Should I try to buy this 3700 mile ‘03 AE?

That would be the hardest part for me with that car. With all the modern 6/8/10 speed autos these days it would be hard to go back to an old 4L60. If it were an M6 I’d be way more into this car. To each their own though.

It's not like they made a limited amount of corvettes the last 20 years.

What I see:

1. the front bumper looks pretty rough for the miles
2. still has factory tires on it, 03 date codes on the ones I can read, needs new one yesterday
3. Battery cables/connections don't look stock. Doesn't look either of my C5s (01 and 04)

Probably okay for the current price, but I would see where it is with a few minutes left.

The curbed wheels and wheel weights on the outside are a nice touch.

Looks like it has some autozone-diy wiring to the positive terminal too, the yellow splice.

Yea, that doesn't look right.

Looks like someone maybe rigged up a homemade alarm?
This little light on the console next to shifter boot I think is not factory.

If you are not buying in person always pay someone who knows cars
to inspect your would be purchase. Never buy sight unseen.
Good luck

That alone would disqualify it for me. The sitting and auto also very high on the list.

If you want a collector version of a car, get an unmodified one.

Too many wrinkles identified and the fact its not road tested for a while, along with the fact it is not a screaming good deal like $12k - Hard pass. As A-Dog said, its not like they are rare.

Yea, I’m out on this.
I really liked the 50th AE I had and wish I never traded it.
Only the Anniversary red C5’s are true 50th and they hold a premium price over regular 2003 C5’s.

I’ll find something closer to see 1st hand.

That's cheap.

Best C5 ever made:

Better find one soon, or you'll have to change your screen name.

I could be:

Kewl 03 Kenne Bell Durango
Kewl 05 parked all original Lightning.
Kewl Pro Street S10 PU parked for 26 years.
Kewl Benz SL550 never driven
Or what the women say to me – “What are you retarded or something”

Do those cheap whores tell you that before you pay them?

Too much money. You can get C-6's with less mileage and more HP. Less cheap plastic and a better fit. Anniversary Vettes are a dime a dozen.
