Yes. I should not have sold my 2003 MY Z06 made in October of 2002. It was my first Vette and I miss it dearly.

I sold my orange 1977 Vette back when I was 21 years old only because I couldn't afford the insurance due to a bad quote from my agent after buying it for $10K. Took me till I was 52 till I could afford a new 2009 AOM Vette but what a car compared to the "77". Better car, better color.

Sold my mint 78.

Compared to the C3, the C6 is from a different planet. No regrets!!

Now if I had had a 67 BB roadster......



The C6 stands alone.

I always regret getting rid of a Vette, but never regret getting the next.

You bet I do! I had three C1's and the 61 FI was an absolute beast.

Not to mention the fantastic investment value. OK, I won't mention it.

Yes,,,,, Very much regret selling my completely rebuilt/ready to paint 1962 in 1971 for $1000, which was just before the market and values took off. At that same time I had a deal going on a very nice 1966 427 Coupe for $1800 but it fell through at the last moment........wish I had it today!

Don't regret selling our 1978 Silver Ann in 1991 which left us Vette-less until we bought our 2005 C6 then traded for our current 2007 Z06......but will miss the Z when it goes for a ZR1!

I absolutely regret selling my previously owned cars but I have never regretted buying any of them.

No regrets, I sold the 1999 C5 Hardtop when my wife and I decided to move in togethor and she had younger kids at the time. Of course I had photos, it would have sucked to have to say, "yeah I used to have a Corvette", without proof. 4 cars later and I now have a 2005 C6, which we are getting ready to sell because my wife is pregnant (retirement present). Family first, no regrets!

Never looked back trading my 04 Z51 A4 for my 06 a6. The 04 seemed slow.
