Point Blank, i wanted the lowest mileage lightning in MY CHOICE OF COLOR that i could find. Unlike maybe you, money was no object.
Just because money is no object doesn't mean you should **** it away.
My friend bought an 03' Sonic Blue with 8,900 miles on it for what you payed for yours, maybe even cheaper! No connections in the business. This was 2-3 months ago tops and he fould it in CT!
How is a truck that has had paint work in "MINT" condition>???
Also, when I look for something I want I don't limit myself to a 200 mile range, that is just silly. Anyone in the business should have connections with a transport company or have their own truck and trailer. -Mat-

Well gee, this took me all of 2 seconds to find. A 1,100 mile 04' Sonic Blue. It is 40 miles away from me and listed at $25,995.

???? c5,,dude the price of those ugly too long,, super car wannabe's are droping to less then half of the msrp

heck,,,they even have the funny looking head lights

the srt10 is a much better vehicle then the c5,,,and will hold its value much better.

trucks are cool,,,vette's are nice no doubt,,,but you cant compare a c5 with a limited
production truck like a srt or svt

Never been a big vette fan but the current C6-Z06 is one hell of a car. If GM built every car with as much dedication, they wouldn't have their current issues. At 65K 3146 lbs 500hp... nothing compares anywhere. They are rockets at the track and I'm not talking straight line.

These trucks cannot be found at any auctions right now with those kind of miles. For instance there is a auction 100 miles away from me called (adesa auto aution). They are the LARGEST in NE selling approx 4000 cars a per week (every friday). There have been NO low mileage lightnings around period. Before you start running your lips, know the facts.
These trucks usually have 30-60k miles on them. Ill tell ya what, You find me one they way i want.

2003- 2004
Under 10k miles
sonic blue or white
MINT condition within 200 miles from me

for less then 27995

and ill get off my computer and kiss your a$$
Until then go jerk your self off.

Ive owned a dealership for 11 years, Dont you think I tried auctions you idiot?


While your doing that, try and find me a 1993-1995 with 2600 miles or less for $20K like my other truck . If you can do that, Ill have my wife kiss your a$$ instead.

Point Blank, i wanted the lowest mileage lightning in MY CHOICE OF COLOR that i could find. Unlike maybe you, money was no object.

huh... I bought my lightning with 3,000 (three-thousand) miles on it for $17,000.

"comparisions can be made even if there is no comparision"

i think the lightning holds it value far better then a corvette,,is it better then a vette??? to me it is,,but thats only me

if i bought vehicles because of the way they hold thier value,i would only drive classics

I never said I bought my car for the way it holds its value. I bought it because it is what I wanted.
My Z06 will turn and brake circles around a Lightning.
With a simple exhaust and tune it will hold its own on the street against a built motor Lightning.
I will probably always think the Lightning the Lightning is one of if not the best looking vehicle produced. C5 Z06's are up there too though. -Mat-
