Default Needs shocks and paint...

"...Needs new shock on front and needs paint...."

No! Say it ain't so! I wouldn't have guessed! And lessee, a front spoiler and an air dam too.

For $3,700 it may be worth buying to part out...

and had thinking along those same lines. My whole consternation is this C4 in a particularly desirable color is obviously owned by someone who'd easily run their Honda Civic up and over the parking stops in the parking lot without thinking about it!

As the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. The hard part would be trying to figure out the demographics of the owner. My guess, middle aged woman who somehow got the car through a divorce or as a present and has no clue, because someone who loves Corvette's would never, ever ram the front end into the bushes and up over the curb of the spot!

A guy would have to be pretty friggin' clueless to post a pic of the car for sale in Craigslist, knowing that other guys are going to judge him on his great parking skills and thinking what kind of incredible idiot he is for even doing that to a desirable car!

Go figure, it was good for some laughs!
