It's been an interesting road of people getting mad because I've told them they were asking too much for their car or I pointed out something that wasn't right (like the Alarm system lights) that I asked if they could identify or ect. A dealer near me has a 1990 with 47k miles and 4 months ago they were asking $28k. Told them they were a little high and it should probably be closer to 21-22k to get people interested, and the guy told me to go elsewhere to look for my "entry level ZR-1". Right to my face. The car is still on their lot, but today it's priced at $21,5.... Another dealer near me has a car with 19k miles on it. They wanted $24k and I offered them 20k but they said they could only go down to $23k. Today the car is still on their lot for $19,8. Seems like a great deal except in my dealings with them they said they had to replace the clutch, neither of the headlight motors worked when they got it, AND the valet key wasn't functional as I discovered on the test drive. Told them to let me know when they got it all sorted out. They have not been in contact with me since I was there in person.

Just started the process with a Steel Blue one about two hours from me. Waiting to get all the answers back to my questions but really am only hoping for the best at this point! ha ha

Thank you for your help, this and Corvette Forum have always been wonderful to me.
Alarm LEDS are quite common don't forget this car was 65k back in the day and lowjacked in some cases as well. Yep it's best to buy from a former owner if you can as most are enthusiasts and know all about the car. The aftermarket dealerships not so much. GC
