The car in the link isn't a tip. At least the one in the photos isn't....

Thanks for the insight man. I'll be checking it out over the weekend. We will see what happens.

It's a bit older than your Corvette. Do you do any of your own maintenance and repair work? If not, the dealership can get expensive. Since it is a bit older that's just something to consider.
I do most maintenance but I am not a total grease monkey haha

My thoughts have always been, drive a car, enjoy it then move on.

So many cars, so little time.

Exactly why I'm going to look at it. Ad says carerra and it has turbo kit, turbo on the shifter ****, and says turbo on door sills. But who knows somebody could've added all those turbo symbols??? Car fax lists it as a 911 turbo though.
