Default Bought my first Vette, Couldn't be happier!!

Feel like I got a great deal on my first Corvette. 2007 C6 M6 Z51. Bought it with 12,500 miles. The veteran that owned it babied it as much as I do with my cars. Purchased for 25k. Very happy with my first sports car purchase, may not be an exotic but being only 25 I feel very blessed! Glad I went with a manual, just needs a louder exhaust

Very nice C6!! Great deal you got, I have one similar, but an auto with Z51, 3LT and 13,000 miles.

Very nice. Congratulations. Just remember to check your mirrors on a hard stop. If yours is anything like mine with the Z51, it will stop on a dime at freeway speeds.
