Default Selling the Vette!!!

I'm going through some tough times right now and don't really want to get into the specifics........but I need to sell the Vette.

If your interested or know someone that is, I can PM you all the mods. Here is a quick rundown

Its got a built top-end, stock bottom end.
Heads and Cam
Full exhaust
5 point roll cage, harness
Adjustable 200hp Wet plate nitrous kit
Built rear end
Carbon fiber DS
Mcleod clutch
custom nitrous panel
Wideband commander
fuel pressure, nitrous pressure, wideband piller gauges
Lots more......

As you all know, its a 10 second car......I'm just an 11 second driver. I'm going to throw in all the stock parts I have for it, the factory and after market wheels. I also have a C5 floor speaker box for a 12" woofer I'm throwing in. I'm tossing in ALL the parts I have in my garage!!!

The car has just a hair over 80,000 on it but was rebuilt with new rings, etc. about 30,000 ago. Its a 2000 C5 Couple with the removable top. It has no problems and runs great. I haven't had a problem...

I'd like to see $30,000 for it but think that is unreasonable. So I think $25,000 will do, but I'm willing to negotiate. I need the money pretty badly and need to get rid of it fairly quickly. I'm going to post on autotrader, in the local kraigslist, etc. Very soon. So if you guys no of some serious interests....please let me know asap.

I'm really sad to see this car go, but its just a car.

Please PM me, e-mail me at jonathan.carlson-02@mcchord.af.mil or crlsnjnthn@yahoo.com, or call my cell 253-304-0122

Yes, I'm home. I need to sell the car to take care of some financial issues.

The car has to go.

I'm really sorry to hear this Jon! I wish I could buy it off of you.

Maybe try that place in Kirkland, Park Place. I'm not sure how they do business, but I do know that they buy the nice cars like that.

Damn that sucks Jon. You finally got where you wanted with it too. As far as quick sell options you might try Kompact Kar Korner in Lynnwood.
