Lightbulb Car Shopping - Looking For...

As you may know, I sold the 99 Hugger SS yesterday. We are also selling a silver LX/SE 2005 Honda Civic 2-door 5-spd if anyone is interested. Only has 5K miles on it, asking payoff ($15.3K).

Then we will be looking for one of these vehicles:

2001-2003 Corvette Z06. Less than 30K miles. Must be electron blue, red, or silver (in that order). Priced $25-30K range.

2001-2002 Firehawk or WS6 convertible. 6-speed only. Less than 30K miles. Must be Sunset Orange, Silver, or Navy Blue, in that order. Might consider red or black.

2005 GTO, dark navy blue, 6-speed only, LS2.

If anyone knows of vehicles like this for sale, please email me some pics, specs, and pricing. tony@ls1tech.com

Thanks!

I already looked at both of those GTOs. Not interested in black, and the blue one looked like crap for the low mileage. It had paint scuffs all over it, like someone's kid hit it with their bike. Mirror was scuffed, bumper, hood, etc..

some people just don't know how to take care of cars.

Garret, that first one was funny when someone posted the link to what he paid for it a couple months ago. Washington DC is too far to buy a car though.

Where did you find the ads to the 2nd one? Any pics posted?
