bought a 2012 c6 grandsport last Nov for 35k, put about 5k mile on it and sold it for 34k because I jut got a SCREAMING bargin on a 2018 z51 1LT auto. Stickered for 63900, I was out the door on it at 45k. $100 shy of 19k off. Sales manager used to be my GMC dealer and I had bought a lot from him in the past 3 years (all also incredible deal) anyway, 10k off from dealership and factory rebates, 4k from sales manager of extra flex cash, plus 2900 off my old GM card, plus I got another 2k bonus on the GM CC

Congrats on the great deal you got and welcome to the C7 family. I also like your photo that proves once and for all that they don't melt.

yes, as pretty as they are, they are cars that are made to be driven not locked away for a not so rainy day. Didn't have much choice since it was raining when I picked it up, but a little weather isn't going to keep me from enjoying a car. Thanks
