hello, i just bought my 93 coup convertible last monday and i never thought how much fun driving could be, actually i made a trade for my jeep at a dealer i know and after some haggling we made a straight trade ... wow ! the vette has 73k miles while the jeep has 97k, and is a 05 wrangler .
i went in knowing the years on the vette and also carfax showed two prior owners but the one little problem i found is the high beam switch doesn't work . i have 8 mos. to fix it before inspection is due ... i'll live with that. i like this site and look forward to being a member. |

Sounds like a good deal!
Welcome aboard! I know that PA has a harsh inspection... so ready yourself... at 75k+ miles, many maintenance items come due: Water pump Optispark u-joints wheel bearings brakes maybe clutch (if gentle, they can go 100k miles, easy). Start budgeting now! The upside? You will be ok for another 75k or more miles. The cats last about 125k~130k. The best part? C4s are very easy to work on. They are well laid out for maintenance and just not that hard to figure out. Good luck and WELCOME!!! |

The avatar has a limit of like 150x150 pixels. About the size of the image you are currently using.
Use photoshop or even MS paint to make it smaller. To upload, it has to be under 1 meg. It would take photo shop to do that. I highly recommend photoshop elements. It's under 100.00 (well under) and does a LOT of stuff. A GREAT value. Otherwise, simply email me the pics, I will take care of it for you, at least to get you started... there is a bug in the system regarding avatars. |
