Got my first Vette!
I bought a 91 dark red metallic convertible for $8300. I was wondering if that was considered a good price it runs, drives and looks good the only down fall was that it has 160,000 miles but you wouldn't know it has that many seeing the car.

Hi Spyder, Welcome to our net of Vette crazy kinda guys. I'm still on my first Vette and the disease keeps getting worse. :yesnod: :thumbs:
The first piece of advice I will give is: if you plan on doing any work on the Vette yourself, please buy a full set of Helms Service Manuals for your year. Even if you don't do the work, you'll be able to get an idea of what needs to be done should something fail.
Enjoy the ride. :hurray:

Re: Got my first Vette! (Spyderific)
Hey Spyderific,
I just picked up my first vette last night too. A '91 Charcoal Metallic coupe. It's a great feeling, isn't it? I paid $10,500. for mine, delivered to my door from Florida (I live in Minnesota). Mine looked great too, but the radio is history. Fewer miles than yours though - 82,000. I am pleased with the price I paid. I think you did OK too. I'll be looking for future posts from you.

Welcome to the Forum and congrats on your new Vette. :cheers:
So long as you are happy with it you "got a good deal".
Maintenance can be high on these cars...but so is owning/driving pleasure. :yesnod:
Enjoy your Vette and save the wave.
