Looking for a C7
I have a very particular set of items I'm looking for in a C7.
I want a black coupe, black wheels with a Z51 trim package. It must have an M7.
Preferably a 2015 or 2016. I had one lined up but it was sold just before I made an offer.
I've been to 7-8 dealers, check kijiji and autotrader daily. I'm in no rush but I'm a cash buyer.
I looked at a new one but it's torch red. An amazing car but the 'arrest me' red was a bit much
If you come across one, please shoot me a message.
Thanks

You say you're looking for a 2015 or 2016 but I really think you should strongly consider buying a new one. The prices on used ones is still so very high that you aren't going to save that much money unless the car you want is a loaded up 3LT model. Otherwise the price difference is going to be pretty small. My original plan was to buy a 2014 model once prices dropped a lot but they just aren't dropping! I rarely see 2014s priced at under $65,000, meanwhile the MSRP on a 2018 exactly the way I want it is $70,000 and I think I can probably talk the dealer down to $66,000 or $67,000. So it makes zero sense for me to buy a used one. I thought for sure by now the 2014s would be selling for under $50,000, especially when the MSRP on a basic Stingray in 2014 was $53,000!

I know OP says M7 but if AUTO is palatible Shagganappi in Calgary has a few MY2016's left offering 20% off for the last few months..... maybe more now with MY2018's landing. It's loaded but at least 20% off and has all the other things you desired...... Heck I'm even tempted but its black.... but "arrest me red" would be right up my alley.....

I checked out kijiji in Alberta. There are a few good prices but it's the distance and cost of shipping that will hold me back.
I am leaning heavily toward a new one now. There is some rationale; warranty work, convenience of location, no previous owner problems.
The Z51 2LT I'm considering is pricey but I think I can negotiate a lower price. Later this week I will be taking a stab at it.

There are 3 Grand Sport's available that meet your needs starting at 86K. A dealer search will show them. Search C7 Corvette, 2017. Its the GM web site for C7, then select the GS selection in other models.

Congrats! Is it a 2017 or 2018? What dealer? How much off MSRP did you get? I've currently got an M6 in my C6 but will be going with the A8 in the C7 (mainly because I promised my wife I would go that route so she could drive it)

That's good to know! I'm not sure I'll get the same kind of discount on an ordered 2018 in the new year but you never know. I would imagine sales of Corvettes are pretty slow during the winter months, especially right after Christmas.
