Mean, You have to admit, if you were a first time buyer and didnt know much about C5's or the conversions, wouldnt you be skeptical of a non professional converting a car?

This is the angle I was coming from... Of course I am not here to offend anyone. If the Car in question is a perfect example of a professional Conversion... then that is another story.

vetterdstr -- Not to worry, I certainly didn't take offense at your comment. Caution is indeed warranted in a major project like this, but rest assured, this one came out very, very nice. :yesnod: But just wait until you see my next one! :D

meangreen -- Thanks, Mark. I appreciate that sincerely!

I stand corrected :bb only 3600miles I would buy this car in a nanosecond if I had the money that is :( Someone will get lucky with this car. Sorry about that Hutch :cheers:
Ooops! I stand corrected myself... double checked today and the actual odometer reading is only 3342 miles. Hey, I was close, anyway. Pretty good for an old fart. :lol:

Hey, are you sure your odometer isn't somehow connected to the Fuel sending Unit(s)? LOL. Man, I can't believe your car is still for sale especially because there are so many owners who would not get the Z06 because they didn't make it in a vert :confused: :confused: :confused:

Yellowmatt.

This price is actually pretty close to Invoice price. Its a $50K car that you should be able to get 38-40K financing cause most banks/credit unions will finance 80% of a new value. As long as your credit is good and the debt to income ratios are right, you could walk into any bank and get this car financed because its still considered a new car. If you really want this car, I wouldn't waste any more time and get approved already.

You tell him, Mark! :smash:

I got new car financing on this car at 4.9% when I first bought it. Not GM's 0% deal, mind you, but not too shabby!

I'm so close to deciding on just keeping this car, I can't stand it. I hate to think about another ~8 week delay while the other car is being built when I could be driving this one! Ah, well... the world should have such problems, eh? :rolleyes:
