If you're willing to travel you can find some good deals. My area is pretty high.

If you were seriously thinking about two, check with your insurance company. Insurance for an occasional use car is WAY cheaper than insurance for a daily driver.

I paid $12,500 for my car with 56k on it and I think it was worth it. It wasn't molested like the majority of F-Bodies for sale. All it had done was an SS hood, short stick, and the electronic cutout. The car is in great condition. It just needs to have the hood and bumper repainted eventually but I'm not in a hurry or anything. I'm just doing little mods here and there and enjoying the experience.

Yugos & Le Cars are losing their value too, but they didn't have much value to begin with.......at least our cars have some value.

Well yeah, that's always something to think about. But, I bought it from a member on here so that is a little more reassuring, there wasn't much done to it when I bought it, and the guy I bought it from was recommended from a buddy of mine in NJ that I have met a couple times and have known for a while from another forum. At least I'm not BLKWS.6 and claim to have bought it from an old guy that never beat on it and yet it's breaking down more and more every day.

Much love, BLK.
