Are convertibles that rare?

I have friends and family in WV. Depending on where the car is located I may be able to get someone to help you out. You can PM me if you'd prefer not to give up the location of the car here so someone doesn't swoop in and 'steal your deal'.

There are over 100 C6 verts under $30,000 within 500 miles.

Yes, but only 34 of them are manual! And only 5 are low mileage under 20K! Plus none are his favorite color.

I travelled from Washington to Mississippi to buy my "had to have"...a silver '05 convertible, 6spd with Z51. I travelled from Washington to Wisconsin to buy my next "had to have"...a blue '11 GS convertible, 6spd. The fun was in the drive home.

Sounds good, and nice to have the service history! Have you decided whether or not to still use a 3rd party to inspect it, and how are you going to transport it? With what you're going to spend on transport, you could just fly down, and drive it back! That's what I would do. Good luck.

I have the service history and the one concern I have is that there are no oil changes that showed up except for the one the selling dealer did recently. I assume GM recommends a low mileage oil change every 2 years? This is a one owner car with less than 16k miles - so either the owner changed it himself or went to a non-GM place or he didn't change it!
I would have come up with the same conclusion!

if he went longer duration on mileage and time, you may be able to see slight "sludge" build-up if you look at the inside of the oil fill cap...…..
with your price range, I am assuming no LS7 or dry sump oil system
also, if he went to an independent repair facility, it would not show up on a GM VIS report or possibly even not on a Carfax report
