Is it possible?
I might buy a C4 depending on if this is possible or not...
I would like a newer C4 manual...Low miles (well at most 30,000), and a coupe. Do you think that I could get one for around $17,500?

I wouldn't worry about miles, but yes for that kind of money, you could find yourself in a nice LT4 car.

If you have never heard of the opti, do a search before you buy.

I paid 17.5K for mine 7 months ago. It's a Torch Red LT4 with 46k miles. It also came with Michelin Pilot Sports,chrome ZR1 wheels, and Corsa exhaust. I thought that I paid a fair price at the time. Prices have come down some since then. You should be able to get a great car for that price.

Dang!!! I would have loved to pick that one up.
I was looking in the local AutoTrader, and there was a white 97 C5 for $17,5. It had 77k miles.
Hopefully I can find an LT4
I'm not going to rush anything though.
