Default Hello from Bavaria

Hi, everyone.
I am from Bavaria in Germany, i'm 25years old and im trying to find a C3 BB Corvette. Maybe iŽve luck and some day iŽll be a proud owner of a vette. It really sucks, here in Europe we donŽt have that much VetteŽs to buy.

Greetings and

Markus

Welcome to the Forum!!!!!!! You may have to buy one here in the US and import it, especially with a C3. Best of luck.

Welcome to the forum, I am working with a frenchman that just bought a C3 on ebay. He lives in Grenoble, With the euro so strong it could be a good idea and in France there is no homologation with a vehicle that old. Good Luck!

Hi Markus and welcome to this forum

A good C3 BB has it's price!!
It's always good if you can take a closer look at it.
To import one is worth a consideration because of the exchange rate.
I'm sure you'll do the right thing and this forum is exact that what you need.

PS. Bavaria isn't so far from my hometown.

@ FAÇADE-C6:

Nice Animation you made of it . But it's not from me, found it somewhere on the web, the Artist is called Mc Neil as far as i know.

@ GuidoW:

You live near Biberach, funny im from Oberbibrach. almost the same, but not that big, ca. half the size of your village.

Welcome and the other members are right. With the difference in the exchange rate you should be able to pretty good even with shipping and import fees.
