First Vette; First Post
So I've have been looking for a new or used C7 for about a month now. I pulled the trigger this weekend and purchased a 2016 Shark Gray Metallic Z51 3LT A8. Has pretty much everything but MRC. It has 2870 miles, but I don't see how even that many miles have been put on it; it literally looks showroom new inside and out. Well, I'm pretty giddy; I can't stop walking back and forth to the garage just to peek at it. I paid $54.5k OTD. That probably sounds a little high to you guys, but I've been searching over a month and it was the best deal I could find, and I still had to drive over an hour to a Chevy dealership out of the city. Pics to come as soon as it gets light outside.
I was really, really concerned about the ground clearance. That's why I was also considering the 2SS. So far driving it around this weekend over a myriad of different speed bumps and angles I'm shocked nothing has scraped or scrubbed in the slightest! This truly might be my DD!
