Default should I buy this Corvette

an IL Pontiac dealer is trying to sell me a:

2004 corvette a4
40,000 miles
gunmetal silver

KBB=$27,900
this dealer asking price=$22,900

dealer said if I buy this weekend, he will sell the car out the door for $20,000 (tax, everything). Set up my first payment to be 60days out, and let me take the car home for a night to test it out before purchase... The car is clean too... no damage, no accident history. well maintained.

the deal seems too good, not sure if the dealer is trying to clear off their lot, since pontiac no longer exists or what...

Now the issue, currently I have a one car garage that my camaro is in, and the house I am building (4 car garage wont be finished until this winter) not sure I want the vette parked outside for 7 months.. or more..

So how many of you park your vettes/f-bodies outside???

Now you want to be a vette owner? Pshhh, damn vette owners







J/K, any pics of the vette and the price sounds ok I would try for lower.

Good luck

NOT buying the vette.

the corvette was going to be for the gf, but she wants a c6 more then a c5 so we are passing on this one. She impressed me though, she noticed fiberglass damage on the door that I didnt catch. LOL The dealer stated they would fix it, but she doesnt want a used car that needs to be fixed.

Default My brother is selling a 2005...

BLK/Blk
M6
35?k mi.
New LS7 clutch

I believe the only option is the Chrome wheels

Gorgeous car with clean carfax and no issues
STOCK.
He brought it to the track one time so we could race as I couldn't hook on the street with all seasons.

His car went a best of 12.55@115. That was the night he found out how much clutches cost... (Last fall and it sat 'till a few weeks ago when he had the new clutch put in)

It doesn't even have a lid... Go figure.

He'd take a quarter...

For financing try both Baxter and Consumer's Credit Unions...

I just got a 5.4%/60mos. loan on a 2003 Mitsu Evo (172/month) from www.BCU.org

Talk to a guy named Eric.

If you need a Carfax--- I have the ability...

LMKII

Ps... Ever run a crap-*** 4 banger from a dig ON THE STREET???
How's that new rearend?
