I currently am Military over in IRAQ, and will be back in the mid August area, with some money to spend. I have no car on a payment plan, this will be my first car where I will have a payment, so I have some room to work with. I plan on getting an Auto loan from the Bank, and using about $10,000 as a down payment. I am near Little Rock, AR. Anyone have any advice, or know where I should look into.
Thanks-

No advice but when you are ready to buy in August..prices will be going down because of the weather an 07Z06s coming out. I would bet you could get a low mileage car for $30k then.

Keep your head down and good luck.

Thanks for the support. I was planning on the prices dropping, cause of the season and all the stuff you said. 10k deposit will help out..

Appreciate it. Thanks for all your guy's support for all of us over here.
THE PLAN JUST GOT THE GO AHEAD...I got one of the hardest parts checked out already. I got the Insurance quote. Some of you are going to ****, I know people with Hondas that pay more.
This is my situation:
22 yrs old, single
2004 Corvette Z06 Full Coverage (just for quote purposes)
This is what I got:
$187/ month, and that still has my Caddy on it.
I have some nice room to work with as far as the Car payment...

Depending on mileage and year, you are looking at $28-34K. Corvetteforum is a good source, but places like Carmax and other dealers will have them too.

That's what I was expecting, given the season, and like someone said earlier, the 07 models coming out.
