Well folks, my dream of purchasing a nice C3 is quickly becoming a discouraging one. My budget may be my limit (roughly 10 to 12K) but I think that's the market price for a decent if not nice C3...tell me if I'm wrong please. Anyways, three deals later and a drive to look at my new baby have all turned into terrible disappointments. I can begin to understand how so many cars are overstated by sellers. Looking at many many many sites on how to evaluate a 1, 2, or 3 (wouldn't consider anything lower) level car I believe I've only been seeing 3 and 4 that owners are looking for 1 or 2 level prices. Understanding emotions and of course lots of people sink more into these cars then they should ever hope to reclaim, any suggestions on where to look would be appreciated.
I've looked via hemmings, ditigal vetter finder, corvette trader, corvette trader online, this forum, ebay, local listings, cars.com, cnv corvettes, holts corvettes...the later two are really overpriced and a lot of the inventory is ebay purchased (I have proof if you're interested.)
I'm set on a 80-82, any color but browns, creme, tans, and green with no accidents or major body repairs...a rubber bumper fix is not a biggie...fixing cracked body panels from an accident is probably going to discourage me from looking at it. Thanks
