Default Used corvette search????

Anyone have some tips how to search the USA for my next Vette?

Is there any good search functions for used C6 Corvettes?


Going used this time around! I sold my 2005 Lemans Z-51 Coupe for $29,000 and am kicking myself...I picked her up from the Factory.

Still have the 29K sitting in the bank.....would love to replace it with a BLACK Coupe with TAN interior. MN6 is a must but will consider paddle shifters.

Have not ever used it, so don't know for sure whether it would search for all model years that you are interested in or not.

Just looked at it and it seems to only have 2008, 2009, and 2010 model year Vettes.

I have had lots of luck with cars.com, autotrader.com, and this forum. Good time to buy, IMO. Just picked up my newest ride, an '07 MRM A6 w/6.5K miles, from a forum member a few weeks ago. Good luck!

try:

http://www.usedcorvettesforsale.com/...D&s_by=f_price

and of course, Ebay with the filters for what year, color, body type etc activated.

cars.com is fine too, their filters will work well to narrow the search.

Iseecars.com
Everycarlisted.com
Cars.com
Carsdirect.com
Autotrader.com

Just build your search, and then save the URL once you get it the way you like it.

While autotrader and cars.com are good sources, I noticed the information is not always up-to-date/accurate. I found my Vette through getauto.com. This website shows dealer only inventory which isn't on other websites or available from any other source. Many dealers aren't signed up for autotrader or cars.com.
Give it a shot!

I found my C5 on cars.com, but as you probably know, there are many used car web sites.

Why not start looking right here? You might also search for "top used car websites".

Found my Vette on cars.com, they have a good filter system, but I noticed it was still listed a month after I had bought it. That is probably more problem for the seller than buyer though.

Most recent one came from Cars.com Local newspaper for the last one. This was after ENDLESS hours at autotrader, vettetrader, HERE at CF, craigslist, google searches, and bigger name used vette dealers around the country. The week I gave up, I popped onto cars.com, and bought it a few days later.

In the end, you need PATIENCE! Lots out there, until you start to get specific on your search! DO NOT SETTLE< WAIT FOR IT!

GOOD LUCK!
