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.

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

Price doesn't seem bad at all, but who knows where it will go right now. Goodluck on it!

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??

With so many nice cars with clean titles available for sale - why look at a car with a questionable history....because it's cheap?
If you can't afford a car with a clear title - you need to do one of several things....
1. Look at an older car that costs less
2. Look at a car with higher mileage
3. Look at something other than a Corvette
These cars can cost a fortune to maintain - and if you don't know why this car has a salvage title, then walk away....no wait - RUN AWAY!
If you have exceptional mechanical skills, or if you plan to race this car on a track, and you have no worries about ever selling this car - then by all means, go for it. Personally - I wouldn't want it.

????? There's 4 plus days left... You think no one will bid on it? Just because there's "no reserve" or the reserve has already been met, doesn't mean it won't sell for good money. (Whether or not it has a goofy salvage title or not...) The whole sale looks a little goofy to me... and if there's no minimum, he's got a buddy bidding enough to keep it from going cheap!! I'd stay away or at least look it over very carefully. If you've ever watched something sell on eBay, it can rise in price quickly at the very end.. VERY quickly...
Use caution... and see how high that price goes in the last few minutes!!
Good luck!!
