buying a vette tomorrow....

Now you can cruise with SD in his Chev-Vette

sucks for your army friend, you're getting a hell of a deal..

my brother got his 85 for 4 grand and his was nicknamed the "ghettovette" (by me) because it only had one working (only one flipped up) headlight, faded paint, torn up interior, several computer problems that fooled the computer into thinking it was at different rpms than it was, a lemon-sized hole in the y-pipe, a bad rack and pinion that made the car nearly impossible to steer at low rpms, a top that was covered in faded blue canvas (a canvas top on a vette!) instead of a glass top, and an engine that smoked blue.

Despite all that, we have the car running relatively nice now for a little more than we have in my mustang (though mines a complete restore, he still needs to a lot on the interior and cleaning up the motor). So we consider it an average deal. These cars are a ton of fun. Beware though... corvette parts prices are quite a bit higher than those for mustangs (by quite a bit i mean 3-5 times on almost everything).

Sounds like your getting a good deal. I love my vette ('92 auto) it pretty much my daily driver even in the winter here in chicago. I havent really done any mods to it though...its hard to justify spending that kind of money on car that handles that good and is that fast from the factory.

Sounds like a good deal! Have fun!

I have 2 words for you:

Plastic Applicator

That's one of the "nicknames" for vettes
