I guess ill be the only one to say that price is too much.... the car isnt worth that... You can get a 97-2001 vette all day for around 12 grand. I speak with experience as i just picked up an awesome condition 00' vette sub 100k miles stock and in awesome shape all around pretty much with a few super small things to take care of that took maybe 3 hours of my time total for 12k, also it was the hardest color to find cheap black/black/hud... if you look around a c5 can be had really cheap. For 15k it better be newer then 99 with decently low miles for the year and in really good shape not just an average car... Granted a 02-04 c5 will generally cost more but still... I say its not a good price as someone who has within the last few months purchased a vette...

On that note I am also considering selling it to go back to an fbody....

The Japanese auto industry may not be immune from the forces reshaping the auto industry after all. Three of Japan's largest automakers are expected to approach the Japanese government asking for financial assistance as soon as today.
Bloomberg reports, "Toyota, forecasting its first loss in 59 years, may ask Japan's government for 200 billion yen ($2 billion) in loans for its credit unit as private financing has become too expensive, public broadcaster NHK reported yesterday, without naming its source." Toyota , the world's largest automaker, suffered a 40 percent sales drop in February.

The company is already "in talks with a Japanese government-backed bank on possible lending," the AP reports, "underlining the serious woes facing the car industry amid plunging global sales. Toyota Motor Corp. said no details had been decided," but on the news, Japan's Nikkei index "flirted with 26-year lows."

The company is not alone, according to the Wall Street Journal. "Honda Motor Co. said it is seeking a government loan to help shore up funds at its U.S. operations, becoming the latest Japanese auto maker to ask for Tokyo's help in doing business abroad."

A separate Bloomberg report adds, "Mazda Motor Corp. is also considering a request for government loans, spokesman Toyota Tanaka said today."

What a fake excuse. You know Lamboughini has been in many financial hardships, the company has been sold and re-sold many many times, including a brief period where the company existed in name only, right? So let me guess, you think Lambo's are crap too and you'd rather own a civic.

Who is talking about brand envy here besides you. A Corvette is not a brand. Try to stay focused.

I agree. Too high for they year and miles. Of course it depends on your area and availability, but in my area that would get you a Z06 with those miles from a private seller...
