that’s for specifying that the vette need be V8. :bloated:
and does the $12K cash offer only apply to the stang, or both? good luck finding a “newer style” (aka c6) vette for that range…
and how can he even debate here? vette \>\>\>\>\>\> stang all day

Just typing what he put down, relax.
He said he would go 14,000 on a vette, which can also be the C5 style.

good luck finding even a c5 for $12k or so.
A friend of mine was looking at a 2000ish Roush on Abbott in Lackawanna. It was around $14k if I remember correctly.
Verts only? Have to be stock or just nothing crazy?

If all I posted was stangs and vettes then obviously not. Couldn’t tell you why either.

Nothing crazy Mike. He was looking at a Cobra with 535 hp. Fastest thing this guy has driven is an alero mind you.

if he only spends that much on a vette
he’ll either get a c5 with a pile of miles or an LT1 c4
which both suck
he needs to pony up at least 15K for a decent example of a c5
mustang sounds like the route he should be looking for if he can’t justify a couple extra grand

not many vette people on here so they think 14k is too low for a good c5, his willingness to travel to pick it up means he shouldn’t have a problem finding a low miles one for 14k, except i never look for verts, don’t know how that affects resale.(don’t believe me? ultradriver will chime in(he has a low miles c5)
that black mustang is hideous.
tell him just not to get a cont., it kills the looks on both cars, and the vette is a targa anyways.
tell him my cobra for an even 11.5, i would say 12 but your getting my tires so it will need those.

It’s hopefully being sold this summer. No rush, but I’ve planned this for a while. I just can’t justify having the money tied up in a car until I settle into a house/job/city/state/country.
Price isn’t set yet, but will be sub-20k (locally only, if I have to market it on eBay or some shit, it’s going up) unless I put a lot more money into it in the next few months. Looking for a painless sale instead of fighting for top dollar for months.

You can find C5’s for around 15K with about 75K miles if your willing to drive.
My vette has low miles and is stupid clean and I didn’t pay much more for it. If you look, wait and haggle you can get a good deal.
