New used Vette owner
Just got my first Vette. A 99 hatchback, black/black with every option and both tops. It only had a little over 15M on it. It has everything I wanted except chrome wheels which I plan to get down the road. Paid a little over $25K at a dealer. Not sure if that is a deal or not but I love the car. Just curious if that sounds right for that year with low miles?

Congrats again.
P.S. Then when you are done with the first 3, start planning what mods you want to do!

You got a fast color, a nice car, stop the worry about money, it will drive you nuts thinking, could I have gotten a better deal. When ever you think about a better deal, remember you could have gotten a worse car for less money. Now have some fun, run the miles up and start MODs rolling.

First, welcome to the Forum!
Congratulations on the new ride.
Getting 'chrome' wheels for your ride is easy - brouse the For Sale section of the Forum, there are many posts for these, or visit one of the Forum vendors, prices are not bad at all.

Hey Congrats I just bought a 99 torch red/oak/oak with 13k on it for a couple of grand more than that and I have no regrets whatsoever. the smile hasn't left my face for 12 days now. One of my coworkers who already had a vette gave me the advise of once you buy your car don't worry what they are selling for afterwards just enjoy the one you bought. Sure there are always going to be better deals later but then you would not have had the weeks or months of enjoyment from the one you bought.
