I bought a used 2015 DSOM coupe in April 2015. Then I traded that one in on a brand new 2016 DSOM Z06 (7 miles). Love those Daytona Sunset/Sunrise Orange cars and REALLY love the Z06!!

My situation is a little different. I purchased a new C7 in 2015. Due to mechanical problems I got an identical 2016 model via the lemon law.

Purchased my 2014 used with 300 miles - previous owner found out he was terminal shortly after taking delivery. Met him a few weeks after I got the car, nice guy - tough situation.
Car now has 42k miles - enjoy them while you can.

Ordered my 2015 exactly how I wanted it. It's cool having my name on the little plaque on the center console. I was going to do the museum delivery but didn't want to risk having it be too cold in the winter to have her released from Bowling Green.

Drove to dealer to order my 2016 DSOM car with the options I knew I wanted. Got out of my truck and sitting in the line up was the car I came home with. It had options I never thought about, but It was love at first sight. It's not DSOM, but I can live with that.....

Had a 96 with the LT4 that I bought as a one owner car with low mileage. Sold it about 10 yrs ago. I really missed it. Well 10 yrs later I decided that if I am going to get a brand new one, I would order it to get exactly what I wanted. Ordered from Mike at Criswell, best car buying experience I have ever had, and I have bought a lot of cars over the years.

Being in southern Virginia, I have always bought white cars. When I decided I wanted a vette I knew it was time for a change up. Wife, friends and relatives were amazed when I bought this black on black Stingray Z51. Black just looks so bad on Corvettes and I keep it inside and only really drive it for fun, black is great. After months of decisions (black/white, M7/A8) and such, I came to this. Black, black 2LT interior, Z51, NPP, MRC, A8, noNAV and chrome 19"/20" wheels. Found one at local dealer had everything but chrome wheels. Switched the black with the chrome on a gray vert and perfect. Pricing much better than I expected. Next one I'll order and do a factory pickup but wanted to see how much I like Corvettes first. Coming off 3 Lexus cars, it is an adjustment.
So far, ha, love the thing even if I don't drive it much.

Had spec of what I wanted, shopped it by phone with a number of dealers. Was just about to leave the office when a brand new post from Tim Boone, Boardwalk Corvettes, Redwood City, CA. showed up with TWO cars, deeply discounted. Drove over & bought it and have loved it ever since. (Ok, only been four months, but still)
