Default Added a 3rd Vette to my collection

We bought this 2012 GS last night for my wife. Traded her 2002 911 in for it.
It is still new so we got a deal we couldn't pass up to get it out of their showroom before the end of the year!!

They painted it matte pearl white with cyber grey and new wheels. My wife fell in live with it several months ago.

All I have so far is crappy phone pics last night when we picked it up and then put it away in her new home with her sisters!!

wait a minute -- you now have three Vettes and I only have one -- must be some "redistribution of Vettes" in order.

seriously though -- Very nice new Vette

Congrats!

I made an offer to a local dealer on a 1LT GS they've had on their lot since March.
We were about $8000 apart to start, then $7000, now about $3500.
I'll see how badly they want to move it out!

That is a cool looking car. Did the dealership do that, or was it used? Congrats.

Get Washington involved and they will take care of that....eventually though the plan will be for nobody to have a Vette.

Thank you everyone!!

It is a brand new car. Every year this dealership does 1 or 2 "Special Editions" that they put their name on and do different things to.

This one was mostly cosmetic with a bunch of Jake touches. Underhood liner, mats, painted on hood, wheel centers, and a couple other small jakes here and there.
