I used my credit union. They wanted pictures and I showed them the NADA value.

I agree.

I've been saving like a mad dog to buy another Corvette. It's gonna happen, and when it does, it will be mine.

I can understand financing daily driver transportation, but not a 'fun' car.

Save your money people.

I guess, I see it a bit differently. Both my daily driver and my wife's daily driver are paid off, and I financed the "fun" car.
