I have been hunting... I have a car to drive, so I am waiting for that perfect catch... It is out there somewhere... The reason I sold my car in the first place is because I found a 2003 EB Z06 with 2900 miles on it, chrome, the works, for $36500... which to me is a steal... but I couldn't buy it until I sold mine... and of course by the time i did, it was gone... So I am waiting until another deal like that comes around... and until then, I am pocketing the money I would have been spending on my 97 coupe... so i can make a huge down payment and not have a huge monthy payment...

Does anyone know of a really good place to buy vettes beside autotrader and cars.com... It seems I have hit those sites about 5000 times a aday, waiting for another car to pop up...

Until I find another one, I hope you guys don't mind me staying around the forums, as I am an "ex-vette-soon-to-be-another-vette-owner"

what a nice way to say you're leaving the Corvette brotherhood. Others could learn from your great way of communicating when moving on to other things.

Take care and you'll be back into one sometime in the future.

Thanks

I am not leaving the brotherhood... just temporarily "corvettless"... I am franticallly searching for my vette!!!! I am going through withdrawls...

Whats amazing, is my permagrin hasn't left, even though my ol' girl is gone, I just get a grin thinking about her and thinking about the adventure ahead, finding the perfect Z to keep for a LOOOOONG time... I already have a Microsoft Word file filled with Mods and corresponding prices and links that I have been collecting... so that when I get my new Z, I can start modding (lightly) and making her unique...
