My husband traded in a 2013 427 for a 2014 Premiere Edition C7 convertible with Z51 car #17. Less than 1000 miles on it. Now he wants to trade back!! What do you think should I let him trade back?

Does he let you keep his ***** in your purse?

Just say no and say you will keep #17. Appears to be a chronic disease for which there is no cure.

Crudeness was not necessary. He does what he wants when he wants. Guess you are no help at all. Thanks

Can you go into more details on why he prefers the C6 he had over the C7? I'm just interested in others opinions/reasoning. Thanks

Some people can never make their minds. Make him keep it.


Cheers.

Well, you did ask if you should "let him".

What doesn't he like about the C7? If he is not happy let it go.

Why would you want to go from a c7 to a c6 ? The c6 looks very dated compared to the c7.


Is there a particular reason he doesn't like the c7 ?

He says he has had the 427 at 145mph on a blacktop road and the only problem was wide tires caught the grooves. Had new car out today on concrete straight away at 136 and car was very unstable. It is not the C6 versus the C7 it is the difference in the 427 and the C7. The 427 handles better.

Sounds like something is amiss about that particular C7. I've had mine up to speed, and it is very stable.

I remember your picture of the two green C7's. I believe he was the happy smiling one--not. That was my clue maybe he wasn't happy.

Hey if he doesn't want it, let him get what he wants. You will take a hit on the car, but part of the program.

Good luck!

If your husband thinks that he has to drive 136 or 145, I hope he has two options for his car. One of them is a damn big life insurance policy, and the other one is the built in ATM machine!
