I'm looking at coming down to the LA area from Canada to purchase a

2003 or 2004 Corvette and wanted some advice on purchasing. I'm thinking buying privately, rather than a dealer, is the cheaper way to go.

Can anyone suggest good websites to purchased a used Vette privately in the U.S.?

Any recommendations on preferable years?

Thanks for the help.

I'm pleased with my 2002 (purchased used a year ago). You might look for a Silver Anniversary badged car (2003). Used prices have risen in SoCal about $ 5K over the last year.

For the SoCal market, check <

Why LA? That will probably be the highest priced place in the entire nation.

I tend to agree on the price angle. If SoCal is your shopping target, look at Santa Barbara, or small isolated spots like Rancho Santa Fe. Lower mileage, fewer 1/4 mile runs and probably better care.
