A lot of car for that price IMHO. Things cost more now. The warranty isn't that bad either in today's dollars. Looks like after market wheels.

I am wanting to get back into corvette ownership - I have been looking for a couple of months now, initially wanted a M7 but I have decided to go A8 since it will be my daily driver and I haven't driven a manual since my 2002 Toyota Celica... I found this C7 at CarMax and given their positive reputation/warranty as of recent. I wanted to get some opinion on pricing/features of this specific car. I have done extensive research and this appears to be a very good deal but I do want to consult those of you who have been consistently in the game for a while now. It is currently being shipped to my local CarMax dealer so I haven't made the purchase besides the transport fee. Thanks and I appreciate the opinions!

Details:
2017 Corvette Grand Sport 2LT
7,500 Miles
2 Owners
CarMax Price: $59,950
5YR/75K Mile Warranty: $2,350
Clean Carfax & Auto Check Reports
Factory Sticker Info Attached Below

The GS looks awesome. The Black with Black/Red interior is a great combination.

Unless one is really into the manual transmission experience; rowing through the gears is not for everyone.

If I remember correctly, the Z07 cars were delivered with the Stage 2 aero in place and the Stage 3 aero bits in the car.
