Default Bit the bullet! Bought one

Hey guys. I finally did it... was waiting for the perfect one. I work at a chevy dealership and was just waiting for one to come in...

Guy traded his for an 07 z06...

Well, I bought a nice black 2003 z06 with 47K miles for $29995

I feel it was a good price. What do you think?

Anyway, just want to say hi, and I think I will be loving this community, coming from a Jeep and a 2003 Mustang Cobra.

Hey thanks

It's completely stock, and I got a 100K mile warranty with that price included, and 3000 bumper to bumper to take care of anything that may be wrong with it now.

Welcome. But how is that biting the bullet? I have to admit that when I wrote the check for mine in Feb '03 I was a little ill. But the prices now are fantastic if you're a buyer.

Some people will go half way across the country to save a buck, but convenience has a value. Good job!
