Default Finally got my first Z06 this weekend!

Hey all - FINALLY I have my first z06! 2011 z06/3lz/z07

After a long search I was able to find a great deal and the car I've always wanted since I was 10.

It will be a long wait until the Spring, but hopefully I'll get a few more nice days before it gets too cold.

Happy to say I'm officially one of the club!

Thanks guys! ^^^^ I agree - I looked at A LOT of cars and did a ton of research. This was the perfect opportunity and time. It just worked and I couldn't pass it up.

Looks Killer!! Get the valves checked and resist the urge to do anything else to it for a year.
Good luck with the new ride.

Nice - been looking for one similar. Keep missing out.

Yours has 16k miles - listed at 54k. Did they move any or did you not care?

^^^ They're out there, but VERY hard to find. I've been looking for months and outside of a private sale, only came across 3 ... Of the cars that I found, this was the best and BY FAR the best people to work with.

I was able to get them down to $51,500 - very straightforward deal and frankly they probably moved more than they should've. I feel awesome about the deal.
