Default I think im going to buy this....

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/car/287129935.html

i really like this vette. Originally i set out to find a zo6 but i prefer the looks of the coupe so much more. And i think with them money ill save between asking price and insurance will make me happy by means of mods. I dont think i need the z06's other 40 horsepower for 8K more. I can find a z06 under 30k and i think ill offer these guys 20k and i think theyll take it. But i have yet to call and im wondering about the mileage.....any thought? by the way anyone know what kind of work went into the susension? i love how low that sucker sits i dont think ive ever seen a vette that low and i love it! even those wheels look better.

yea i just called them again i had to wait till the sales guy was back the first guy only knew the miles and said to call back. It has a 2,000 watt stereo system and its a custom bushing/bolt replacement kit ( as opposed to a cut stock piece im assuming), short throw shifter but they just installed it today its not in the pictures. I guess the salesman knew the guy that had this car personally and he got into some trouble and had to sell it to the lot. And on top of that, come to find out, my aunt knows the owner of the car lot very well. Getting this car for $18,000 out the door thank you!! But i still need that co-signer. I need to get a hold of my sister. But i want to register it in my dads name so does he have to be on the contract? He was just put on disability hes already transfered evrything he owns out of his name. hes allowed to have one car so he said he wants to put this in his name for insurance purposes. But i dont want his help with the actual loan becuase then hell say its his like he does with my trans am. Hell drive it whenever he wants and i dont want to worry about it. one day i woke up to find the front of my trans am like this


notice all the curb rash? he felt so bad he offered to repaint the whole car. I still have to collect on that one once it gets out of winter storage. So yea i think im going to go ahead and buy it. Hes also giving me a free 100,000 mile warranty and im trying to get him to install a pioneer avic-d2 but if he says no ill have to get it myself.
