go learn english and get back to me.

no one talks about my car because i drive a truck that does what a truck is supposed to do. i buy my vehicles like an adult...not an asian kid.


... and i drive a car that does what a car is supposed to do... what's your point again?
You don't like it because of your own insecurities, that's obvious.

I would also be curious on what part of my English confused you so much...
I know you're not smart, but at the very least you can at read, even if you don't understand what you read.

you're the one that can't seem to grasp the difference between someone saying its overpriced and someone saying they can't afford it.

what is it supposed to do? i don't recall there being much asked from econoboxes except good mpg and being too slow to hurt yourself in.

80k mile vette on rims like that, you should know better, can't even imagine the shit that vette has seen.

At least you get to do all the maintenance on it for it's last 20k miles, before it hits 100k and becomes worthless.


The mileage is insignificant if he plans on modding it. You wouldn't know anything about that though. The engine isn't a high strung race engine out of the box. The beauty of big displacement is effortless power. The trans will last a long time yet and a rebuild is only about $1500 with upgrades. Etc etc.


I guarantee a 20k mile vette that has have lived it's life on a road course has much, much more wear than an 80k mile driver. There are a lot of those out there. In a lot of cases a car that has had daily driver mileage put on it is a safer bet than an abused weekend car. Most people depend on their dd and don't beat on it as much as someone would a nice weather cruiser. This gets debated all the time on old man forums like corvetteforum.

i think it says in the glove box that it has the z51 package installed. the vin doesnt tell you that info.

nice car though how much you get it for?


yeah the glove box will have the entire build,

looks like a 1SB car (which is a 3LT equivalent in the current model) with Z51/navi

theres a dealer over on Corvette Forum than can run the VIN through GMs system for you and get you all sorts of information regarding maintenance and such, he did it for mine before I bought it

as long as they are maintained, they will run fine for well over 100k, Callaway has a blown LS3 car they take all around with 150k+ miles

and of course, seeing another black vette around makes me :)
