16K sounds decent.. If you give more details like rear end gears, options, aftermarket exhaust , newer tires, or any mods you'll get much more objective responses.

Of course they are playing---of course that would only be if they did not get up on the wrong side of the bed---or lucky last night---then they might be a bit cranky.. Women are different---we could care less..

These guys are fantastic all the time and they are just messin with ya. What they do mean though is you probably should have been asking if it was a good deal "before" you bought it not after.

It does sound like a great deal anyway and a sharp looking car---try posting some more pics for us to enjoy..

Hope you enjoy it to..

Get lucky and get up on the wrong side of the bed....I got out of the WRONG bed!

Yes they are messing with you - it's a right of passage that the newbies have to take a little abuse, so don't worry about it and enjoy your car.

Next time - fill out at least the city and state as well as the year of the car in your profile, and ask more specific questions like - "Body side moldings, keep or take off?" or "Which floor mats are best?"

Then you'll really get some interesting answers!

Welcome!

Default Sounds Pretty Good

Yes, I think you've done well, except you say that the previous owner was a doctor?? Better reinspect that car, I hear those guys can be pretty weird.

Wow...the typical Corvette Forum welcome to the new guy. Lots of reasons why he may be challenged in the communications dept., so let's everybody bust his ***** for it.

You got a nice car JAH. Sounds like you got a pretty good deal on it too, if it's as represented. Welcome to the forum.
