Finally Pulled The Trigger!!!
Was working a deal on an 03 Coupe at a dealer about 140 miles from home. Well, on the way home from work last night I saw a Torch Red Coupe sitting on a lot not 2 miles from my house. Went in and got the info: 2004 with 10890 miles, MN6, Glass Top, HUD (1sb) Polished wheels. The darn thing was pretty! I then noticed the chrome exhaust plate, the Borla Stingers and the loyds mats. Went in today with a carfax on my car, the kelly blue book and a desire to have this vette. They were asking 42995 which I was not going to pay. ended up I paid 38000 out the door (included taxes, tags, etc). I really like it so far. Thanks to all those that have helped me on the forum!

Way to go! Sounds like you got an excellent deal. To end up at $38k I'm curious what you 1st offered them? What was the bluebook on it?
I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered. Should be tomorrow or Friday.

You did the right thing. Last year I did the same thing eccept I bought the cobra and then 6 months later I sold it and took a $10000 loss. Now Im looking for a vette again.
This time I will get the Vette.
Good luck with it.
