Trading in to what looks like a dealership begs the question about trade-in value. Were you treated fairly in your opinion?

Don't forget to do the CLB on the first year C6. Or maybe it's already been done.

Upgrade....
Hope you have many good years with the C6, My brother had a 2005 C6 and he had a lot of issues with it, He sold it after about 6 months, Looking futher about the 2005 C6 we found that they had more issues than a C5, But as I said, Hope you enjoy it and many years of good driving...
