Default Look What I Found

Winter Priced 86

I probably don't really have the means right now, since my wife has been out of work for a month, but I'm definitely looking into it. But if any of you snap it up...I'd understand!

For only $2995.00, that car isn't going to be on the market too long. Excellent deal for someone wanting to get into a Corvette for the first time.

There was another forum member who had this same car posted a few days ago asking if it was a fair deal. If i lived anywhere near Iowa I'd be looking at it TODAY!

Default that is a freaken no brainer.

and if you catch the idle at 700 it looks like at least it is idling nicely.

the speakers box mounted on the inside of the door panel is hilarious but that is fixable

looks clean enough to me, i'd buy that in 2 seconds but i am

congrats to whoever buys it.

just make sure it doesn't have any of this:

That is a good price especially for a dealer sale, but then it's going to snow up there in a few days. What's the tacky toggle switch to the right of the radio for? Stuff like this makes me wonder about "mods" that may be sub standard.

Looks pretty good for that price. In one of the pictures it says about $4k more on the window. The dealer web site also shows it for the same $2950, so I doubt it is a typo.

Yes a nice find indeed.
Why does the rear sit so much higher than the front? Doesn't look right.

If nothing else, I would even consider buying it for a parts car.

I've seen this on a few Vettes(not just C4s) and wonder why. Nonetheless, the car looks like a good deal.

I noticed many of the flaws, too, but for $2950 (and who says he wouldn't take $2500) if I can drive it back home it's a steal. I could clean it and sell it in the Spring for a profit. If only I had extra cash at the moment...

Here's another one I found that the price has dropped significantly because they just can't sell it:

89 Vert

It's nice looking, though far from perfect and the Carfax shows an accident in 2002. But for the price perhaps worth considering. Maybe I'll be lucky and it will still be there come tax return time!

Looks like they sold it now. Hopefully there's a happy new Vette owner out there somewhere.
