Looking for C5 in Toronto
New to the site and looking for a C5 in the Toronto / Ontario Area.
Ideally it will be black with a 6 speed and low kilometers, preferably under 100 000 km.
Given that these are sometime hard to find I would consider automatics and possibly other colours too.
This will be my first Corvette so I am also willing to take any advice anyone has to offer when it comes to purchasing a used C5. For example, common problem areas to check and if anyone knows of a good Corvette specialist in the Toronto area that would be willing to "look over" any potential cars I'm looking at that would also be appreciated.

Do you know there is a very active Canadian section to the CF?
Look under "Upcoming Events and Regional Discussions" and you will find Canada...
That's where you should be posting this ad....

Melting Slicks
the Toronto market is weird, its up one year and down the next
Past two years its been up , and the pickings are slim right now
Its been a full year since selling my 02 zo6, and ive been searching for the right car to replace it ever since, and so far nothing
