I went to a Chevy dealership yesterday bc my friend saw a S2000 for sale and he wanted to see it. We didn't know the price so we walked in. We saw a used Chevrolet Corvette Grandsport with probably 3k or 4k miles. The sticker price was $59,995. :omg: Then we saw the S2000. It was pretty beat up. The front and rear bumpers had cracks and dents on them. The third brake light was broken. So we were thinking that it would cost less than $10k and the car would still be worth it when the body gets fixed. When we asked the sales rep, she told us it is a 2003 with 34k miles. 34k miles is awesome for a 2003 vehicle. However, their price for it was $18k+.

I'm going to work on two wheels at a time. I'm stripping the paint off the front face for now. Then the back of the front face. The inside wall looks fine. Those will just be sanded down.
