Try finding some cars by using Autotrader.com. Plug in a distance of 25-50 miles and see what pops up. There are quite a few out there and now is good time to buy. Hope this helps. :chevy

C5s are the deal of the century now. You can get an early coupe for low 20's. I've even seen high mile 97's in the high teens.

Thank you for all the advice. I just put a deposit on a '98 (coupe). Supposed to pick it up monday. Not crazy about the wheels. where can I get a set of chrome late model wheels? I am not the "ebay type" shopper. I would like to buy them local. (Delaware area). Also will the "98 tires fit the later 5 spoke style wheel? Used wheels would be preferable as this will be a daily driver car.

Thanks again for all the help.
