No you can't. I found exactly one C6Z anywhere in the country on autotrader for less than 35k, and it had almost 70k miles.

No you haven't. Again, I did a search of autotrader and found 4 08+ (LS3) Corvettes in the country for less than 25k, and two of them were wrecked.

Autoblog is saying 24930. Too rich for my blood. I want a Corvette next (Alexis says I can't have one though) and I can get a supercharged C5Z with lower mileage for that price.

I dont search auto trader, I search CL. Auto trader people are over priced, always. The 08's dont come up alot but THEY DO come up. The lowest i saw was 18,000 for an 08 with about 60k on it. Dont forget, i paid 18k OTD for my 08 f350, with a higher sticker then a C6

Dont test the deal hunter, I pass on great deals all the time.

LOL, you do find some craigslist BS, that's for sure. Find me a C6 LS3 Vette for less than 22k though.

I owe you a text back by the way, today at lunch unless I have to report for jury duty.

Its not BS. I have a nifty way of scoring parts for pocket lint, back rubs, dirty riddles and labor. If you're serious i'll start the hunt and let you know when I find something. If i do find something you need to be ready to pull the trigger asap or it will go away.

A couple month's back I looked for a friend on eBay and found a couple in TX, all less than $40k, and a couple around $35k. Clean, relatively low mileage AIR.
