Default Pulled the trigger!

i was going into the dealership just to crunch numbers..

and randomly they were just dropping off a c7 right in front of me when i was walking up and that when i decided to go ahead and pull the trigger!

they gave me a decent trade in on my 2012 kia optima sx for 17. I originally didn't want a vert so this was quite a bit more then i wanted to spend. But I also didn't want to take the risk of it depreciating more.

in the end,it has been one of my dream cars, so i decided that it was worth it.

Congrats! You'll love it.

Now go home and lower it; that one sits higher in front than most C7s I've seen.
