Yes but with intake and exhaust that difference is eliminated. The 02's also have the potential valve spring issue which yes is cheap to fix, but I just didn't want that hanging over my head, personally. In that I wouldn't want to drive it even a mile knowing what could happen with those yellow springs.

Point taken, and to your point I did see evidence of this in my research (that '01's were cheaper than I thought they would be vs '02's)

Could someone explain "dealer fee".. I am not familiar with the term. Don't think we have that in WI or MN per se although it might be hidden somewhere in the asking price. Thanks

If a dealer advertises "no dealer fee", then it is baked into the sale price.

Went to the local Chevy dealer about 3 weeks ago for wife to get a new car. Was the typical horrible experience.
We went to the Dodge dealer on New Years day and it was actually not bad at all. Only one trip back to the manager and deal was done. Was very surprised wasn't a bad experience at all.
To bad I can't afford a new Hell Cat Challenger or I would be back their.

Its the fee the dealer collects to do all your document and title work - bill of sale, power of attorney, registration, etc. It varies by most states, and is largely an up-charge and non-negotiable. Did I mention that I hate the dealership experience?

would not buy it for resale reasons. that is the hardest color combo to sell . it's priced fair but you will also have the spring change to do, all fluids, some hoses and possibly shocks and front brakes to do
if you like the color and there is no rust on the car it is priced correctly but man...it will be a rough sell. this is probably why a dealer is selling the car at private party prices

We are right back to what is simply your opinion. You don't like it and that is cool. Your opinion has nothing to do with value, ability to resell, or what the majority think. Everybody thought the white/red cove '55 Vette was the cat's meow. Try buying one of the 15 copper ones they built that people said ruined the look.

Maybe because someone said its the McDonald's Corvette and I can't get that out of my head. Either way, it's your car and as long as you enjoy it.

blue is probably the easiest color to sell
yellow/red would be the hardest. smallest pool of buyers who like that color vs all the other options
look at this thread...see the comments already about the color? you never see this about any other color
even silver which is also a historically a low close color. blue on the flip side is the highest
