Friend of a friend has a beautiful, like new, blue 2007 Corvette Z06 6-speed for sale. Garage kept, immaculate, and barely driven. It belonged to her father, who bought it from her uncle, but passed away before he got the chance to really enjoy it. 3100 miles. Yes, an average of 310 miles per year since it was built.
I don't know the asking price, but I can put you in contact with the seller. She'd like to see it go to someone who will appreciate it.
I am willing to bet he isn't gonna let that go for challenge money...

I'd buy it myself, but I'm sure it's well past my discretionary spending level, even if I sold the Manic Miata for funding.
If I hit the lottery, I will be in touch. I want the GRM discount of course.
This is, well, the same car as what I am Autoxing. Right down to the year, and paint. Great machines.

The Edmunds estimator (3100 miles, Outstanding condition, checking every option box) puts the value in the low-to-mid $30K range. A local dealer has one with a few more miles (but still well under 10K) and are asking under $40K (but it's yellow, although according to Edmunds, blue actually hurts value, which I disagree with...)

Not in the least. Being 10 years old, it just squeaks under the age limit where a lot of auto lenders balk at giving out used car loans.
I'm trying like hell not to enquire about it myself...
Blackbook retail is $32k to $39k with trade in $28k to $33k.
That should put private party $30k to $36k

Specialty lenders like Lightstream with do it and are very easy to deal with.
$34,000......72 months.......3% interest......$500 a month.
Of course my tire budget would get stupid. Sheesh, what am I thinking! I'll stick with the beater Miata for a while longer. Sigh.
