Bought a C5 Vert today... :D :D
It's a 1998 Corvette Convertible, withe with beige top and interior...
I actually put down a deposit today. I will probably pick up the car on Monday or Tuesday.. (I still have to transfer my local account here in order to pay the rest of the car)...

Congrats Oliver! What condition is the top? The tan ones have a reputation of "shadowing" or looking dirty.

Re: Bought a C5 Vert today... :D :D (OHSIXX)
The top looks close to perfect condidiont.. There is very little wear at the corner behind the drivers side window.. but it's hardly noticeable.. I would reate the top 9 out of 10...
The paint would be 9 out of 10 too.. It's the original paint.. There are some minor touch ups on the right front of the bumper but nothing unusual. The rest of the paint is perfect.

Congrats! :hurray: :hurray:
You sell a car and end up with 98 Vert, we have a car stolen and ended up with a 1999 Prelude. :cry I guess that's the price I pay for being married and having a little boy! :yesnod: They are both worth it, I sure would like a C5 though. :(
I'm sure I'll get a C5 someday, hopefully before the C7 is for sale! :lol:
