We bought her in August 1996 for $7,300.00. Approximate money invested to date: $12,085.00 (Not including labor). Book value on this car, if it were in ABSOLUTELY PERFECT condition: $13,500.00 Which is why we are ONLY asking $8,200.00- a very fair price for this beautiful and reliable, but not PERFECT, car. We have fixed, restored, and added many upgrades. Following is a partial list of the things we have done to her and how much each has cost (We will provide you with the receipts):

We are selling the Vette to pay off the loan we now have for the 1999 Harley we HAD to have! We put ALL of our savings down on the Harley. Different times in the past two months, we "held" the car for several couples, for 2-3 weeks at a time (with a DEPOSIT). In the end, none of the people could qualify for loans, and one couple decided they wanted a SHOW CAR, at the last minute! We ended up losing a lot of precious time. The FIRST time we thought it was sold, we bought the 1999 Harley. Now we have a monthly payment, not in our budget! We did not buy the car thinking we would ever sell it and we are not selling it because we do not love it! It's just that we cannot afford to both. We have 5 children- our oldest girl is about to get married in February and our "baby" just entered Jr. High School! We are lucky we can afford ONE toy!

We have done extensive and thorough research and even "comparison shopping" (to see what the "competion" is like and what people are charging for similarly equipped models) so we would KNOW what a fair price was to ask for. We KNOW what is out there and we have priced her competively. We have a "must see" and a "must drive" car at a very fair price! She IS an eye catcher and a good, dependable car.

We are located in New Lenox, Illinois @ I 80 & Briggs Street. Call or write with questions and/or comments at: Home: (815)722-9850 Fax: (815)722-9854 E-Mail: Debishly@aol.com (Debi) ALYCATTZ@aol.com (Randy). Book mark this web page! Hope to talk to you soon!
