With our car, it was pretty short and sweet. I had been checking Kijiji and other sites all winter and this one 2005 stood out. The right colour, six speed and low mileage were all there. The price was a little high but dropped bit by bit. By mid April, we figured that someone was going to jump on the car if we didn't. One look and it was sold. The owner was meticulously clean and the car probably didn't look any better when brand new. A week or so later, we brought it home. 12K miles later and we have had absolutely no regrets. The car does everything even better than we had expected, especially the gas mileage. It will be around for a lot of miles. I enjoy reading about how people got their cars. A few years ago a guy I worked with came into my tool crib and asked me if I would be interested in a '69 Chevelle that a work mate of his son-in-law was selling. It was an L78 four speed car almost identical to our COPO Chevelle that we were trying to get restored. One look and we bought it. Some things are just meant to fall into place.

[QUOTE="Keith Tedford, post: 36544, member: 1228"] With our car, it was pretty short and sweet. I had been checking Kijiji and other sites all winter and this one 2005 stood out. The right colour, six speed and low mileage were all there. The price was a little high but dropped bit by bit. By mid April, we figured that someone was going to jump on the car if we didn't. One look and it was sold. The owner was meticulously clean and the car probably didn't look any better when brand new. A week or so later, we brought it home. 12K miles later and we have had absolutely no regrets. The car does everything even better than we had expected, especially the gas mileage. It will be around for a lot of miles. I enjoy reading about how people got their cars. A few years ago a guy I worked with came into my tool crib and asked me if I would be interested in a '69 Chevelle that a work mate of his son-in-law was selling. It was an L78 four speed car almost identical to our COPO Chevelle that we were trying to get restored. One look and we bought it. Some things are just meant to fall into place. [/QUOTE]
