Does anyone have an active Carfax subscription right now?
I located a 96 LT-1 with 73,000 miles for $14,000.
It "looks"good,but it's a "bare bones" model.Coupe BTW.
 
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi

Save your money it's too much for that kind of mileage and being a bare bones vette.

Look around and you will find a better one.


Alan
 
I'm not sure what you mean by "bare Bones" model. I think in 96' all vettes came well equiped as standard equipment. However, if the owner is asking to much (for your liking) then offer what you feel the vette is worth. Worst that can happen is he/she says no... PS: Sorry, I don't carfax...
 
Well when I saw no SRC switch and no power seat switches,it made the console look kinda bare.

No power seats?Hmmm...

As far as the price goes,That's way below what I've seen in this area.Average price seems to be around $25,000 with the bottom coming in no less than $18k.

I'm gonna peek at my CC and get the scoop on it though.The free (teaser)report says there are 8 reports on it.Inspection stickers most likely.
 
Here ya go;

Pass, Pass!!

Take your time and read the carfax a little slower!

The average price for a car with that kind of mileage and year at auction is maybe 10,500-11,4000 period.

And this is at Manheim Auctions in Pa. In Texas it could bring maybe another $500 depending on color.

Also keep in mind that not all accidents are even reported if it is under $5000.

Think with your head and do not touch that vette unless you bring a mechanic that is a vette specialist and is familiar with body work.


Alan
 
Thanks all.I am going to check out the others and will not be buying the 1st one.:cool
 
Good Choice!

Be carefull, and take your time, because the chance's are that the vette you pick up will be around with you for awhile.

Follow Gman's lead, we are really looking out for your best interests.

A Carfax is really only a guide, and l only use it to look for how many owners, major accidents, approx mileage because many vette owners do their own servicing so it's not recorded anywhere.

If it's not reported, it's not going to show up on a Carfax.

Alan
 
Rdgfx3, my Carfax expires 9/3. PM me if you need help, or anyone else for that matter.
 
Thanks, are you a "Gator". If you are l,m floored that they are ranked 21 in the polls.

My son graduated from U of F.


Alan
 
Anytime,rdgfx3.

Alan, I am indeed a Gator. My oldest daughter will begin classes this fall and my youngest is not too far behind. We are really young this year in particular at QB and Defense. It is probably going to be a rough year and honestly, a top 25 ranking is pretty generous, IMO.
 
G man

would you run a car fax for me please

Sure, hang on. I'll pm you the results. I'm at work so it may be a few minutes.

Fats, it looks good except for the crash. Hit a parked car. Could be a parking lot, but it could have also been worse. You may be able to get info from Ohio, but it was 8 years ago.
