How's it going everyone. Looking to buy a M6 C5 but I'm on a budget. Absolute most I can spend is $10k. I'm in Northern CA so would perfer something local. Willing to have one shipped but then I would need to buy for less because of 3rd party inspection and shipping costs. I'm looking for a daily driver that is mechanically sound. Cosmetic issues don't matter. I realize with my budget I'm not going to get a low mileage stunner but need the car to be well running with no mechanical issues and must have manual trans. Thanks!

Nice man I appreciate the help however all those are automatic. I'm looking for a 6 speed.

Get an auto for now then unload it in how ever many months and get your stick. In AZ prices are dropping but I can't find the exact one I want. Fortunately for me my budget is more than yours and I can hold out until I find what I want. Good luck on your search.

Oh you can also try auto tempest dot com. That is a nationwide search that will search CL, Fleabay and other sites for you. I used that when I was looking for my Grand National.

I'll try auto tempest. I want a 87 GN one day too haha. I won't buy an auto for now. I would rather just buy once. I work 12 hour shifts so not a lot of free time to buy and sell a car. Need to make every minute count I guess.

SS_TOR

Still looking. Anybody?

I do hope you are a mechanic. You'll probably need to be with a $10k Corvette, unless it has a salvage title (although that doesn't have to mean it isn't in excellent mechanical shape).

SS_TOR

nope not a mechanic. know a lot of good ones though. I've seen decent C5s go for 10 and under so I don't think it's too far . I'm not opposed to a salvaged title one either as long as the frame is straight.

time4aCorvette

I second that



Good Luck with your search,

Save up another 3.5-4K and you can buy a Z06 (if you are ok with a hard top). I see them all the time asking 14k and they are mostly in the 90k mile range.
