This has me intrigued. I will likely PM you soon, but for now posting to show my interest. Like many others, I have wanted a Corvette since I was a teenager in the 1970's. Two years ago I came close to buying a C2 at a Meecum auction, but backed out. When the C7s came out, I was initially put off by the sharper lines and angles, but over the years it has grown on me and the desire has come back. I recently did a build on a 2018 Z06 on the Chevy site, and visited a local dealer to really inspect the models they had, and check the fit (I am 6'3"). Two years ago I purchased a new Jaguar F-PACE, and find that though it has some sportiness to it, not the same as being snug in a two-seater or Grand Touring vehicle like my Jaguar XKR. The 2018, wanted red, but seeing the color at the dealership was disappointing. Very bright, little paint depth, and the orange peel was excessive. This Shark Grey, it looks more serious, perhaps more elegant, and from the pictures I do not detect the excessive paint issues I saw in the red. Anyway, since I live on an island and also have a Jeep Wrangler for bumming around, my thought was to trade the SUV and XKR on the 2018 Z06, with little if any money out of pocket. I know this is a lengthy post, but sharing my back story helps me work out if this one - yours - is a good fit for me. I likely would end up selling both Jaguars if I pulled the trigger on this one. Anyway, if you want to PM me with any additional information, perhaps some thoughts on my story and how yours might fit, that would be awesome.

I can tell you gentlemen, you should feel comfortable buying the car. I bought from Chris once before on this forum. The car was a 2008 C6 with an ECS blower that he also had done at ECS. I'm a long way from him, as I'm in Arkansas. The car was exactly as he stated and would buy from him again. Good luck with the sale Chris it's a beautiful stingray!
Chris was as honest and forthright as everyone testified. After our test ride he let me take my 15-yr-old son around the block. Worth all the smiles!
I will spend more time here once I put more reading and driving time on it.
Thank you! (I'm SO excited!)

As a new member I wish to thank these members for helping to make my decision to visit and purchase. Having the support from long-standing members is another testament to the best of what a forum can do.
