Hey guys, sold my '00 coupe this morning for $1500 more than the asking price...I had 3 more showings booked for today, and the father and son that saw the car this morning did not want to chance someone else buying the car! Have enjoyed this site and all of your help, but I am getting ready to retire and am using the proceeds from the sale to buy out the lease on my wonderful '08 Odyssey...my "dogmobile". Was somewhat surprised that no one from the forum even made me an offer on a truly great original car...anyway, I will be posting my NEW service manuals and clear coated aluminum thin spokes on the C5 parts for sale forum. Best Wishes to all, Bob

So long for now,,bet you'll get another one before long,,it gets in your blood!! I could not have made a choice like that,,I'd have had to figure out another strategy!! Can't stand leases any how
!!Tried it once,,and 2years later wanted almost as much as what I could have bought it for originally if I had barged hard as I tend to do
!!Waiting to se your post about your new vette soon

Had to be a tough decision but congrats on selling the car for more than you were asking. Just because you don't have a Vette in the garage doesn't mean you can't stick around here and join in the fun. Hope you do.

I'm shocked, Bob! Sorry to hear that your stay in the world of Corvettes was so brief. As the others have said, just because you sold your car doesn't mean you can't hang around.....
