Welcome from Belleville. I used to live in Canton. Hey the Mustangs are nice, but a pushrod LS engine just has something about it !!! You could drop in a LS engine into the Mustang, it would be cheaper than a Vette. LOL Have you checked out Les Stanford Chevy yet, they have many Vette's.

I see you said you really WANT a Vette but you cant afford one. WRONG! You can afford a Vette! Your max of 12500 -13k for a trans am is clearly in Vette range give or take a few extra hundered dollars! They are getting real cheap these days with this bad economy! There are many floating around for a good price. Just depends on how patient you can be. Check these links out i posted for a couple of examples...

90k miles only wants 12500 OBO AND LOCATED IN MICHIGAN!!! If you want a Vette this is excellent, right in your price range, under 100k and its local!

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-c...-12-500-a.html

45k miles! wants only 13,000 OBO!

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-c...miles-13k.html

74,000 miles! wants only 13,200

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-c...-13-900-a.html

12,000 OBO! I know you said less than 100k miles but this isnt a bad price! These motors will last forever so dont think that more than 100k miles are alot on a ls1! There are many ppl buying Vettes with 160k plus! Just depends how well they are maintained

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-c...12-000obo.html

This one had a couple of problems but still not a bad price for a frc Vette

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-c...-13-100-a.html

Here's the main link with Vettes for sale if you want to keep an eye out on it

Hit me back for anything else or if you have any questions. Goodluck

O yea sure no problem! Anytime! Yea the Vettes are alot cheaper than ppl think. I like the trans Am also. those are nice cars. Ever wanna go for a ride in the Vette let me know. Which ever car you decide to get, are you only interested in manuals, autos or it doesn't matter?

Funny story.. I never in my life drove a manual before i got my Vette. I was messing up big time lol but eventually caught on and learn and taught myself within a few days! Still didnt completely get the whole concept and ill say i was pretty efficient at it in like 2 weeks. I'm sure it wouldve been much quicker if i had pointers or someone actually teaching me but i did and learned EVERY single thing myself lol.
