Default Went to get an oil change for a C6 and came back with a C7

I took a drive from the metroplex to Oklahoma to pick up a clear top and get an oil change for our C6 as Dave Stanley in Norman had the best price on the top-got an oil change while there too. So what do you do while waiting for an oil change? Price the new ones of course! We ended up leaving with a torch red C7! What an absolute blast and way to spend valentines day weekend.

Nice car. I have done the same sort of thing on more than one occasion.

Awesome and welcome to the C7!

I loved my C6 but it just seemed "old" (and not in a good way) as compared the C7!

That's why I change my own oil. Seriously, it's tough not to window shop when visiting the deal for maintenance. Look out if the color/combo you have your eyes on is sitting in the showroom or on dealer lot. Luckily for me, I haven't been tempted yet as I plan to wait for the 2016-2017 sweet spot between April and August before making my decision.

However that Torch Red 2LT looks like a beauty!

Another great example of why it is so much cheaper to change your own oil!!!

Congrats on your new beauty!!!

I had that problem, went site seeing to much at the Chevy dealer, then fell in love with the new body style. Went in for oil change in the C6 vert in Livingston, TN. Corvette sales lady blew me off.
So I drove to Columbus Ohio in the dodge, ordered my Z06 Jan 29,15. Went and got my baby March 15, 15 on a wet rainy day and drove her home. Put 6500ml on her last year. I love this car, go out there and drive it, enjoy it.
