Infamous1 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Having a world of trouble finding my Vette right now. It seems all the 'perfect" ones turn out to be convertibles, automatics or both. I am looking for a C5 but years 01-04 only in either Quiksilver metallic or Pewter, 6-speed and no more than 80K (max) on the clock. I would love to pick something up at a Dealers Auction but if you know of something else local to Socal by all means let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoWagon Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 My dad used to have one But I think you can go to some used car places and have them go to the auction with you. You bid on what you want and you pay them a fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenzo_b Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Are you looking for any C5? Z06 or regualr model? I found a pretty good looking Z06. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=u&car_id=265828467&dealer_id=617174&car_year=2003&rdm=1252694651154&model=CORV&num_records=25&systime=&make2=&highlightFirstMakeModel=&start_year=2001&keywordsfyc=&keywordsrep=&engine=&certified=&body_code=0&fuel=&awsp=false&search_type=both&distance=100&marketZipError=false&color3=&color2=GRAY&search_lang=en&showZipError=n&make=CHEV&keywords_display=&color=SILVER&scarid=262830781&page_location=findacar%3A%3Aispsearchform&min_price=&drive=&default_sort=priceDESC&seller_type=b&max_mileage=75000&style_flag=1&sort_type=priceDESC&address=92503&advanced=y&end_year=2004&doors=&transmission=Manual&max_price=&cardist=40&standard=false Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous1 Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 Its modded and above what I am looking at spending, no desire for a Z06 as the motor will eventually be rebuilt to surpass Z06 power anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Shamar, I have a friend (previous sponsor) with a COML license. I will give him a call and see if he can help. He got me a truck, and my mom a car a few years back from the commercial auctions. He lives in the Sun City area so he is not too far from you. I will shoot you a PM as soon as I talk to him. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Good Luck with the Z06. My buddy (with the COML) is in Texas on a business trip. Won't be back until next week. If you don't get the car, he might be able to help. Hey Rob, Vettes are awesome just like Spec B's, until you put oil in them. Then both are crap!
