Default Need a Vette...

For my wife as a toy she wants a C4... I keep finding RATS! Most guys want top-dollar for cars that aren't top-shape, or even well treated :smash:

I'm confused by the condition of so many of these cars! I'm just looking for a REASONABLE Vette. Not even about the $ anymore. She does want to paint it so, I won't buy a collector.

Know of anything good? :nopity

Dumb question, but have you checked the "For Sale" sections?

Yeah, posted a WTB too, but few responses and nothing close to home. I'm not prepared to fly EVERYWHERE in the country after some of what I've heard over the phone, then seen :nono:

Do you have a price range ... Generally I hear ... "Buy the newest C4 you can afford"

I have/had several ... I like them all. But as far as the C4 the 96s are my favorite.
