Default Yeah, its low miles...but...ugh

This car just strikes me as WTF...

First off...stenciled emblems, under the clearcoat...you dumbass, why the **** would you ever do this shit?

The bumper covers...dont looks right, like its a shitty repaint.

The fixed beam lights, looks like he used bathroom caulk to seal the housings, gay.

Rare red seats....honestly, from 98-2004, how many read seat vettes were made?

A very fast manual transmission...now, Im not a fan of manuals, but its my understanding that they only shift as fast as the person using them....?

Borla Stingers...sounds like a Farrari....? Lamborghini wheels....this guy has his head in the clouds..

And 15,000...for that? mmm...ive seen nicer, cleaner C5's...with 100,000 miles, sell for less than 12, without 300lb of sound system packed in the back.

C5 Corvette (6 Speed)

$10k is a stretch. No f'cking way would I pay $15 for that. Needs paint and wheels/tires for starters.

I'm guessing something related to audio. Don't have a clue though.

Looks like a band pass sub. 12" if my eye is correct.

I dont like C5's...but this one, is just sad.

A Red/Red 1999 just sold locally about a month ago, 101K miles, 995 perfect paint, 9/10 interior, good tires on Black Z06 wheels, good brakes, ran right, M6, aftermarket exhaust...it sat on CL for 12K for a while, Im told it sold for 10,500...with a red car cover.

If I had 10,500...id have been on it.

Pass on all C5 vettes that were made before 01 as the ABS can't be fixed on the mofos.

My 99 has 75K plus on it and I have had no ABS problems.
However, I agree that seller has gotta be smoking something if he thinks he is gonna get that kind of price for that particular car
