Default Forgetting the buying experience!

Searching for the car was a pain!

Buying the car was worse! with more

Forgetting all that is easy!

Driving the car makes all those pain in the rear days become distant memories!

Ah, yes. I began my Nationwide search a month ago and it ended last Friday - 30 miles from home!!! The negotiations were different then I've ever experienced. When it was over, I didn't feel like I had been taken for a ride. But the best part of it has been the last 5 days. I'm up to 400 miles.

I agree. Searching for the car was something I had never experienced. Then once found, pouncing on it and at the same time trying to get the best deal I can. It worked out and I'm glad it's over. Had my new C6 4 weeks tomorrow and love it! This is my eighth Corvette in the past 26 years.

Searching for the car was a labor, filtering the quotes more fun, striking a deal more fun, driving the car home- I will let you know after tomorrow.
