Default New ride.....

Moved up today to a CE LT4 6 spd Coupe. Great ride and very fast. Liked it better than some C5's..........which are great cars. First day driving, so haven't got to check out all the new features. Still reaching for my old 87 controls, etc. Went from 4+3 to 6 spd. Downgrade?

Sold my 87 to a Forum member, so it now has a good home with the family of a GM Corvette engineer in Mich. Kind of like it went back home?

Could not get much info on new C6! :D

Sorry....just want to know...I can't afford to buy a different vette now.....so I must admit I feel a little envious...

Bought from a dealer here in Raleigh, NC. A+++ condition..........for which I thank previous owner. All books , etc. Must have a ding or scratch somewhere, but have not found it yet. Price was less than owner trade-in value per Blue Book or NADA. And I bought a 2 year/24 K warranty for piece of mind. Car has had awesome service record. 0% financing on new cars has created some great deals right now. Lots of trading going on......get new Vette at lower payments, etc. In last month, I have seen 3 96's with less than 16K mi at local dealers. And two CE's.
