Bromley's Corvettes Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Im looking for a few C5 ACEholes that might be willing to go look at some cars with me - im new to this vette thing - I work till about 5:00 everyday - I would suggest when you locate one you want to look at you post up the location and I'll bet you have someone here that's close and wouldn't mind taking a look with you. Very smart plan:) I have had lots of guys over the years buy a C-3 with never owning a vette be four. They did not know what to look for then they bring me the car to check it out and WOW lol. I say yikes I would not have bought this car at any price lol. They are shocked at how much is wrong with the car and rusted and been wrecked and miss matched parts from different years and on and on. Not always like that but sometimes its better to keep looking and pay a little more for the right car:) Probably safer with a C-5 no worries about rust but still lots of things to look at.

Ray Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I would meet the car owner at CPR and have Joe look it over (for a fee). Negotiate with seller, if the car checks out, you pay, if not, seller pays. It's usually an hour at his ACE rate $$. He really knows C-5's, and C-6 & 7's.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kahuna1 Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Well I said my trigger finger was getting itchy - KABOOM! Just want to thank all of you Aceholes that helped along the way - As JL Mistress knows this has been a long process to get here. I remember over a year ago I told Jay - im getting a vette - well he got one before me - but I finally have one. Thanks too everyone for helping with this C5 - the list is long of all the people that have guided me through this process - way too many to list - so nomore Black Charger at the vette outings, although the Charger stays in the garage too, now I can come in the Vette - special thanks to Ted for doing an inspection and spending about 4 hours with me negotiating this car. Thanks everybody - hope you will all get a look at her soon. Kahuna1 - Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
