My face hurts from smiling
I'll try to post some good pics soon
Private individ in San Antonio just sold a red 02 Z06 with 2,400 miles--$31,500. Loaded.

I gave him a deposit on the car last winter when it had about 1,400 miles on it. $33,500. Then guy changed his mind about selling it. Long story, and everyone lived happily every after at that point. He thought he would sell it within year, and gave me right of first refusal. Since then, I purchased something else with extremely low miles.

Owner said he had 2,900 miles on his 99 Vette when he sold it. (He has owned 4 or 5 Vettes and never puts any miles on them.)

Nice find and what a great car, I purchased a 2002 Triple Black vert about a year ago with 4100 miles on the clock but have over 10000 on it now as took a nice long trip with it this summer and had a smile on every mile. Hope you enjoy as much as I have great cars.

Mark,
Upload your pictures to a free web hosting site. I used webshots, but there are other sites, such as photobucket etc. They will provide a link to your photo which you can copy and paste into the body of your message.Hope that helps. It sounds more complicated than it is, if I can do it anyone can
