Looks like it needs a good cleaning by the looks of it. Dont know much info on it other than the description but it could be a great car to fix up and drive around. Me being a guy that likes to tinker around with cars, I look at it as a great deal.

I like the part "Looks and runs good"
Then I look at the pictures... It doesn't appear to be a good deal for someone looking for a driver.

cheap cars usually turn out to be extremely expensive and still have no resale
best buys imo with c5's are the 1-2 owner, rural owned 80-120k mile cars with all records. great shape and often similar mechanical wear to a 30-40k mile in town car
you can get 02-04 model year cars in the mid teens

Cant be afraid of a car rough around the edges...
Its not a waxer, low mile, doo wop cruise in car...its a clean it up, throw a clutch/safety equip/brakes/tires, and go whip its ***...if it blows up, build a track motor, if you wreck it, part it and build a custom tube chassis to utilize the drivetrain/remaining suspension for an even better track car...thats how I do it...
Edit: simultaneous posts by the trio...hmmm

Personally, i think the car looks good as it sits. Is it "junk" just because its $6500?

some are waxers, some are modders and some are builders
Nothin wrong with being any of those three, as long as you recognize which of the three you truly are...
This is a car for the last group...people not afraid to dive in, and not afraid to buy a vette that could sh*t the bed in two wks...

I agree - if you wanted to build a track car, that's one to start with.
