Default Corvette Fever

Hello All,
My Name Is Mike Lane And I Live In Millersport Ohio.

I am looking to buy a vette and I figured what better place to start than a Corvette Forum

I am 53 years old and I have read alot of people that age take on vette fever.
Not sure if its a mid life crisis or exactly what
But both my kids are grown and moved out so no need for the mini van thing any longer

I have took a couple hits on my credit down through the years and might not be able to get a loan through a bank.

I have tried a number of buy here pay here dealers and none has Corvettes.
So what I am hoping to find is someone that would be interested in selling me a vette on time through them.

I have a 1991 Cavalier V 2 door and has very very little rust on the body but the interior could use some work but other than that it would not take much at all to restore it.
It has the hard shift kit in it and a number of new parts.
As far as a monthly payment goes I am sure we could sit down and work something out and of course the title would stay in your name until its payed off.

You can contact me by e-mail, mlane331@yahoo.com
Or send me a Private message here on the forum.

Looking for something like a 1976 to 1990 but interested in all if the price is fair.

Meant to say that I would be willing to sign over the Cavalier as like a down payment.

Its got the 4cyl in it and super easy on gas
