What to do?
Still got a little time before I have to order my car. I had picked out the LT1 with the NPP exhaust and the high wing spoiler. Comes to what I figure 63k give or take. Wife wants me to get the LT2 instead which is going to push the car up to 70k For the options that come with it, I just can't understand why to spend the extra 8k or so after taxes. She says it will have better resale value. Any good argument I can use to win my side of the story? Nav/heated seats/mirrors that fold just doesn't seem to be worth that much to me. Why are you guys interested in buying the LT2 over the LT1 in the end? Such a big price jump from the C7 isn't it?

The 1LT reminds me of what extras I have in my 2014 Honda CR-V. Pretty basic nowadays. Not much.
You get that huge list of extra stuff that you’ll use every day with the 2LT.
She’s right, you know.

Why skimp on a Vette, I don’t get why anyone buys a LT1, unless it’s just a track car, which 99% of them are not. What’s another 7 grand, 40 bucks on your payment, seriously cheap MFers........lol

If you eat the horse, don’t choke on the tail. Go 2LT all day long. I have to think resale, if you are even considering that at this point , would have to be better on a 2 LT. The leather for one is way better than the 1 when you check them out side to side

1LT is the way to go. As for resale, percentage will be same on 1LT and 2LT.
