And the color scheme is ugly to boot.

Looks like a nice car. The price seems on the high side.

Good luck

I would never buy that now thatI know it's a bastard. If it were a real GS I would have considered it cause it would have been worth the money. I have been shopping for a nice C5 vert for 2-3 months now and after carefull consideration I think a 2002 is the best bang for the buck. It's late model but still affordable and it comes in the colors I like with the options I want. I figure it'll cost me between $23K and $28K with about 40,000 miles on it.

Thanks for the offer but I need to do something with my '92 (even if I have to take a trade in beating) and South Florida is so full of Corvettes it's not funny. If I can't find a nice one here I prob won't ever find a nice one (if you know what I mean)
