I think you would pretty well have to be out of your mind to pay that, for that car... I would stay as far away as I could from that one.... its only worth something for parting out..

Stay away. I got my 02 for $22k with 57k miles. The car was babed by the original owner and had all the documentation from work he had done. Very clean car. Look around some more and you will find something alot better then that.

With all the fooding going on in Texas, OK, and Kansas, I would be leary of buying a car from that area. Several weeks ago, they were showing the flooding in Coffeyville, Kansas where a large oil refinerey is located, and 75,000 gals of oil leaked out. It looked like the whole town was under 6' of water. I checked Jeff Hardy's site and the Coffeyville Chevy dealer had a couple of new C6's in stock including a C6Z06. I wonder what happened to them after the insurance company bought them.

anyone who's thinking about buying this car, turn around and run away from it as fast as you can. Nothing but headaches in the future for anyone who takes possesion of this car.
