I totally agree with this. Don't get impatient just because you're not finding what you want. I did this and suffered (relative term ha ha) with the wrong car for 3 years. The car you want is out there.

I just bought a 2001 Z28 (m6) with 40k miles for $9200. I live in Vermont, car was in Florida... I NEVER would have found that kind of deal near me. Some times it's well worth looking nationwide, you never know what you'll find. Just ask lots of questions and ask for lots of hi-res pics, if anything looks wrong... keep looking. But most importantly be patient, too many guys jump on the first thing that comes along and then regret it. Make sure your happy with the car before you hand over your hard earned $$$.

well i'd take a serious look at the red one in georgia. low miles and he says price is negotiable. i'm going to mid-america motorplex tonight to watch the drags. chances are someone might have something for sale, i'll keep an eye out.

Ok, so you're looking for a Z28...LS1...M6...with low miles...for the right price...near Beatrice, NE? Have you ever considered that maybe you're just not going to be able to have ALL 6 of those things? Maybe you'll have to settle for just 5 of those things? Nothing against Beatrice, NE, I'm sure I'd rather live there than Chicago (honest) but if you're gonna live in one of the few places in the United States that's far away from EVERYTHING, it's probably safe to assume that an LS1 M6 Z28 with low miles for the right price is also going to be far away. Not being a dick, just trying to bring a new perspective to your search.

True... I live in Vermont, but I've never bought a car in VT. I've traveled anywhere from 100 to 1600 miles to find the right car, but it was always worth it.

Nah man, i totally understand. I have a few dealers here in town looking for me. But if i had to pick 5 of those things, i'd take the A4.

Check out this one, it's up in Lincoln.

I like the 2nd personally. I like silver and the rims are nice, but idk if you want those with the salt on the roads come this winter. Of course you could get a 2nd set like i did.

I think we all would. I'd like to work him down to about 11,000. It's valued at like not even 10k on KBB but i know he has some things on it.
