Hard time finding a car
Have a buddy that I am trying to help find a Grand Sport convertible. He wants a yellow automatic.
They're out there, but seem to be made of gold.
Anybody know of a clean convertible for sale?

His budget is under $45K, convertible, at least a 2LT, and lower mileage.

And you have to be willing to buy out of state to get what your looking for.
Autotrader.com is a great place to start the search.
I searched for 6 months, and bought one out of Country to get exactly what I wanted (color, options, etc)

Of the GS convertibles made in velocity yellow by year without a true number of auto transmission (Approx 70%) auto
2010 - 145 Velocity yellow convertibles.
2011 - 255 Velocity yellow convertibles.
2012 - 126 Velocity yellow convertibles
2013 - 81 Velocity yellow convertibles
As you can see, you will be very limited to the amount of GS Convertibles that are on the market with the exact options that you want and with an auto.
This could be a long search, but it will be fun doing it.
This search will have to nationwide to have any success, or you may get lucky and find one in your backyard.
Good Luck

What they said. I searched for a year with fairly specific wants and then two popped up. One was about 300 miles away and the other was further but in the same direction. We took a road trip, leaving in one car and coming back in two, buying the one that was the farthest away.
The more specific requirements or specific combinations you have the harder they are to find.
Good luck.

Here is a 2010 GS Convertible , with the Auto, 4LT option group, 26,000 miles for $39,900.
That's is exactly better than what was wanted for options
The mileage is not that high.
I'd buy it in a minute if that is what I was looking for.
Too many vette owners get hung up on mileage. At less than 30K miles, it's hardly even broken in. It's still available for extended warranty if that is a safety blanket.
There a 5 GS auto with VY on this page, but not all under $45,000
2012 - 4912 miles $51,900 3LT Auto
2012 - 11,203 miles - $47,995 3LT auto
2013 - 13,240 miles - $49,994 3LT auto
2011 - 3,000 miles - $46,900 3LT auto
Those are the only ones available on Autotrader.com nationwide.

The quest is not so much in finding one that fits the desires, but finding one that is currently for sale.
