My first Vette
I just bought my first Vette. I bought it on Ebay. It is a 96 with white exterior and light gray interior. Very nice. It has 40,000 miles on it and is in excellent condition. It drives like a dream. Bought it for $13,000. I hope that was a good deal, but if not then at least my dream of owning a Vette has come true. [IMG][/IMG]

Great price and welcome to the Forum. When the time comes, don't do anything to it or spend anything on it before you check here first...

My first Vette
Welcome to the forum...
That is quite a good deal!
I remember looking at '94's around 1996 and they we're still at $30,000. Amazing how prices come down over time.
Enjoy and be sure to post some pics of the car when you can. :cheers:

Congrats and Welcome...
Wow $13K for a 96' with only 40K on it. Sounds like a sweet deal.
Man all these people getting new Vettes, dang I want another one too! :sad: I have extra room in the garage.

Welcome aboard! Sounds like a smokin' deal for such a nice, low mileage car. Stick or automatic? (LT4 or LT1?) Inquiring minds want to know!

Re: My first Vette (93JetJocky)
I bought my first Corvette (a 1984) about 18 months ago. I have put more money into it than I wanted to, and every penny has returned a LOT more value than anything I have on the stock market. There is just something about owning and DRIVING a Corvette that is unbeatable!! :cheers:
