Default Buying advice.

HI i'm looking to buy a C5 (Currently have a C4) from over there & get it shipped here to the UK.

Has anybody here had dealings with buyavette.net?
they seem a pretty good team & also deliver to the port.

Or can you recommend another decent trader?

Looking to spend up to $28,000 but would prefer to spend a little less due to our tax & duty laws, a $25.000 car would cost me $33.000 by the time everything is paid.

Thanks for any help.

Have somebody here look over the vette you intend to buy before you buy it and ship it over. You could save a few $$$ by going early C5 (97,98, 99) and put that money back into mods! Let us know what vette you find and where......odds are ....somebody can check it out for you!


Also...let us know exactly what you want.....and I ...or somebody else will find your exact vette for you!

Thanks for that,
Putting my car up for sale at the next car show, so then i'll know what funds I have to play with, Not fussed whether auto or manual, would like heads up display though.

I do fancy going down the "Mods" route.

God I must be so observant, I've only just noticed the link above to "Buy a Vette"

Also you guys have some stunning cars for sale yourselves.

I might be giving you a call after my C4 is gone, problem is the shipping cost so if I buy one it has to be close to the East coast.

But I love that Black on Black Coupe for sale...Damn
