My first Corvette!!
Hello,
After some great advice from the guys on this site, I have finally bought my first Corvette.
It is a 2005 Coupe with 6000km (3800 miles). I bought it 9 days ago (Friday) in Montreal
, and it was shipped to me the next day in a trailer in Ottawa. It was driven off of the trailer and straight into a storage unit for the next 3 months. I own my first Vette and I haven't even driven it yet.
When I take it out of storage in April, the first thing I plan on doing is changing all of the fluids, and also the tires. The are is even original on this car.
The only thing that has ever been changed is the battery. Prior to purchasing it, I got a copy of the Car Proof. I went to my local GM Dealership to see what they had on file. They were able to confirm that 4/5 recalls have been completed, and the most recent battery and oil change.
I took a couple of pictures of it after it came off the trailer.

Congratulations! You're going to love it. I bought my first Corvette five weeks ago. Fortunately for me I live in Florida. I've put over 1,000 miles on mine already as I drove it home 468 miles and put over 300 miles on it yesterday driving to a show and back.
