Oh its def. a blessing, me and parents prayed about it Sun before i was gonna get it on Monday

And 1.5hrs before i go to pick it up friend calls me with the tranny problem, so i fight that sign and become stubborn and say Ill still get it

God said....."Oh yehhhh.....BAM.......try and get it now with no car to get"



Ill find the right one, doesnt have to be a Vette, and insurance was cheap too, i couldnt believe it.....128 a month full coverage....thought it would be alot more

Thanks for the comments

There are people on this site selling modded vette's for cheaper than that broken vette.

Makes no sense what-so-ever to purchase that car.

That sucks.

I just scanned the for sale section real quick and saw a twin turbo one for 20k and a few other clean ones for around 16k.
