Default Decided on adding a C5!

Looking at a new DD; finally decided a new C6 was not it.

Gave a low mile 04 Z06 a look, wow! the C5 IS it.

Questions: 1)source for low mile, nearly new 04's ?
anyone buy from roger's in FL, without seeing first?

2)Any reputable AZ source with such inventory?
Anyone received knowledgeable C-5 Corvette service from
an AZ Chevy dealer, or use private shops for C5 service?

Not a good idea to buy sight unseen. Get to know some of the CF members in FL and see if they'll go check out the car you saw adverised there.

I would recommend not buying sight unseen, unless you have a money back guarantee! Make sure first!
