Anyone around Philadelphia want to do me a solid?
 

Hello North East!

New member here, currently own a 2004 GTO which I've had for 5 years. I'm looking into C5s right now, and I have found one which I'm interested in. The problem is... I'm in MN and the car is in Philly. It's a 2003 Corvette with a 6 speed, and it has a small accident on its history report. Just looking for someone's impressions of the car up close and personal. Is there anyone who would be willing to help me out!?

As a side note, I have been really happy with the GTO for all these years, and I would plan to daily drive the Corvette just the same as I have been with the GTO. Here she is with 98k miles:

Hi

where in Philly ? I may be able to get to it but not until the weekend. I just purchased a 2003 so I could use mine as a basis for comparison.

al

Where is the Vette located at? I may be able to assist.

And I can appreciate your GTO, as I have a G8 GXP as my daily driver. Great Pontiac/Holden Fun.

The car is on the river side of North Philadelphia.

That would be great to be able to use your recent shopping knowledge. The weekend is coming up pretty quick, too. You may just be able to help yet.

The Aussies do know how to make a good car. That is a great looking GXP you've got. Shoot me a PM if you think you could have some time to check it out for me.

Thanks!
Jeff

Jeff:

need exact location so I can MapQuest it and phone number so I can be sure the owner will be there. Al

Are you sure its not "Northeast" Philly (near the Deleware River); if it is "North Philly" and it is near the Schuylkill River in North Philly, use extreme caution.

Are you the AL that used to have the Green C4 when I lived in Royersford?

You are correct, it's by the Delaware. Here I am being a Midwestern-er, not knowing the geography of the East coast. Thanks for the tip.

:rofl::

If you don't have someone lined up I can assist.

is that Tim ? yea that's me. sold the C4 and bought the C5 in Feb. both great cars. maybe Ill see you this summer.

Im from South Philly, but went to Temple and know of most areas in Philly. take care. Al

I lived in NE Philly for years... Its just as Bad or worse than North Philly Now!!! LOCK & LOAD!!!

True, in some areas. NE has it moments, in North Philly - they never end.

HI Al, yep, its me. Have not seen you for awhile (2 yrs., Tony Lukes Midnight NY cheesesteak run I think), glad to hear you upgraded. I'll put my tel.# in a PM, if you help this guy and its in the N.E., tell me and I'll try to meet up and assist with location and support.
Rex Ruby should still have my # too.
