Default another new C6 owner thread
finally got it. took a while since I bought it from a small dealership and wanted the Z51 package.

I got white b/c I figured it would be easier to maintain. Also looks pretty sharp on the vette.

Got 3LT package with 6 speed manual. Ebony interior. I decided against the navigation and Onstar.

anyway, looking forward to driving it.

15 weeks, but I had a stipulation in the sales agreement to discount 500/month starting at 12 weeks.

I had polished wheels as an option, but it got nixed with the wheel fiasco. I'm buying polished wheels from someone who bought an aftermarket set.

I bounced back and forth on the nav, but decided against it at the last minute.
