2004 was quite a year. I started with a low mileage, mint condition 93 vert that I had bought with the intent of keeping it forever. Then the more I read about the improvements on the coming C6 the more I knew it was a "got to have". But I knew I would be doing something that was against my religion - paying full MSRP. So I decided to test the waters, and to my surprise it sold in 24 hrs. (Paid $19K, sold for $18K) There I was Vetteless until at least fall and the whole summer ahead of me. The deep discounts off sticker last spring were too much to resist, so I bought a CE vert in Mar, enjoyed the summer, and got an offer I couldn't refuse, and traded for my C6 in Sept. Now I'm happy but broke.
