Default A little help?

Anyone live in or near Mankato, MN. I would sincerely appreciate it if a fellow Corvette enthusiast could check out a 1996 Corvette Collectors Edition. The car is being sold by Unique Specialty and Classic Cars. Also has anyone dealt with them? They were really nice on the phone and in answering questions. Seems legit. Anything helps. Thanks. And don't buy it out from under me. Lol.

I know your looking for someone to check it out, but.....

Too much money!

I know the miles are low, but some say you need to drive these cars or you could have problems(ie: oil leaks)

It averages about 325 miles a year

They went down to $20k OTD shipped to SW Florida. What is really reasonable?

You might want to post the link so other members can see the ad.

It's a low milage (7K) CE , I think auto

I'll let others chime in, but at that price you can buy a ZR1.
I think you can get an awesome one, even a LT4 (330 hp) for $12K to $15K.

I'm still worried about the (too) low miles. I forgot to mention in my earlier post about not only the seals being dried out but alot of rubber will be dried out from limited use. If you get this one ask them for the date codes on the tires(too old is dangerous and destructive to a c4)

Checkout the cars for sale section on this forum, maybe a bit pricey vs the outside world, but members here tend to take better care of their C4

Sorry to be a debbie downer...don't catch corvette fever...lol
