I'm not exactly sure where La Farge is but If you can search autotrader and such and if you find a clean car why not have it shipped to you. I drove 1 and 1/2 hours to pick up mine. If I didn't get this one I would have had a 01 Z06 that I loved shipped to me from Texas. It would of cost me $750 to have it shipped. Check the vehicle classifieds on this site. A sponsor on this site LSX transport is a good person to get a quote from. Good Luck!

Dude, I drove over 300 miles each way to purchase my Corvette (Arkansas to Iowa) and it took me 5 months to find the perfect one... I never look back on all that driving, the only thing I lost was a whole Saturday and I get to look at it everyday now..

Offer them 18K or walk away. The C5 market is in the ******* at the moment yet owners think they're still worth a lot. We have 05's with 30K miles going for 28K in phoenix.

Thats the price i was thinking also. It is winter here so i should be able to get an even better deal because its not like theres gonna be that much of an interest here right now for a corvette. I`m waiting to hear back from the dealer tommorow because i was pretty thourough in letting him know what i would pay and what there was no way in hell i was gonna pay. we`ll be it out tommorow well, today now.

drivetrain is exactly the same, you won't notice a speed difference at all between your car and the vette. Buy it if you like it, but the C5s are just a delux f-body; that cost too much money. Good luck though, and the price is pretty low for the milage.

You've never driven a vette have you. The F-body is a POS compared to the corvette.

Now don't get me wrong. I LOVE my SS but it doesn't hold a candle to my C6 or C5 for that matter.

You guys brought up a lot of good points. I`m gonna keep my TA work on it, then when i get more money i`ll just go out and get a ZO6 and still keep the TA. Thanks again for all the helpful info you may have just saved me from making a big mistake i may have regretted in long run.

i can get z06 vettes 01-02 for 20-24k all day long many colors keep looking thats a rip, and the bay area prices are high where most other places there lower but yes a vette is def an upgrade i would do it!

I don't understand how he can say he won't see a speed difference. Lighter, Better Aero. My old 99 Coupe went 13.3@106 with an auto. My 02 SS went 13.6@104 with an auto. There is a performance difference and above 100mph it really becomes exploited.
Now don't get me wrong. I LOVE my SS but it doesn't hold a candle to my C6 or C5 for that matter.

Just bad luck on your SS because my 00 WS6 has beaten my friends 99 C5 everytime we pull. 13.6 sounds like you got a dud LS1, no offense. Besides the weight theres absolutely no difference in the cars. Maybe the ooo ahh factor from the people that don't know a peach from an apple, other than that their way overpriced for an LS1.
But props for the ohh awe factor for people that don't know a peach from an apple
And FYI my 98 ws6 M6 pulls my 02 vette A4 everytime. Does not mean my ws6 is a better car.
