Default Flew to Missouri and Bought a 09,C6,VY,A6,2LT,w/NPP and Drove it Back to Alabama

Here are a bunch of pics of my dream car:
These were provided by the seller(disclaimer)

Its a 09, 2LT, VY, A6, NPP with the polished forged aluminum wheels. When I picked it up it had 2287 miles. Never driven in rain, never left outside overnight, garage queen for sure.

The fellow had added:

Mesh package, dealer installed(listed on window sticker)
GM Splash guards, dealer installed
3M film on the front, rockers, mirrors and couple of other places....
Tinted windows
Mild 2 Wild
"Jakes" front and cargo mats
Car Cover
Yellow Gauge Borders in dash(no idea what they are called)
" Third Brakelight " from a GS( I likee)

Thanks to everyone on here for all your help and your patience during the process.
When I first started looking at buying I thought there is no way in he!! I am buying a car a long distance away. That and lots of other things changed as my "knowledge increased" about these cars, thanks to youse guys

Bert

Roll Tide!

Here is a before the trip pic:




You can still see some sort of stamp on the tire from the factory?(at 1:00, yellow numbers on tire

Drive it and enjoy it with the same vigor you invested in the search for your dream car.

It is a genuine Dream Car.

Very nice car! Of course the best Vettes come out of Missouri! HaHa!
What town did you buy it in? You probably passed close to my town on your trip home. Enjoy your new purchase!

You found a VY in Missouri - I looked for quite some time and wasn't able to find one here. I ended up going with Victory Red, which I also like. My first Vette was an 03 MY Vert. For some reason yellow is my favorite color on the Vette, aside from black, which is NOT good for a daily driver. Congrats on your purchase and drive it like it was meant to be driven!

Thanks everybody.

A few times I came close to settling for a cars that were close to me but they were either MN6 or did not have the NPP. Im so glad I waited

Yesterday I got the oil changed and today I detailed it. This thing looks new, even the underbody

Here are some pics that I took
