Edit: forgot to add but looking for a price tag around 25k wouldn't go above 26k.

So for specifics I am 18 ( turning 19 in a month). I have around 13k saved up and using next summer to stack up cash and purely save. My current job is a full time student but I get paid by the VA. I do summer classes which I get paid( less cash because less classes then fall and spring but still paid). As I said though I am using next summer to get a job or even two to purely save to add up. Looking to get a Vette in about a year to a year and a half. My parents will be putting the down payment down but I am thinking of even adding some of my money on top to make the down payment above minimum.

All of that is just backstory and a lot of talking and stalling but here are the specifics. I am looking for a c6 interior and exterior color do not matter. I would take a manual BUT I am really looking for a manual transmission and highly prefer one. Would do with a ls2 aswell but would highly prefer a 6.2L ls3. For miles wise anything under 70k but especially under 60k would be appreciated. Oh and would refuse a convertible.

For the advice part of this I'm curious as to how picky my expectations are and if a find like this is uncommon. I have looked on a few sites but not heavily since I do not plan on buying now. For the most part I have only found ones that are like this but are automatic and sometimes even convertibles. I would take a automatic Vette that is a non convertible and even a ls3 or ls2 but as I said I prefer a manual.
