Default Thank You

Im a new member to this vette site and now have a c5 to go with my 2-c4s. i purchased 6genvettes 2003 vert and want to thank him on here for all his help in purchasing the car. He supplied me with so much info,help, not only on the car but with the whole transaction. since it was a long distance purchase he went way beyone any seller i have dealt with. His patience, kindness, honesty and knowledge these past 2 weeks put me at ease with purchasing the car from 1200 miles away. I'm glad i joined this forum not only because i found the vette i was looking for but i also got to know a true down to earth person.
This site is lucky to have 6genvette, he is a Gentleman!!!!
Thank You Again John ,

Safely is the key word. couldnt get away from work to drive it back, so on pins and needles for a couple of days till it arrives.
cant wait to see it in person and to take the first drive!
Glad i found this site seems like a lot of real nice people.

Default Welcome to the forum Robbie

I appreciate that + feedback Robbie.

I wanted to make this as good a buying experience as possible because we know what it means to acquire a nice car without worrying abt long distance transactions. Not only did you find your car to add to the Vette collection but you discovered the best Vette Forum with a great membership. People just like you.

Enjoy that convertible this fall top down as much as possible. I know you will cause you already have. Thnx once again and I hope the car continues to meet your high expectations.

Congrats on your purchase. you will find the C5 is leaps and bounds ahead of your 2 C4s, and you will wonder why you waited so long to buy one.

Welcome and congratulations. That is a gorgeous car, and John is a straight shooter who knows his vettes. Wish you many miles of happiness with your new addition to your collection. When you get a chance, a pic of the trio would be great.
