Default Wish I had waited...

I bought my white 2002 coupe w/80000 miles on her for a reasonable price and feel I got a good deal on a great car, but kinda wish I had been a little more patient and waited for this one to come along. It is at the top of my budget and I was on the fence between a vert & a coupe...I believe I would have gone for the ragtop in this case and it has everything I wanted on a Vette, even the interior color. What do you all think---was this selling price about right for the car?

I wouldn't have looked twice at it since it's an auto.

I don't like those wheels too much, the rear spoiler has to go, love the hood!

Find it hard to believe a little old lady owned a supercharged Corvette................

I'd like that hood on the one I am about to buy.

I've had straights most all my life & like the lazy auto approach--besides the wife can't drive a stick so not much of a choice

Do you think 28000.00 was a reasonable price?

He got top dollar for that vette, even with only 30k miles.

Drop ten grand on the one you got now and you will forget all about that one.

seems expensive to me. That is an 11 or 12 year old car. Do you think you overpaid for yours?
BTW - I paid about $23k for a white 2001 vert with 22k miles in July of 2011. Prices have come down since then, but I have had almost 3 years of enjoyment that I would not want to miss out on.
There you go…..

I don't think so (14000.00 + my 1994 3000GT(4000.00?). She's clean as a pin but it's nice to have everything you want in one package instead of adding on a little at a time--like what I'm doing now. MOD FEVER

Looks like a nice car. Probably got on the high side price wise, but some very nice mods to the car.

I hate convertibles but that looks sharp. Chrome on white is always nice.

I hate convertibles, I hate automatics, I hate tan interiors, I hate the wheels, I hate the front bumper, I hate floor mats, I hate BSM.

So yeah, I think you know my answer. For that price, I would rather save up another couple grand and buy a C6Z06.

$28k? No thanks, if you're going to buy a car like that you should buy it here, not eBay. In my experience, modified cars are cheaper here and you're less likely to get stuck with a turd.
