The first time I helped because you are new here and everyone needs to be welcomed... it reminds me of a parable... give a man a fish and he will eat for a day...
You have the same tools at your finger tips as I do... the internet...
so I will help again but this time I will teach you how to fish...

here is the link for the Chevrolet financing calculator...
just click the appropriate things in the drop down boxes and type in the
Dollar amounts in the boxes and it will give you a very good estimate...

How old are you? You might want to get an insurance quote. I think the insurance payment will eat up the majority of your 2-week paycheck. Not to mention the price of gas. I waited a long time to buy mine. Good luck.

So who is going to pay insurance (probably $3000-$6000 a year for someone your age), maintenance and gas?

You are dreaming....wake up and welcome to the real world. !

You make 500 a month and live off your parents?

How much are you putting into your college education? A corvette is the last thing you should be thinking about. Otherwise, 10 years from now... you will still be shopping for a used corvette on a fixed income living with your parents or 3 roomates.

Priorities dude.

You can do anything if you set your mind too it. Just work the dealer. In reality you can get a new C6 for about 185 month on a lease. Just stick to it. They can do it if they want. I would get there early and just hang out until they do it. Now that is a base coupe. The vert or ZO6 will be slightly higher, probably about 223 a month.

Holy Chiat man. I'm only 21 and got mine, but the income differance is a bit, uhm, large. I budgeted $1200/month for "Vette Related" things... I pay $430/month for payments and insurance... These are not super-duper cheap cars to own. If you're not mechanically inclined oil changes can hit $75!!
