Default Bought my first Vette 2015 Z51

New corvette owner from Michigan. Been following this forum for 2 months. So much knowledge here. It helped me negotiate with the dealer better to buy my first corvette. It's a 2015 C7 corvette z51. Picked up from Illinois and drove it back to Michigan on a sunny day. Can't get better.

Congratulations! You're going to love it. I have already driven my 2015 Z51 over 23K miles, with no major problems. It's a blast.

Great. Michigan is a little chilly. Since it has summer performance tires, just waiting for the temperature to get a little better, then it's going to be my daily driver
Roads are pretty bad too so going to get some protection film / clear bra this weekend.

Congrats!!! I am 99 percent certain that was my car. I traded it in to Castle Chevrolet for a Z06 at the end of August. I loved that car.

Yup. Got it from Castle Chevrolet and they told me the previous owner traded it for a z06 😀. What was your trade in price ?

Yes it is. I was on the market for '14 Base models but when I saw yellow & brown stone combo, fell in love with that combo the first time I saw it. Couldn't pass.

The original sticker was 79k. Received 49.5k at trade-in. We got our Z06 that listed for 104,350.00 for 84k and they would not come up at all on the trade-in. To good of a deal to pass up for the bride and I. What did you pay?
