I barely post on this forum anymore anyway. Not out of butt hurt, just got other things going on.

Regardless, I don’t care if y’all make fun of me. You are just a bunch of folks that don’t know me anyway.

We have a member here with a 1990 C4 with an optional booster seat. Don't listen to these reprobates get what you want. I like the lines of the 91-96 Vettes. A 96 LT-4 would'd be nice.

I had my grandfather's 76 Buick Electra 225 limited ( 2 door) and although it wouldn't set any speed records, it was one of the nicest riding vehicles I ever had. It's like having a steering wheel on your lazyboy recliner

Previous to that he had a '69 Electra 225 that moved pretty good. iirc, that had a 425 in it

This will be a weekend toy, those types of cars aren’t really my thing.

I’m considering a few other cars. Even thought about another C3. Market on those are pretty soft right now, but I would like something a bit more modern with a few creature comforts.

A chrome bumper, with a modern chassis and LS engine would be pretty cool...

I was a bit pissed as there was a low mileage 96 LT4 CE with red interior for sale within the last few weeks. That's really the car I wanted. Actually before I bought the '73 that was the car I was looking for. Had to pass it up due to this refinance bullshit and it sold.

Well, on a side note, I have time. Not going to rush into anything. I'm an impatient person and have a tendency to react on impulse. The right car will come along. With an empty garage, I've been taking the opportunity to organize and clean up in there. I've also got some other household projects that I have procrastinated to keep me occupied.

A C5 is so far advanced over C4. You can find a lot of C5s in your price range although a Z06 may be stretching it. I don’t have my 99 coupe anymore. Have a 2016 Stingray which I love

C5 Z06? Shit I haven’t looked but could you get a C6 Z06 for that price? I sold my 06 Z in 2014 for $38k.

The market is nuts...no, you can't.

[StaticCling]

I have seen some C6 Z06's in the low 40's, but they look a bit beat on. Clean ones are in the 50k range it seems.

Meanwhile low mileage C5 Z06's are available for low to mid 30k range.

I'm going to be patient and wait for the right car.

I posted my Camaro on fb marketplace for what I thought was a stupid price, and I have someone very interested.
I may be in the market soon too.

I was completely astonished how much I got for my Mustang GT. I sold it to Carvana. Used car market is insane right now for sure.

Yup, unfortunately anything you (or I) would be interested in will be crazy high now too.

I listed my 2011 SS for $26.5k, and I may have a buyer.
Crazy thing is I am still having second thoughts.

[RMVette]

How about a nice C3?

[zeek]

Too bad your budget is only $35k....I have owned 17 Corvettes and this one is my favorite one by far....

I have owned two. I would consider it, but the car would have to be solid. I don’t want to mess with suspension work first of all.

Regardless, game on! Sign the papers for the refi Saturday! The hunt officially begins!
