Default Hello from Gainesville, Fl
Poking around looking for a 2003 or 04 Z06 to buy. This looks like a great place to start.

Take a Corvette friend with you and DO NOT buy the first one you look at unless you look at others AND come back to it. First Corvettes are very emotional experiences. Come to think of it, all Corvette purchases are emotional experiences. In my case, I did not do the selecting - Margaret picked me - then again, Carol also picked me. Have fun shopping.

Good Luck,

JKHolman

Good Luck on finding the perfect 'Vette! I'm also in the market and stumbled upon the classifieds by accident. Looking through them so far the prices seem much more reasonable than looking elsewhere (Craigslist/Ebay)
