I get to enjoy the cars best days, someone else pays for it. :yesnod:

I hear that...

Its completely worn out. Only good for salvage after 10k. I'll give you $500 for it. You know, its parts car now.:lol::lol:

this guy is trying to rip you off. I'd go to $600, and I'll tow it away free of charge. You can't do much better than that.:D

My 93 rolled over to 176K on the way to work today. Drive these suckers. Believe me if you've tried to get GM parts for them lately you will know they are on an obsolescence curve until they become resto candidates and the aftermarket chimes in.

Until then, 200K here I come!!!!

my theory on this low mileage stuff. i could be dead tomorrow - hit by a frickin' bus or something. now, the old lady would probably remarry, and then there would be some dude, sitting in my lazy-boy, drinking my beer, watching my big screen, and pattin' my old lady on the a$$. now i can deal with the lazy-boy, the big screen, the beer, and even the old lady butt, but i'll be damned if i'm turning over the keys to a low mileage vette. if the dude gets it, it's going to be worn out, needing everything!!! :lol::lol::lol:

:rofl:

pics would be nice...

I hate to tell you, BUT your car was made to drive, sitting in garage all you are doing is drying out all your seals, and tires.

That you do. And one of these days, I'm gonna figure out a way to register it (semi-legally anyway) and drive the snot out of it. :D

Anybody see the reference to this post on the main forum page questioning if corvette owners are soft?

My Z had 38k on it when I bought it...I've doubled that.

Drive the damn thing, you're missing out

Took Marco for a nice long drive in the rain today. Contrary to popular opinion, it didn't melt. :yesnod:
