SWEET! I'd go for it but it is a little impractical. I love corvettes, that one looks good. Sounds like a good price and low mileage for that year.

Not much for the color, but other than that, that sounds like a pretty good deal. 5000 miles a year, that was someone's garage queen!

And also, there's no catchy name for it. Mean Maroon just doesn't work. Seriously though, looks like a cream puff.

My dad and I have owned a 1986 Corvette for about 5 years and he has 4 friends that have corvette's. We love to go out and race around with his friends and I love to just go find races in it! Don't get me wrong they are really really really fun to drive and race around in! But Corvettes especially older ones will always require money. So my thought on this is don't be expecting to never fix your 350. Have fun with your vette if you go with it! peace

Well, I have emailed the dealer several times today. Totally shot my work day. Anyway, I found out a lot more about the car.
1. It may need new rear tires in about 5000 miles (ouch...$200 a piece)
2. The factory CD player is malfunctioning. I expected that since it is a 1992 model.
I am not getting too excited because I don't know if I can receive acceptible financial arrangements. Its hard to find a lender that will go 48 to 60 mo. on a 10 year old car with someone who is only 24 and still shouldering college debt. They'll probably want some crazy 15% interest rate or something.
