Default It’s been fun...mostly!

The Vette has a new owner as of yesterday. Her and I had some good times and some bad. The new owner got a good deal, better than I wanted but unfortunately the value of C4s has dropped in the last few years. Sold because I needed the garage space and the car was not getting used as much as she should have been. Thanks for all the help I’ve received on this forum and I hope I’ve been able to return the favor as well. I’ll be a lurker here still. Peace.

Sounds like you are no longer a "C4 guy". Any plans for getting back into the "club"?

Probably not. I’m the kind of guy who never buys the same type of car twice. Too many cool cars out there to choose from. I’m gonna be sports car less for at least a while, maybe forever. Getting older and don’t need more things to take care of. Also busy with home improvements and the like.

I hope there were more good times than bad.

Good luck in your new ventures.

Hopefully the new owner will continue to take care of it. Good luck on whatever you end up with down the road.

You're a prime candidate to own the last year of the C7 or a brand new C8 with automatic trans. You'll have no problems with a brand new Corvette and it will come with more updated safety features. Reliability, safety, and fun...can't beat it!!!
