Default Wtb c5 mt 2001-2003

In search of a daily driver C5 (2001-2003). A Corvette is a bucket list car for me. I'm looking for a driver quality MT at an entry level price. I would prefer something that needs a little work to keep me busy.
Thanks, Tom
Reston, VA

Moved to C5 Corvettes for Sale/Wanted.

I would recommend you mention colors preferred, transmission type, mileage range, price you are looking to spend, options you would like on the car, etc.

That might just help you with your purchasing decision.

Vetteman Jack thanks for the advice
I'm looking for:
  • C5 coupe (2001-2003 preferred) to use as a daily driver
  • six speed MT
  • up to $14k budget but willing to increase that for the right vehicle
  • without the magnetic ride height option
  • I prefer the more muted colors (not yellow or red) with light interior (not black)
My entry level price range most likely puts me in the high mileage category and the color is the least of my worries - I'm mainly interested in a car with good bones.

Thanks, Tom
