there is ither little or an ton to dont with that car and by tinker i mean just look over being i maybe able to store it in the garage but work on is not going to happen being my dads 1944 Ford GPW needs to get done first.
and i would need to pay some of it off before i started doing my mods i want to do..
oh on the flood thing ya i may have to agree with ya there why i don't relly plan to get this one found an better one that all i need to do is repaint it and yes repainting the car would be EZ for me being my dad (12 years exsperince) knows how and his friend has been doing it for an good 20 years now so painting is ez now body work might take some time to figure out dad says its ez just its itchy stuff to work with.

In an earlier post you stated that you are going "to take auto next year".
What year of high school are you in?
You also stated in this post that if you buy this C5 "it will give me something to tinker with".
These cars are not like a lawnmower. If you don't have any practical experience you won't be "tinkering".
And do you really think you're going to buy a 2002 C5 for $3000??

You're giving him more credit than I would by asking what year of high school he is in. I'd put it at middle school at best.
Amazingly, his posts are getting worse..
And now it's up to 4k, so I guess that is too much.

no use in bidding on something i don't want to bid on anymore, and on top of that being that it has
a salvage title makes me wonder what happened to it and being it has no reserve make me wonder more

Spell check brother!!!! I looked at the car and it looks nice. With Ebay it's buyer beware. Personally I don't like to bid or purchase cars I haven't seen and driven. I'm just wondering why he's selling it. It sounds too good to be true.

well im kinda have mixed thoughts on this car oh http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=140281913970
salvage title but its fixed humm well if anything will give me an car to tinker with but from what is said id say that some really rich guy or some on with no brains wrote this one off an as salvage title by accident, but makes good for me being that it states that some people may stay away from it.
oh please let me get this one ie don't go on there an out bit me just because you can, i know 99% of you wont but im referring to the annoying 1%
right colour but its an automatic but i don't mind maybe get the stick later but it dose seem to scream Z06 in parts so who knows

I was for giving this dude a break before, but my head is starting to hurt.
I researched some of his threads and posts. Supposedly he lives with his Mom and Dad and is very concerned about their thoughts on whatever he is doing. He is either very young, or we are being taken for a ride. I am very close to calling

This car we are talking about is over 10K now and at 4 days 3 hours its not worth bidding on because it evident its going to go high anyway if i want one for 20K i know of way better ones to bid on.
