Cheap Z06 - what do you think?
Hey guys, I found this Z06 for sale.
http://www.readytofix.com/Inventory/...Theft_Blue.htm
It's a 2003, from the Seattle area. It's been stolen, and has a blown engine, that needs to be fixed. Car is selling for $17,250 USD.
Might be worthwile for somebody mechanically inclined to fix the LS6 and have a cheap '03 Z06.

Your still looking at $40,000 after its all said and done. Maybe even a little more. Taxes / Exchange rate / cost of bringing accross the border / rebuild etc. not to mention the other hidden problems that you dont know about. It a lot of work to save some money.
If I had the money... I would just save some more and buy one thats in running order locally.

If anyone wants to go down there to check it out I'm game. I need to pick up some parts anyhow in the next week or two.
17K USD comes to about 24k CAD. Taxes will be 14.5% and fees at the border around 400 bringing it to 28K CAD.
This could be a steal of a deal and warrants investigation IMO. If I had money kciking around I'd consider buying it as a race car

You pay the importation fee which covers the cost of the paper trail and federal inspection. You also pay an excise tax if you have air conditioning in the car. Other then that, no other taxes or fees for North American cars.
