Default Pulled the TRIGGER Today! 92 Polo Green

Waited three Months to view this car. Got an early showing due to the Owner passed away last week. His son called this morning, looked and test drove the car this afternoon - SOLD No haggling on the price, asking $9.5k and that's what I'm paying. Will pick up early next week with cash or bank draft. 52,000 miles and she is cherry.

Congratulations!! Nice find, looks pristine inside and out. Depending on the records, as always change all fluids, ensure it is tight and drive the **** out of it

peace to those that have passed

All fluids were changed last year, doesn't even need an oil change.

Were the gold tips on the tail pipes a factory option?

I don't think so. There are no RPO codes listed for them in the Corvette Black Book.

I don't know why GM shy's away from Green, even on the new ones.
Great looking car, good price. I think you came out on top of this deal. Welcome to the C4 forum.

Nice purchase. Good price. You can put a few grand into it and it's still a good deal.

My hat is off to you for buying at the advertised price. It was the right thing to do in the situation at hand. You both won on this deal.
