I'm going to look at a2000 Corvette convertable.
Its Navy Blue with the Tan top and matching tan interior. It has 45,300 miles on it. says the tires are not new but have a good amount of tread life on them. Just installed a new headlight motor. Also just had scratches wet sanded and car totally buffed and waxed.

6 spd trans -is this rare in a convertable
Heads Up Display
Corsa Exhaust
12 disc CD Changer in trunk
AM/FM CD in dash
Full power seats, windows, mirrors
C-6 Rims 18" front and 19" rear
The asking price is $18,800
This sounds like a good price -right?
Thanks, glen

Sounds like my 6 speed convert, same color but mine is a black top. Check and OBD codes it may have stored. Do you have emission tests there?

Is the six speed rare in a vert - probably not. Is it a nice option to have - yes. Just be sure to check the car over very carefully and good luck if you go for it. Price sounds a tad high but you can always offer less.

As I poked around here and other places, I realized the price is a little high. Then when I called back, found he is the 3rd owner and that when he bought it the car fax questioned the mileage it was in the 35k range, then another showed 50k, then it dropped back down to the upper 30k or something like that -may be an honest miss report at an inspection, but it will still be there in the future.
I think I'll just wait since I'm in no hurry and I really want a 2000 -2004 Z06, so I'll just keep my eyes open.
Thanks
