I've found a few localish ones from anywhere from $9500-$11k, but I didn't pull the trigger due to major accidents in the past, losts of cosmetic issues to address, or the owner was an east sider of Des Moines and was just a retard in general who couldn't keep his stories straight.

If I were to look for a C5, I'd much more prefer an 01-04 model for their fuel system

I think he was talking a base C5.

It's just time for me to move on to a C6 or CTS V2. Went 11's with only bolt ons, it should be low 11's now. Best trap has been 123 in Florida air with a **** 60 foot. I think I remember aren't you in Florida as well? I'm in Gainesville
Yea I am also in FL.

I'm sure he meant base C5, and even then I'd be a bit leary of one for too cheap. 14k for a C5Z in even just decent condition is a killer deal.

I am still a few months from buying, no bargaining chips yet but I'll keep you in mind as well lol.

That isn't a very nice nickname to call your kids. Maybe time for a DD and then the race car?

I know right? You should see how they look at me when I toss a handful of corn feed at them.

My heap is a good DD... just time for a race car... if I remove my wipers only on sundays that may keep it real for a while.

Yeah I realize now. Yeah, C5 prices have held steady for a while now. You would be hard pressed to find one around here in good shape for less than 12 grand at the least. And even then it will have high mileage.

******' Mustang coupes pieces of **** why do I even like them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUNK!

Had to get that out of my system. My sub box is just baaaarely too big to fit in my trunk. Had to order a new one that's slightly shorter but wider. I LOVE having a fox body coupe with a trunk the size of a damn glove box.
