Need advice - looking to buy a used vette
 
I'm looking at coming down to the LA area from Canada to purchase a
2003 or 2004 Corvette and wanted some advice on purchasing. I'm
thinking buying privately, rather than a dealer, is the cheaper way to
go.

Can anyone suggest good websites to purchased a used Vette privately in
the U.S.?

Any recommendations on preferable years?

Thanks for the help.

Greg

I'm pleased with my 2002 (purchased used a year ago). You might look
for a Silver Anniversary badged car (2003). Used prices have risen in
SoCal about $ 5K over the last year.

For the SoCal market, check < www.autotrader.com >. Plug in a zip code
in the center of your target area and a suitable radius. (Example:
Barstow, zip 92310 with a 250 mile radius would include most of the
SoCal Area.)

Why LA? That will probably be the highest priced place in the entire
nation.

I tend to agree on the price angle. If SoCal is your shopping target,
look at Santa Barbara, or small isolated spots like Rancho Santa Fe.
Lower mileage, fewer 1/4 mile runs and probably better care.
