Default What does $24,000 buy me?

Yes, I bought my C5 last year, but a girl in my Corvette Club is looking at buying her first Corvette and can spend up to about 24k$.

Her "want ad"
Wanted 1st Corvette: C5, 99-2004. MUST be coupe and automatic. Really want blue exterior with oak/tan interior. Will settle for silver/pewter then 3rd choice black exterior.

Rain,
Seems like quite a few nice coupes have been on the board lately in that price range, especially the silver/pewter color. I think a decent mileage 2000-01 is realistic. To bad white isn't an option, there is a real nice looking 99 for less than 22K here. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...36&forum_id=52
Good luck to your club member on her search.
