$26..... was going to need a brake job soon and needed the 90K+ miles services.... front was going to need a respray, rock chips.... minor cosmetic issues... dash was NOT delaminating.... had taken the car in for the 90K+ services, got to talking with the GM, a friend, and he offered me such a deal overall that I found it hard to resist - talked with my tech (also a friend for 30+ years)..... so, I traded.... I also had a substantial retired military discount.... no brainer for me... had decided I didn't want a C8 as I already have a mid-engine car.

All 6 of my Corvettes over the past 30 years as daily drivers have been essentially trouble free. I have never had a Corvette leave me stranded in more than 800,000 miles of driving them. I have Vette #7 in the garage as I type this. Sadly, it only has 201 miles on it - something to be rectified as soon as travel is "better condoned."
