I'm going to bump this once and ask an over-all question on this car...

What do you think? Good deal or bad deal?

Thanks for replies.

Well, you're already the high bidder, so. . .

The car looks nice. The mileage is higher than I'd go fo. I looked at this one a few days ago and that, the red interior and the tranny were the only things I didn't like.

Good luck!

Yes, 6-spd I'd much rather have. Lower milage too, but I can handle the interior.
If I win it at that, I think it's a good deal.

Big Thanks Michael, on the report!!

As your eBay score is '0' it is possible you are not familiar with all the features they offer. In the info box, note the vin#, below that it says "get the vehicle history report", click on that and it takes you to "Auto Check" which is similar to CarFax. The difference is the fee is only $7.99 (PayPal accepted)...not the same as "free" of course, but it does include a "buy back protection" against reporting errors, and you get a comprehensive history to print out and keep with your records. Should it turn out later to have had a 'rollback' etc. you're covered. CarFax recently bought one back, so it can happen. Hope you get as good a car as I just did.
Ps. I count 5-7 possible active bidders with 5 hours left. If you want this car you have to beware of being 'sniped' in the last seconds. Decide your max bid, and submit it within the last 15-20 seconds, allow time to "confirm" bid. Good Luck.

Are there any members in the area who could check it out for him? That would be much easier on the mind to have a Corvette enthusiast check out the car than to rely on the sellers description. Not trying to criticize the description but they're trying to sell the car.

Me, personally, that's too many miles. Then again, that's to be expected for a car that age. Like they said before, it's well below the 15K miles per year average. Probably even lower when you factor in that the car is in Texas, where he could drive it year round.

Unless there is something wrong that isn't obvious from the ad and/or CarFax I think you got a great deal at $6,400.

Congrats!

 

[stearnman]

Thanks Erik...I was thinking I got a great deal as well! If I get a few good driving years out of the motor, great....then I can rebuild it, when I want.

Hey Michael, I am watching the "Dream Car Garage" on the Speed Channel, and those guys are featuring your work place doing a 91 Corvette with a L98 engine!!! Awsome!!
